- Latest Review: The Greatest Game Ever Played...Maybe by Otto L. Wheeler
1. teaching animals to do stuff that annoys the other. i taught my dog what "GET HER" means in relation to my mom, so she now bounces on her to wake her up when i want something. ha, whoops.
2. arguing on places to go. you could maybe take insp from a kind-of-famous post that said something along the lines of a couple creating a game: they number 20 places to go, in best to worst order. then they roll a die to see where they go. they roll a critical failure and are too stubborn to back out of it.
3. date/activity ideas: blanket fort, babysitting together, breaking stupid laws, playing hide and seek (then one person getting stuck in the place they hide), picking out a pet together, nerf gun battle, trying stupid DIYs (please look up the jeans chair tutorial).

Also, a healthy relationship needs respect. Everybody has boundaries, and a partner needs to know not to cross those or test them unless given permission. Some of them are person-specific (e.g. my partner knows that I have certain trigger phrases to avoid), and some of them are often unspoken general boundaries (e.g. if it's a closed relationship, you don't go around sleeping with other people or seeking out other forms of romantic emotional bonds). Sometimes boundaries that a person might put up are due to past traumas or anxieties, and boundaries will look different depending on one's expectations for a relationship (e.g. a summer fling vs. a lifetime commitment). Furthermore, sometimes boundaries are unhealthy. For instance, jealousy is a good thing in a relationship! It often indicates that something might be wrong. However, some people take it to an unhealthy point such as setting up boundaries that dictate their partner's social life. Another example of an unhealthy boundary is when someone uses temporary boundaries to punish or manipulate their partner for things that could be resolved with communication (e.g. "you're not allowed to share ____ with me until you apologize!"). Other times, these boundaries that seem unhealthy (such as the previous example) are indicative of a serious problem and tie back to respecting your partner (e.g. refusing to finance your jobless partner's hobbies or addictions because they've been essentially mooching off of you).
Sorry, this was a lot to read! And this wasn't even the tip of the iceberg... there are so many factors that go into a healthy relationship!
