Relationship Red Lines Test: How Strong Are Your Standards In Love?

How strong are your standards?

By Mark Travers, Ph.D. | Last Updated: March 15, 2026

Your relationship red lines—the boundaries you maintain in romantic partnerships—reflect your attachment patterns, past experiences, and evolving understanding of what you need from love. This test measures where you fall on the spectrum from highly accommodating to uncompromising. It's important to realize that there's no single “right” approach. Rather, the key is in selecting an approach that aligns with your core values. After completing this assessment, explore our Relationship Satisfaction Scale to see how your boundaries impact your current partnership, or take our Sense of Relational Entitlement Scale to understand your expectations in intimate connections.

Step 1: Rate yourself on the following items. For best results, answer honestly and trust your first instinct.

1. I would end a relationship if my partner repeatedly violated my clearly expressed boundaries.

2. I maintain my core relationship standards, even when I feel intense attraction.

3. I have clear dealbreakers that I do not compromise on, even when I strongly like someone.

4. I leave relationships that consistently fail to meet my core needs, even if there is strong potential.

5. If a partner seriously violated my trust, rebuilding the relationship would require significant change—not just apologies.

6. I acknowledge and confront concerning behavior in my partner rather than minimizing it to protect the relationship.

7. I would rather be single than settle for someone who doesn't meet my core relationship standards.

8. I communicate my standards early in dating rather than assuming they are understood.

9. I have ended relationships others saw as “fine” because they violated my personal standards.

10. I take early red flags seriously, even when I hope the relationship will succeed.
