Most Ignored Red Flags In a Relationship

Love is not enough”. it may not be due to the lack of money or influence.

Red flags in a Relationship are not just personal dislikes that may be subject to the nature or personality of individuals (which varies). Red flags are signs that go off when someone or something intuitively feels wrong. They may be subtle signs that are easy to ignore or make excuses for during the relationship but in the long run….oops

We will share with you the red flags all readers need to be aware of.

1. LOVE BOMBING: This is common with narcissists (they create an impression that everyone around them is terrible except them). They rush the relationship forward and make you feel so dependent on them alone. They make you feel as if you can only exist with them and you doubt your reality. In many cases, these people may make you quit your job, a place of worship, and withdraw you from family and friends, especially if you have people who will protect you from them. Eventually, they withdraw suddenly and become abusive emotionally and/or physically.
2. GASLIGHTING: Your partner gaslights you when they say things like, “it was just a joke”, “you are too sensitive”, “you get unnecessarily worked up over nothing”, and “what else do you want from me”. You are manipulated into thinking that everything wrong is your fault and you are asking for too much.
3. POOR OR EXTREME EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION: When they are extreme about their feelings: they hold on to you as if for dear life when they feel sad, they throw, break, hit things or objects when they are angry. This may lead to abuse in the future.
4. ABUSE: While many red flags lead to abuse. It is important to repeat this as it cannot be overemphasized. In any relationship where your partner physically, emotionally, and mentally abuses or sexually puts you in harm’s way, you should opt-out immediately. This has ended many promising lives.
5. JEALOUSY AND OBSESSION: A healthy jealousy shows your worth in a relationship. But when your partner is intent on controlling what you wear, how you look, speak, and where you go, isolating you and knowing your every move, monitoring you by calling every minute, spying on you or your devices, especially, sharing your social logins or screen with them? This is unhealthy.
6. ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE: Make them get help, but if they don’t, we suggest you move on. This behaviour could ruin your finances and relationships with others. It could lead to emotional and physical abuse.
7. LACK OF COMMUNICATION: They may sometimes “ghost” (not reply to your calls or texts) you or not listen when you talk. This is a sign that they are disconnected or distracted. If it can be solved, you may talk about it but sis, if he ghosts you once, then he will over and over.
8. CRITICISM AND LACK OF EMPATHY: When you are often compared to others, and your feelings are completely ignored, you may need to re-evaluate your worth in that relationship.

No two men are the same, and what applies to one may not apply to the other. Regardless, we know when the alarm bells go off non-stop, we don’t think you should wait till he changes. He may never!
