Relationship check

Rate how heard you feel, anxiety levels, responsibility, and freedom, then flag any controlling behaviour or stonewalling patterns.

What this means

This checker looks at key relational signals: whether you feel heard, your anxiety level, shared responsibility, freedom to maintain outside relationships, and whether controlling or stonewalling patterns are present.

Formula used

Health score = (heard + responsibility + freedom) × 3.33 − anxiety drag − controlling penalty − stonewalling penalty

Worked example

Feeling heard 4/10, anxious 7/10, responsibility 3/10, freedom 4/10, controlling behaviour flagged — score is around 15/100, red.

Common questions

Is a low score proof the relationship is abusive?
No. This tool flags patterns worth examining, not diagnoses. A low score is a prompt to reflect or talk to someone you trust — ideally a qualified professional.

What should I do with a red result?
A red result — especially with controlling behaviour flagged — is a signal to reach out to someone. In the UK, the National Domestic Abuse Helpline (0808 2000 247) is free, confidential, and available 24/7.

Plain-English summary

Enter your scores to get a structured signal check. This is a reflection prompt, not a clinical tool.

This section translates the result into a short, direct takeaway rather than leaving the page at a bare number.

Disclaimer: This is a structured self-reflection tool, not a diagnosis, clinical assessment, relationship counselling, or safeguarding advice. If you feel unsafe, contact a domestic abuse helpline or qualified support. In the UK: National Domestic Abuse Helpline 0808 2000 247.
