Red flags in a relationship you shouldn’t ignore

        

The concept of red flags in a relationship has made many people 'dodge the bullet'. It has

prevented heartbreaks of various magnitude when addressed immediately and properly.

Red flags are those signs that can lead to something dangerous. In a relationship, they are those signs or behaviors that shouldn't be ignored or taken lightly. To others, it might simply be a dealbreaker. Although what you consider a red flag may not be to others. Some red flags in relationships could be as a result of frustration, terrible childhood, low self-esteem, peer pressure, an easy way to let go of the partner. This isn't to say it is right to put others in a situation where they are emotionally or physically hurt. These are the most common red flags in relationships.

• Lack of trust
• Incompatibility 
• Lack of communication 
• Anger
• Gold digging 
• Manipulative behavior 
• Laziness 
• Being too clingy to partner’s friends
• Double standard/lifestyle 

Some red flags can actually be turned to a green light when both partners communicate properly about what they feel is going on and either partner is willing to genuinely change. I believe if you are already in a relationship and you notice something you aren’t comfortable with, don’t break up right away- talk about it in a way that they will understand, this can be understood more during counseling. However, when these red flags put you in a terrible situation, please leave the relationship-- there's someone else better for you :)
