Hey how it’s going? This Michael Fiore, and this video is called the
Relationship Bill of Rights. These are the 11 things you get to expect and
even demand in a modern relationship, even if they are not things you’ve
heard before. So listen up over the next five minutes. I’m going to give
you the 11 relationship rights that you should never give up.
Right number one, you have the right to be judged and treated according to
your own words and actions, not on the words and actions of the other
douche bags, b****, or dorks your partner may have dated in the past. I’m
sorry, but just because your boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend cheated on him with
the entire college football team doesn’t mean your boyfriend can keep you
locked in the closet every Sunday and prevent you from watching ESPN too.
Two, you have the right to be told the absolute truth about the important
things and to be lied to about the stupid stuff. I’m a pretty blunt and
honest person myself, but our entire society is predicated on not always
saying exactly what’s on our mind. In a relationship you have a right to be
told the absolute truth about fidelity and cheating, sexual fantasies, the
state of your finances, whether your partner wants kids, what actually
happened to the dog, whether your partner is happy, what your partner wants
for the future.
Whether your partner loves you or not, if your partner and that guy with
the jutting chin are actually just friends or not and other earth quaking
relationship shattering stuff. You have the right to be lied to about the
stupid stuff. Like, “What are you thinking about right now?” You don’t
always want to know. “Do I look fat in this?” Seriously people ask that,
and other minor pieces of bulls***. You also have the right to a partner
who understands the actual difference between minor B.S. and important
stuff.
Three, you have the right to have a partner who’s going to be in your
corner and take your side in a fight even if they think you’re totally
wrong. If you come home crying about how your boss is a raving a**hole,
your partner should just agree, “Yep, he’s an a**hole. No if, ands, or
buts.
Number four, you have the right to forgiveness and to be accepted for the
flawed human being you are. In a long-term relationship you’re going to do
things that piss your partner off and they’re going to do things to make
you pull your hair out and plot their murder. Nobody is perfect. Humans are
flawed. We all do stupid stuff.
You have a right to be forgiven by your partner as quickly as possible and
as completely as possible, or not at all. If there’s something you’ve done
that your partner simply cannot and will not ever forgive you for, no
matter what you do or how hard they try. You have the right to be told that
so you can make a tough but necessary decision.
Number five, you have a right to a partner who encourages you to be the
best “you” you can be. Who accepts that you’ll evolve over the years, who
don’t try to change who you are. We are all moths becoming butterflies,
becoming dragons. You have a right to a partner who loves the good about
you, accepts the bad, and celebrates the you they haven’t met yet.
Number six, you have the right to regular, eager, non-judgmental, and
enthusiastic sex. You have the right to a partner who lusts after you,
let’s you know you’re sexy, is interested in your pleasure, accepts even
your weirdest kinks and fantasies. And at least occasionally worships your
body and makes you feel like the hottest man or woman on the planet.
Number seven, you have the right to independence, friendship, and privacy.
You have the right to your own private space, your own private thoughts,
your own private things, your own private life. You have the right to
pursue your passions. To be friends with whoever you damn well want and
have parts of your life that have absolutely nothing to do with your
partner. You are independent planets who choose to be in orbit. A partner
who tries to control you should be thrown into the sun.
Number eight, you have the right to be one of your partner’s top three
priorities at any given time. You have a right to a partner who drops
everything for you in a crisis, who thinks about you when you’re not
around. Who celebrates you, encourages you, and does random stuff for you
at least sometimes without you even asking for it. Yes, other stuff and
other people are going to take priority sometimes. It’s life. That’s
totally cool. But you should always be in the top three.
Number nine, you have the right to a partner who sticks by you on the bad
days, months, and years, and helps you get back to the good. There are days
you’ll wake up miserable. There are weeks life kicks you in the balls.
There are years the whole damn world feels like it’s going to fall apart.
You have a right to a partner who lets you cry on their shoulder, who tells
you it’s going to be okay even when it’s not. And who realizes one bad day
or one bad fight doesn’t mean your relationship is over.
Number ten, you have the right to be with someone who loves you. You have
the right to be with someone who celebrates you and never puts you down.
You have the right to be with someone who can deliver criticism with a kiss
instead of a slap. You have a right to feel safe in his arms and adored in
her embrace.
Finally, number eleven, you have the right to leave. You always have the
right to walk away, always. Yes, you should make the effort to fix the rips
and tears in a relationship. But there’s no honor in staying in hell. If
the bad days far outnumber the good, if the person next to you has turned
into a stranger, if all you can do is cry, and all they can do is tear you
down, it’s time to leave. You deserve better.
So those, according to Michael Fiore, are your 11 relationship rights or
dating rights. The rights you should never give up for anybody in any
circumstance. Now I’m going to tell you right now, just because you love
somebody is not a good reason to put up with bulls***. Just because you
love somebody is not a good reason to give up any of these rights or to
give up who you really are.

you think somebody else could value from seeing this video and I hope you
do, forward it on to them.
