In general, which of the following is not considered a characteristic of a healthy relationship?
a. genuine affection and mutual respect
b. infatuation and possessiveness
c. open communication and trust
d. mutual respect and compromise

B. infatuation and possessiveness

Explanation:

The infatuation paralyzes us, because it is based on an unreal expectation of passion, of happiness. There is a lack of trust and commitment in him and we often 'get infatuated' suddenly by someone we don't even know. That is why it is an empty feeling. Although we feel it strong, it is only superficiality and lightness.

The word possession shows the sense of belonging that a person has over a particular property. The sense of ownership can never be used by some people with respect to others precisely, because people are not an object but beings with freedom and dignity.

However, there are possessive people as shown by the example of jealousy that suffers from great insecurity and distrust in themselves.
