Supporter Partners and Friends
Healthy Relationships
Healthy relationships are based on equality & 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
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
Abusive relationships are based on an imbalance of power & control - One person is making all 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.
