There are frequently red flags—signs that something is wrong. These are the kinds of indicators you’d notice in a friend’s new love partner but miss in your own. Below are some red flags you shouldn’t ignore while dating:...CONTINUE READING
1. There’s no trust.
A strong and happy relationship is built on trust. Both parties’ lack of trust can only lead to problems. In situations like these, people grow possessive, jealous, and paranoid, and the link becomes toxic.
2. The way they Express anger makes you feel unsafe.
Anger is normal, and if you’re in a relationship, you’ll almost certainly have moments when you want to bury your face in the next pillow and scream. However, if your partner becomes so enraged that they punch a wall or smash home items, they may escalate those actions in the future. Because issues with anger management can lead to abuse.
3. Infidelity.
If your lover cheats on you with another individual, it is a clear red sign. Betrayal is an expression of disdain for your lover. If you’ve made it obvious that you’re only dating each other, there’s potential for infidelity.
You can forgive your partner, but make sure they don’t cheat on you again.
4. They rush a new relationship forward too quickly.
This red flag, often known as “love bombing,” isn’t always about the new partner who says “I love you” too quickly or wants to move in together after only five dates. When “one person is attempting to influence the other into a state of dependency,” love bombing becomes concerning.
If your partner says words like, “I can’t live without you,” or tries to isolate you with the intensity of their feelings, these are very alarming indications.
5. Your friends and family don’t like them.
When you’re in a relationship, it can be difficult to see what’s truly going on. Your significant other does not have to get along with everyone in your life perfectly, but if your closest friends or family have severe reservations about them, it’s time to reconsider your relationship.
6. Not taking responsibility.
A person who does not hold himself or herself accountable for his or her conduct lacks personal integrity and respect for you. Everyone makes mistakes, but accepting blame shows maturity and a willingness to work things out.
7. Disrespectful to you or other people
A spouse who is consistently disrespectful to you is a significant red flag that it’s time to call it quits.
However, you should also pay attention to how they treat others. A person’s actions toward store clerks and wait staff, for example, people on the street or public transportation, or even their own friends and family, can all be quite telling.
8. Physical abuse.
That’s it if you’re physically terrified of the person, or if they’ve ever behaved in physically abusive or threatening ways. Give it a complete and total no.
Please share this with someone.
