You deserve a safe and healthy relationship.

Warning signs of abuse: Is This Abuse? Because relationships exist on a spectrum, it can be hard to tell when a behavior crosses the line from healthy to unhealthy or even abusive. Warning signs of abuse:

• Checking your cell phone or email without permission Use these warning signs to see if your relationship is going in the wrong direction: • Checking your cell phone or email without permission • Constantly putting you down • Extreme jealousy or insecurity • Explosive temper • Isolating you from family or friends • Making false accusations • Mood swings • Physically hurting you in any way • Possessiveness • Telling you what to do

All relationships exist on a spectrum from healthy to abusive with unhealthy somewhere in the middle.

Unhealthy Healthy Abusive Communication Honesty Equality Good Trust Breaks in communication Dishonesty Struggles for Pressure Inconsiderate Control behavior Manipulation Blame shifting Accusations Isolation Unhealthy Abusive

Healthy relationships are based on equality and respect. You make decisions together and can openly discuss whatever you’re dealing with, like relationship problems and sexual choices. You enjoy spending time together but can be happy apart.

Unhealthy relationships are based on attempts to control the other person. One person tries to make most of the decisions. He or she may pressure their partner about sex or refuse to see how their actions can hurt. In an unhealthy relationship, you feel like you should only spend time with your partner.

Abusive relationships are based on power and control. One person is making all of the decisions - about sexual choices, friend groups, boundaries, even what’s true and what’s not. You spend all of your time together and feel like you can’t talk to other people, especially about what’s really happening in your relationship.

Healthy Relationships Communication is a key part to building a healthy relationship. The first step is making sure you both want and expect the same things -- being on the same page is very important.

The following tips can help you create and maintain a healthy relationship: • Speak Up. In a healthy relationship, if something is bothering you, it’s best to talk about it instead of holding it in. • Respect Your Partner. Your partner’s wishes and feelings have value. Let your significant other know you are making an effort to keep their ideas in mind. Mutual respect is essential in maintaining healthy relationships.

Tips to maintain a healthy relationship (cont.): • Compromise. Disagreements are a natural part of healthy relationships, but it’s important that you find a way to compromise if you disagree on something. Try to solve conflicts in a fair and rational way. • Be Supportive. Offer reassurance and encouragement to your partner. Also, let your partner know when you need their support. Healthy relationships are about building each other up, not putting each other down. • Respect Each Other’s Privacy. Just because you’re in a relationship, doesn’t mean you have to share everything and constantly be together. Healthy relationships require space.

Healthy Boundaries Creating boundaries is a good way to keep your relationship healthy and secure. By setting boundaries together, you can both have a deeper understanding of the type of relationship that you and your partner want. Boundaries are not meant to make you feel trapped or like you’re “walking on eggshells.”

Healthy Boundaries Creating boundaries is not a sign of secrecy or distrust -- it’s an expression of what makes you feel comfortable and what you would like or not like to happen within the relationship.

Remember, healthy boundaries shouldn’t restrict your ability to: •Go out with your friends without your partner. •Participate in activities and hobbies you like. •Not have to share passwords to your email, social media accounts or phone. •Respect each other’s individual likes and needs.

Healthy Relationship Boosters Even healthy relationships can use a boost now and then. You may need a boost if you feel disconnected from your partner or like the relationship has gotten stale. If so, find a fun, simple activity you both enjoy, like going on a walk, and talk about the reasons why you want to be in the relationship. Then, keep using healthy behaviors as you continue dating.

What Isn’t a Healthy Relationship? Relationships that are not healthy are based on power and control, not equality and respect. In the early stages of an abusive relationship, you may not think the unhealthy behaviors are a big deal.

What Isn’t a Healthy Relationship? However, possessiveness, insults, jealous accusations, yelling, humiliation, pulling hair, pushing or other negative, abusive behaviors, are -- at their root -- exertions of power and control. Remember that abuse is always a choice and you deserve to be respected. There is no excuse for abuse of any kind.

If you think your relationship is unhealthy, it’s important to think about your safety now. Consider these points as you move forward: • Understand that a person can only change if they want to. You can’t force your partner to alter their behavior if they don’t believe they’re wrong. • Focus on your own needs. Are you taking care of yourself? Your wellness is always important. Watch your stress levels, take time to be with friends, get enough sleep. If you find that your relationship is draining you, consider ending it.

Points to consider in moving forward (cont.) • Connect with your support systems. Often, abusers try to isolate their partners. Talk to your friends, family members, teachers and others to make sure you’re getting the emotional support you need. Remember, our advocates are always ready to talk if you need a listening ear. • Think about breaking up. Remember that you deserve to feel safe and accepted in your relationship.

Even though you cannot change your partner, you can make changes in your own life to stay safe. Consider leaving your partner before the abuse gets worse. Whether you decide to leave or stay, make sure you use our safety planning tips or take our Healthy Relationship Quiz on loveisrespect.org.
