DO NOW: Correct responses

1. Texting to ask where you are

2. Saying you aren’t allowed to see you friends

4. Telling you what to wear

6. Shouting at you

5. Asking you to keep a secret

3. Telling you if you loved them, you’d do what they want

It’s very normal for your partner to want to know what you are up to or check where you are to see if you are safe. This can be a red flag if they are asking constantly though.

If you are in trouble, sometimes your parents can stop you seeing your friends as a punishment. Couples should feel equal though and no one should ever try to punish a partner or stop them seeing their friends.

This is coercive behaviour. If they really loved YOU, they would respect your decisions!

What you wear is up to you. Sometimes places like school and work have rules about what you can wear but healthy couples don’t. Your partner should respect your choice of what to wear.

In many ways, romantic partners are like close friends so it may be very normal for them to tell you something they only trust you with.

As always though if there is a risk to anyone you should speak to a trusted adult.

Just like friends and family, couples can fall out and argue with each other at times. Shouting at people isn’t a good idea when you fall out with anyone but being shouted at all the time isn’t normal or healthy in a relationship.

Arguments in a healthy relationship should end with a genuine apology and kind words to one another.
