Everyone warns you about red flags in a relationship but I want to hear about green flags
So here’s some. Add your own if you’d like!
* listens to you talk when you have issues and supports you through them
* stops doing things you tell them make you uncomfortable
* compromises when necessary
* never puts you down deliberately, especially not publically
* supports your ambitions
* uses a calm rational tone during arguments
* is able to apologise when they’re in the wrong
* aids your growth process
* provides you with time and support as you need it but still prioritizes themselves first
* wants to get to know your friends
* has their own friends too
* respects your financial situation & considers it when making plans
* thanks you for speaking your mind
* acknowledges & plans for potential negative outcomes
* treats you like a friend, in addition to a romantic partner
