CORE GREEN FLAGS

What healthy connection often includes

Respect

Your no is accepted

You can decline, pause, disagree, or change your mind without punishment.

Consistency

Words and actions align

Promises are generally followed by behaviour, not repeated excuses.

Accountability

They can own mistakes

Concerns are met with reflection rather than attack, denial, or blame shifting.

Reciprocity

Care flows both ways

Support, effort, and consideration are not permanently carried by one person.

Safety

You can be honest

You do not need to hide normal feelings or rehearse every sentence.

Freedom

Your independence is supported

Growth, friendships, privacy, and separate interests are not treated as threats.
