Healthy Relationships

Do you sometimes wonder if the things happening in your relationship are normal? Does the way your boyfriend or girlfriend treats you bother you? These are some questions that may help you decide if your relationship is healthy or not.

Do you:

• Ever feel guilty about having your own friends and own interests?
• Often feel pressured to spend time with your boyfriend/girlfriend when you'd rather do something else?
• Keep opinions or concerns to yourself to make things easier?
• Change your behavior to avoid fighting with your boyfriend/girlfriend?

Does your boyfriend/girlfriend:

• Get jealous when you talk to friends of the opposite sex?
• Complain about or try to control what you wear?
• Call or text you excessively?
• Push you to do things you aren't sure you want to (like sex, drugs)?
