Relationship Spectrum
Every relationship looks different: some are healthy, some are unhealthy, and some can cross the line into abusive. Think of it like a spectrum. Our Relationship Spectrum tool lets you look at real-life examples and decide: does this feel healthy, unhealthy, or abusive? It’s a chance to reflect on where your own relationship might fall.
If something feels off or you’re spotting red flags, that’s important to pay attention to. It doesn’t mean you’re overreacting: your feelings are valid. If you’re worried your relationship could be unhealthy or abusive, you don’t have to figure it out alone. You can make a safety plan, or text, call, or chat with an advocate who will listen and help you explore your options — completely confidential and judgment-free.
Boundaries
Boundaries matter! No matter what stage your relationship is in. Whether you’re hooking up, just starting to date, or in a long-term commitment, setting and respecting boundaries is what keeps things healthy.
Boundaries are about making sure both people feel safe to share their wants, fears, goals, and limits, and knowing those boundaries will be respected. You should be able to say what you need without worrying about how your partner will react. Respect goes both ways, and honoring each other’s boundaries builds trust.
Trust and emotional safety are the foundation of a healthy relationship. Ask yourself: Do they support me? Do their actions match their words? Can I take space without drama? If the answer is “no” too often, it might be a sign your boundaries aren’t being respected.
When it comes to conflict, arguments happen in every relationship. What matters is how you handle them. Staying respectful, listening, and working on solutions (even for small stuff like dishes, plans, or what movie to watch) keeps conflict from turning toxic.
Don’t forget about online spaces, too. Digital boundaries matter just as much. Before you talk with your partner, think about what you’re comfortable sharing, and be clear about your limits. Healthy relationships - online and off - are built on trust, respect, and boundaries.
