This year we’re not ignoring any red flags!
For those who are not aware, red flags are considered to be a problematic behaviours that often lead to conflict.
Similarly, red flags are warning signs that indicate unhealthy behavioural patterns.
To be fair no relationship is perfect. And if we’re honest; relationships require a lot of hard work and effort from both parties.
Which is why it is extremely important to not only recognise the red flags that may be detrimental to your relationship, but to understand why these red flags are toxic and not healthy.
On Feel Good with Andy Maqondwana, Andy asks listeners about the red flags they will no longer be ignoring this year.
In a voice note, one women mentions how men who don’t respond to text messages despite being online are walking red flags.
“A man who doesn’t respond to you, despite being online. He doesn’t even have the decency to tell you that his busy”, she shared.
Another women shared how men who talk about their financial struggles immediately after meeting are a red flag in her eyes.
“Any guy who talks about his financial struggles immediately after meeting him, RUN!”, she said.
Here a few examples of red flags you should never ignore:
- Controlling behaviour
- Jealousy
- Emotional or Physical abuse
- Lack of trust
- Co-dependency
- Gaslighting
- Bread crumbing
- No clear communication
- Lack of emotional intimacy
- Lying
- Love bombing
