Green flags are words, behaviors, and feelings that makes someone feel seen, heard, safe, healthy, and supported by the other. With that being said this is not an all or nothing situation. Everyone is human. Everyone makes mistakes. These are green flags in terms of how you typically feel around the person. A nine times out of ten situation. Even in times of conflict, you still feel safe and supported. *Safe and supported in relation to emotional as well as physical*

What may seem like green flags
Not fighting with each other is often looked at as a green flag, but there is never a time of conflict between you and your partner, then that means you are suppressing emotions.
Sex as main means of connecting…physical attraction and the satisfaction of pleasure should not be the main component of your relationship.
