Safety precautions in a relationship are essential for creating a healthy and secure environment. Taking steps to ensure safety fosters trust and emotional well-being. By prioritizing safety, individuals can build stronger connections and nurture healthier bonds with their loved ones.
Some measures that can help maintain a safe and respectful relationship:
•Stay in touch with your friends and stay involved in activities that you enjoy.
•Tell family members, colleagues or responsible friends about what is happening. They could help you screen calls.
•Try not to be alone with your partner in an isolated or deserted location. Go out to public places.
•Try to go out with a group of people or at least one other couple.
•Before leaving home, let other people know what your plans are, where you will be and when you will return
•Try not to be dependent on your partner to pick up or drop you.
•Trust your instincts. If you feel you are in danger, get help immediately.
•Change your routine, don't always use the same route and avoid travelling alone.
•Make a list of phone numbers, including crisis lines, and supportive friends whom you can call when you are worried or upset.
•If you plan to break up with your partner, do so in a public place. Let other people know that you plan to break up with your partner and let them know where you'll be and when.
Remember - everyone has rights in a relationship
Keep in mind that you have the right:
•To trust yourself and your instincts.
•To be respected as a person.
•To change your mind.
•To express your feelings.
•To refuse a date.
•To not be physically, emotionally, or sexually abused.
•To break up with someone who makes you feel bad.

i agree with helpinneed , but no planning in scrums or anythings works, people just ping whenever they want to and say that things are urgent, so pls look into it.Ellene on 22 Sep 2019, 14:41 PM
It is saddening to see how many women with careers are also expected to do housework. - that too in India - where hired domestic help is cheap and abundant. Hire a cook and a cleaner - that's not going to cost more than a car EMI, often even less. Come home and eat, sleep, read and play with your kid. The cook will cook everything, the cleaner will clean everything. There is NO need to slave like this and if in a dual income family that can well afford hired help, someone is expecting the wife to do housework - I'd say consider divorce.RitaVerma on 29 Jan 2018, 15:15 PM
I wish delegation was so easy! Sadly, in most of the times, the in-laws and even the husband expect the woman to wake up before everyone, make breakfast, lunch, pack tiffin, set the table, do the laundry, make the bed and then go to office. After coming back, immediately cook dinner, set the table, fold the laundry, do the dishes.. While the entire family would just come to the table to eat... They do understand that the husband had a hectic day at work and needs rest.. is offered water and the family will surround him and chit chat watching TV. However, the same people still complain that the woman still doesn't do "enough"preetialloria on 17 Nov 2017, 11:44 AM
I think this is the concern for all working women. How can we draw limits to each responsibility? The problem is worse when your partner is also in a highly demanding profession and can't share your responsibility even though he understands the issues.krubarl on 09 Mar 2016, 13:12 PM
Even I am having the same concern. I do not have a work life balance. Work, family and baby. Less sleep, but in laws do not understand and they have their own expectations. I do not even find a "me time" for myself. I have a one year old baby, but I am not able to spend enough time her because of the household workSJain1 on 17 Aug 2015, 05:30 AM
Agree with sshali. How does one makes the in-laws understand? Although its not rocket science to understand that when a lady is working 16-17 hours a day [including household], she is ought to get tired. How difficult is that to see and grasp? ironically, weekends become more tiring than weekdays. :(helpinneed on 26 Mar 2015, 04:34 AM
This problem exists mainly because Indian IT companies have a fetish for long working hours. Try having a disciplined fixed work hour schedule. Do planning/estimation as they do in Germany and see how things fall in place. Since you work closely with companies make them understand this.AnandMony on 25 Mar 2015, 12:23 PM
