An unhealthy relationship has an imbalance in which one partner tries to exercise control and power over the other through threats, emotional/verbal abuse, or physical or sexual violence. The following qualities may be signs of an unhealthy dating relationship. Although anyone can be involved in a less-than-perfect relationship, these behaviors may be seen as "red flags" that something might be wrong in a relationship. • Control. One dating partner makes all the decisions and tells the other what to do, what to wear, or who to spend time with. • Dependence. One dating partner feels that he or she “cannot live without” the other. He or she may threaten to do something drastic if the relationship ends. • Dishonesty. One dating partner lies to or keeps information from the other. One dating partner steals from the other. • Disrespect. One dating partner makes fun of the opinions and interests of the other partner. He or she may destroy something that belongs to the other dating partner. • Hostility. One dating partner conflicts with or antagonizes the other dating partner. This may lead the other dating partner to “walk on egg shells” to avoid upsetting the other. • Intimidation. One dating partner tries to control aspects of the other's life by making the other partner fearful or timid. One dating partner may attempt to keep his or her partner from friends and family or threaten violence or a break-up. • Physical violence. One partner uses force to get his or her way (such as hitting, slapping, grabbing, or shoving). • Sexual violence. One dating partner pressures or forces the other into sexual activity against his or her will or without consent.
