I often get asked about Red Flags when it comes to relationships, so I wanted to share this insightful post to help explain them. I hope you find this information helpful and empowering!
People talk a lot about red flags 🚩 in relationships but what does that term mean exactly?
Throughout all contexts, the term “red flag” usually signifies a reason to stop.
Red lights signal us to stop our vehicles on the road. Red flags are thrown in sports when a game is stopped because of a foul.
In relationships, red flags are signs that a person probably can’t have a healthy relationship at that time and proceeding down the road together would be emotionally dangerous.
Here are some examples of red flags:
-They aren't willing to apologize for their wrongdoings.
-They raise their voice to prove a point.
-They lack communication & have no interest in working on it.
-They abuse alcohol and/or other substances.
-They are unwilling to compromise and always expect to get their way.
-They have a history of being dishonest and/or secretive.
-They demand your phone, email, and social media passwords.
-They blame others for their problems or avoid accountability altogether.
