Identify a red-flag

[Estherr]

Identifying a red flag often involves recognizing patterns of behavior or situations that suggest something unhealthy, unsafe, or questionable.
Red flags aren't always deal-breakers, but it's important to pay attention to them and assess if the situation is something you want to engage with or if it’s worth addressing. Does any of this resonate with a situation you're thinking about?

For me, it's trusting my gut feeling. If something feels wrong, it probably is.

It's not always easy to walk away, but it's better than staying in a situation that's bad for you.

I've been in situations where I ignored some warning signs early on, and it didn't end well. Like this one time, I was dating a guy who would get super jealous whenever I hung out with my friends. At first I thought it was kinda sweet that he wanted to spend so much time with me. But it kept getting worse and more controlling.

Looking back, that jealousy was def a red flag I should've paid more attention to. It's not always easy to see these things clearly when you're in it, tho.
One incident might not mean much, but if there's a pattern forming, that's when you gotta take notice.

One time I dated this girl who often hangs out with her friends. At first it was fine, then her friends more and more influencing her to break up with me. She's the kind of person who easily got influenced even though our relationship was fine. I was sad that I break up with her but maybe that's for good.

One big red flag in a relationship is when your partner tries to control who you hang out with. Like, if they get mad when you wanna see your friends or family without them.

If your partner can't handle you having a life outside of them, that's def not good. You deserve someone who supports your other relationships, not tries to limit them.
