Signs of a Healthy Relationship
"Healthy relationships are ones that bring out the best in you. Even though no relationship is perfect, healthy relationships make you feel good almost all of the time and generally bring you up and not down. Here are some characteristics and behaviors of a healthy relationship. Keep in mind that with all of these behaviors, there’s a threshold for when it becomes unhealthy. For instance, loyalty is great, but at a certain point it can be unhealthy if you are being loyal to a partner who continuously disrespects you. At the end of the day, the below characteristics in a healthy relationship make you feel confident and supported." Onelove.org

You Can Have A Mental Health Condition And A Healthy Relationship too
"It can be hard to talk about mental health in our society, and even more so with someone you’re excited about dating. I’ve dealt with depression and anxiety most of my life and received a Bipolar Type II diagnosis at age 22 which gave me an explanation for why I felt so down some days and high-strung on others. Finally, I was able to connect with the tools I needed to balance all of that out but I felt like I couldn’t talk to my partner about any of it. What if they couldn’t handle it? What if it scared them off?" Onelove.org

"A healthy relationship is a healthy relationship regardless of your sexual orientation. If you’re wondering about yours, take our relationship quiz and see how you score.
Abusers may say that disrespectful or violent behavior in a LGBTQ relationship is normal, but it’s not. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and queer (LGBTQ) youth have healthy relationships at similar rates and in much the same way as heterosexual couples." LoveisRespect.org
