You should feel comfortable talking to your partner about anything.
There shouldnt be any secrets between the two of you.

You arent always going to agree, which is why you need someone willing to come to compromises.
Someone who will meet you halfway instead of demanding to have their way all of the time.

Everyone makes mistakes but you need a partner who is able to own up to them.
