How to identify healthy/ unhealthy relationships?

r/

Hi internet parents!
How do you tell the difference between:

  1. A relationship going through normal ups and downs
  2. A relationship that’s having issues, but can be rescued
  3. A relationship that’s not necessarily abusive, but it isn’t healthy, and it needs to end

Or alternatively, how do you decide if you should stay and work it out, or break up? And how big of a deal the issue is?
