A new romance can be exciting.
How can you tell if your new fling is healthy or not?
What if your friends or family don’t approve?
They are likely seeing something wrong in the relationship that the honeymoon phase may cover up.
One serious issue in new relationships is love bombing.
This is far from a healthy honeymoon period, but telling the difference between the two can be difficult.
Here’s what you should be looking out for.
What is love bombing?
Love bombing is a complicated behavior in a new relationship.
You’ll likely get lots of texts and sweet gifts to make you fall head-over-heels.

How do you know if you are being love bombed?
Understanding whether or not you’re in a healthy new relationship is difficult with love bombing.
This is because of how we treat relationships in pop culture, therapist Laura Reagan toldSELF.
While love bombing can seem sweet, there are red flags that prove otherwise.
A relationship filled with love bombing will often get too serious, too quickly.
Babita Spinelli, a psychoanalyst toldMind Body Green, “Love bombing goes hard and fast.
Things will move faster than they should, which is a huge red flag.”
This is especially troubling if the feeling is not mutual.
Healthy relationships will move slower, lack control, and have clear boundaries.
