What healthy relationships can look like
Respect, honesty, boundaries, and mutual care in queer women’s relationships.
Healthy relationships are built on trust, respect, and clear communication. Boundaries protect both people. They can include time, privacy, emotional needs, and physical comfort. Conflict can happen, but it should not involve fear, threats, or control. If you feel unsafe, reach out to a trusted person or a support organization for guidance.
