Preferred term

rules of relationships  

Definition

  • “Tell the truth to the people you love.” “Don't say hurtful things to the people you love.” If these somewhat contradictory directives appear to have a common theme and a familiar ring, it is because they are both rules governing human relationships. One can hardly be involved in a relationship without having some idea about the rules that regulate it. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; Rules of Relationships]
