Fostering Healthy Relationships Learning healthy & unhealthy behaviors in relationships can help you better understand how you deserve to be treated and what the warning signs are of abuse.
Healthy Behaviors in Relationships

Does not repeat behaviors after you have expressed discomfort or unhappiness with them
Acknowledges your autonomy and independence - does not try to control you or make decisions for you
Willing to work on the relationship & form a deeper connection
Validates your feelings & emotions
Unhealthy Behaviors in Relationships
Red Flags
Dishonestly or untrustworthiness
Controlling where you go, who you talk to, what you do, etc.
Invalidating your feelings & emotions by trying to make you feel as though you're crazy (gaslighting)
Constantly putting you down, calling you names, or humiliating you
Patterns of aggression, anger, or rage
Unwillingness to compromise, discuss problems, or make decisions together
Extreme jealously, possessiveness, or competitiveness
Any form of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse
Think you might be in an unhealthy relationship? If you are witnessing or experiencing unhealthy behaviors in your relationship, this does not necessarily mean your partner is abusive, but it does mean that your boundaries are being disrespected and your needs are not being met. Saying "no" to unhealthy relationships isn't always easy, but if you feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or afraid in your relationship, reach out to a trusted friend or family member, or to an agency such as Shelterhouse.
