Don’t guess… know what’s healthy.

1. Mutual Respect
You both treat each other kindly, even when you disagree. There’s no name-calling, pressure, or putting each other down.

2. Healthy Communication
You can talk openly about how you feel without fear of being ignored or judged. Both people listen, not just respond.

3. Boundaries Are Honored
You feel comfortable saying “no,” and your boundaries (physical, emotional, digital) are respected without pushback.

4. Trust & Honesty
There’s no constant checking, accusing, or hiding things. You feel secure without needing to prove everything.

5. You’re Still Yourself
You don’t lose your identity, friendships, or interests just to keep the relationship. A healthy relationship adds to your life, it doesn’t take it over.

6. No Pressure (Physical or Emotional)
You’re never pushed into doing something you’re not ready for—whether that’s physical affection, sharing passwords, or saying “I love you.”

7. Conflict Is Handled Well
Disagreements happen, but they don’t turn into yelling, threats, or silent treatment. You work through things, not against each other.

8. Supportive, Not Controlling
They encourage your goals, friendships, and growth instead of trying to control where you go, who you talk to, or what you do.

9. Safe Online & Offline Behavior
There’s respect for privacy, no demanding passwords, tracking location, or sharing personal messages/photos without consent.

10. You Feel Good About the Relationship
At the end of the day, you feel valued, respected, and at peace, not anxious, confused, or constantly stressed.
