You have the right to:
-Have an equal say with your partner in all decisions and responsibilities related to your relationship, children, home and finances.
-Grow and explore your potential without feeling guilty, selfish or afraid.
-Have friendships with both women and men outside of your relationship with your partner.
-Express your opinions and have them given the same respect and consideration as those of your partner.
-Have and express sexual needs and desires without feeling like you are selfish, demanding or agressive.
-Have your emotional, physical and intellectual needs to be as important as the needs of your partner.
-Expect your partner to give at least 50% to resolve difficulties in your relationship.
-Hold your partner responsible for his behavior rather than assuming that responsibility yourself.
-NEVER be physically attacked or psychologically degraded by your partner and the right to terminate the relationship if either occurs.
***Expect significant behavioral changes rather than apologies and promises from your partner if a single abusive or battering incident occurs.
