Conflict and difficulty are inevitable in any kind of relationship. Frustrating circumstances can make even the strongest and happiest of couples start to second guess their relationship and ask themselves whether or not it’s even worth it. Are you in a situation where you're unsure about your relationship but you don't want to spend the rest of your life regretting your decision and pining over “the one that got away”? Would it be better to stay with this person or break up now? To help you answer that question, here are a few definitive signs that can help you realize whether or not someone is worth fighting for.

00:02 Hey, Psych2Goers, welcome back to another video.
00:09 Thanks so much for all the love and support
00:11 that you've given us.
00:12 Psych2Go's mission is to make psychology
00:14 more accessible to everyone.
00:16 Let's get this video started.
00:18 Are you worried about conflict and friction
00:20 in your relationship?
00:22 Have you started asking yourself
00:23 whether or not the relationship is worth it?
00:25 Stressful circumstances can make even the strongest
00:28 and happiest of couples second guess their relationship.
00:32 No matter how much you might love someone
00:34 or how strong your desire to be with them is,
00:36 there will still be times that might make you stop
00:39 and consider whether or not your relationship
00:40 can go the distance.
00:42 Here are seven definitive signs
00:45 that can help you realize whether or not
00:47 someone is worth fighting for.
00:49 One, they make you happy.
00:52 When we find someone who makes us happy,
00:54 we wanna do everything that we can
00:55 to keep this person in our lives.
00:58 Numerous studies have found that having close
01:00 and meaningful relationships with the people around us
01:03 is integral to a greater quality of life
01:06 and stronger feelings of overall contentment
01:08 and satisfaction.
01:10 These kinds of special bonds with people
01:12 are exhibited in friends or romantic partners
01:14 who make you smile and feel good about yourself.
01:17 These types of strong, positive relationships
01:20 can last a lifetime.
01:22 Two, you can talk to them about anything.
01:25 Honesty and openness are the foundation
01:28 of loving and healthy relationships.
01:30 Do you truly feel like you can talk to your partner
01:32 about anything, from your deepest, darkest secrets
01:36 to all your hopes and dreams?
01:38 If so, then it shows that there's a deep sense of trust
01:41 and understanding and acceptance between the two of you.
01:44 And that kind of connection is rare to find.
01:47 Three, you love spending time with them.
01:51 Do you enjoy spending time with your partner?
01:53 Do you look forward to seeing them and being around them?
01:56 Even if you're not planning on doing anything
01:58 particularly fun or exciting, if you answered yes,
02:01 then it shows that what you have with this person is special
02:04 because you enjoy their company
02:05 and you feel good about being around them.
02:08 You're content with the mundane
02:10 because as long as you two are together,
02:11 you always have a good time.
02:13 A relationship like this with your partner is easy,
02:16 comfortable, and definitely worth holding onto.
02:20 Four, you can be yourself around them.
02:22 Another great reason why you should fight for someone
02:25 is if they make you feel like you're free
02:27 to be yourself around them.
02:28 They accept you and love you just the way you are,
02:31 so you feel safe letting your guard down with them.
02:34 They never make you feel like you're not good enough
02:36 or that you need to try hard to impress them
02:38 or that you should change yourself just to please them.
02:41 They bring out the best in you.
02:43 And when you're around them,
02:44 you have the freedom to be your truest, most authentic self.
02:48 Five, you agree to disagree.
02:51 Do you believe that couples should strive
02:52 to have as little conflict as possible
02:54 to keep their relationship strong?
02:56 Well, the truth is,
02:58 constructive conflict is actually a good thing.
03:01 When you and your partner can agree to disagree about things,
03:04 it shows that you're both mature enough
03:06 to handle your problems without resorting to fighting,
03:08 name-calling, and passive-aggressive behaviors.
03:11 Agreeing to disagree shows that you prioritize your relation
03:14 over your desire to be right.
03:17 It shows that you're willing to set your pride aside
03:19 for your partner and vice versa.
03:22 You respect each other's differences
03:24 and value one another's opinions,
03:26 which is a very good sign that you're with the right person.
03:29 Six, you share the same core values.
03:32 Do you and your partner have different views
03:34 and opinions on things?
03:35 That's okay, as long as you share the same core values.
03:39 Core values are defined
03:41 as the fundamental beliefs a person upholds.
03:44 These are guiding principles that help dictate behavior
03:47 and understanding the difference between right and wrong.
03:50 If you invest in a relationship
03:52 with someone whose values are not aligned with yours,
03:55 it generally leads to increased disagreements,
03:58 misunderstandings, and resentment over time.
04:02 However, if you and your partner
04:03 believe in the same core values,
04:05 then it'll be easier to maintain
04:07 a healthy relationship with them,
04:08 despite the challenges you might have to face together.
04:12 And seven, you help each other grow as people.
04:16 Is your partner dependable and encouraging?
04:19 Do they boost your confidence
04:20 and push you towards achieving your goals
04:22 because of how much they believe in you?
04:24 Do they make you wanna be a better person
04:26 because of the wonderful example that they set for you?
04:30 A relationship where you help each other grow
04:31 and change for the better
04:33 is a relationship worth fighting for.
04:35 Finding a partner who not only loves and supports you,
04:37 but also challenges you,
04:39 can help you become the best possible version of yourself.
04:43 Falling in love and making a genuine,
04:44 healthy emotional connection with someone
04:46 isn't something that happens too often.
04:49 Did any of these signs make you realize
04:51 that your relationship is actually worth fighting for?
04:54 After watching this video,
04:55 did you decide to give up on your partner?
04:58 Or do you plan to work through your problems
