Johanna is worried about her new relationship. Derek needs to know where she is at all times, has told her she's not
allowed to talk to her best friend Hector, and called her stupid and lazy when she scored low on her last math test. But
he also buys her favorite chocolate, makes her feel safe, and says he loves her. These behaviors describe which type of
relationship?

The behaviors described reflect an unhealthy and potentially abusive relationship. Derek's controlling behavior, isolation of Johanna from her friend, and verbal insults are warning signs of abuse. Despite small gestures of affection like buying her favorite chocolate and saying he loves her, the overall pattern of behavior is concerning. Johanna should consider seeking support from friends, family, or a professional to assess the situation and explore her options.
