Relationship Red Flag Checker
Score your relationship across key health signals to get a green, amber, or red verdict — with a clear disclaimer that this is not a diagnosis.
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.
