Respect Checklist

Your rights in a relationship:

If you are in a relationship, you must be treated with respect, which means your boyfriend or partner:

is willing to compromise

lets you feel comfortable being yourself

is able to admit to being wrong

tries to resolve conflict by talking honestly

enables you to feel safe being with him

respects your feelings, your opinions and your friends

accepts you saying no to things you don't want to do (like sex)

accepts you changing your mind

respects your wishes if you want to end the relationship


When someone loves you, you feel valued, respected and free to be yourself. You should not be made to feel intimidated or controlled.

Think about your relationship - do you feel respected?
