Green Flags

Actually handled it well.

A Green Flag is the room recognizing the good read instead of the bad one. Clear communication, respected boundaries, accountability without being chased for it — the kind of behavior that's easy to overlook because it doesn't create drama. Naming it matters: it tells the owner that what they're second-guessing was, in fact, the healthy move.

Common signs

• Communicates clearly instead of leaving you guessing
• Respects a boundary the first time it's stated
• Owns their part without being pushed into it
• Consistent words and actions over time
