A term used to describe a series of responsibilities that should be expected to be practiced whenever people are involved in a romantic relationship. Some of these include:
Actively work to help your partner become and stay physically and mentally healthy and safe
Listen to what your partner has to say and respect their feelings, opinions, and choices, but speak up if you feel something they said was hurtful to you
Try to be understanding of the person you are seeing’s feelings when you or your partner make a mistake or are dealing with problem, take responsibility for your mistakes, and cooperate with them to see if you can help them figure out ways to effectively address the issue
Don’t expect your partner to do something you, if you are not willing to do the same for them
Work to try to make your partner happy when and where you can
Recognize the person you are seeing’s needs and try to fulfill the needs
Respect the limits your partner places for doing certain things with you and know your own limits and communicate about them to your partner so they can react appropriately
Recognize that your partner may want space and privacy and respect their choice operate in that way
When your partner needs you, try to be there for them, no matter how challenging it may be for you to do so; even if they have not said anything to indicate something is wrong.

Romantic responsibility is an important because it helps to prevent abuse in relationships and ensure that the romantic relationship you are in is beneficial to both you and your partner.
Where relational interaction crosses the line which is considered exclusively for marriage/romance by an individual.
This tolerance varies from person to person, and can be determined by; what creates sexual desire/tension.
OBVIOUSLY: In a friendship where one person's romantic tolerance is lower, the relationship should naturally adhere to the lower standard.
(If they wish to remain platonic)
In a ROMANTIC relationship, if one person's tolerance is lower than the other, they are more likely to experience arguments and insecurity over exclusivity.
This is because the individual with the LOWER standard assumes that their partner has the same 'boundaries'/'tolerance' as themselves and become offended when their partner surpasses this limit.
Ex.
Person A: "You're cheating on me!"
Person B: "I literally just hugged them. Why are you so upset?"
In this scenario, Person A associates hugging as something that 'universally' creates sexual tension/desire because it is true for them personally.
So they label Person B as having broken romantic exclusivity.
However, Person B has a higher 'romantic tolerance' and sees hugging as an innocent form of interaction and socialising.
In reality, there was no betrayal.
"...She got butterflies every time a guy spoke to her. She had a very low romantic tolerance, as apposed to her sister who could easily have guy-friends without an issue."
