MODERATORS
I'm only a few years older than you, but I agree. And I'll also say that some (respectful) criticism at home is ok, and if I'm honest, should be expected.
We're all not perfect and can't expect to get nothing but praise or adoration from our partners, nor should it be expected of us. But all criticism should come from a place of love and respect; it's not your partner against you about a problem, it's you and your partner against a problem.
Healthy relationships require hard conversations like that, but no one deserves to be in a relationship where they can't feel comfortable to be themselves without being attacked for it (with some obvious exceptions).
