Say that. Let him know what you will and won't tolerate in a relationship. Relationships are about balance, give and take, not for one party to have an upper hand, over the other.

I feel, even before considering moving in with a person, some semblance of relationship counseling. Especially, when communications regularly break down. Guess what I am driving at, is that if one party isn't on board to sort it out ahead of time, that one party won't be on board, after things get deeper and more complex.

Trust your gut.

Why I know I'm in the midst of a healthy relationship, is knowledge that the two of us, combined have decades of therapy, self work, mindful approaches, commitment to sorting through our wounds. Communication, far from falters. Know who you are getting involved with, before you get too deeply entrenched and your emotions needs to be untangled.
