Scenario
We open in a hallway with our male narrator introducing the topic of the video: healthy and unhealthy relationships, and equality in them. We then see a heterosexual couple arguing about the female spending too much time with a guy who is not her boyfriend. This a classic case of jealousy from the male partner. In the next scene, roles switch and the female partner is expressing jealousy and concern about her boyfriends whereabouts. The narrator indicates that these are milder examples that represent deeper trust issues in a relationship and that these issues do not promote healthy relationships.
In the next room, it’s a clear example of domestic violence– a more extreme situation compared to our other ones. The narrator continues by stating that balance and equality are essential aspects of a healthy relationship. He also explains that relationships which don’t have equal balance aren’t healthy or beneficial for either partner and usually don’t end well. The narrator closes by asking 3 important questions, “Why am I with this person? How does this person support me? How do I support this person?”
Take a moment to look at and reflect on your current or previous personal relationships.
