I know most of us joke about ignoring the red flags that we see from our significant others, but there are some things you just can’t look past. When you’re in love, it’s hard to see how toxic your relationship is truly getting. It’s always good to have some boundaries for yourself that you won’t let a someone cross. Here are some of my deal breaking red flags.
- Rude to Their Mother
-
You can tell a lot about a person based on how they interact with their parents, especially their mom. If your significant other doesn’t treat their mother, who is the person who gave birth to them with respect, what makes you think you’ll be treated any different?
- Give You No Attention
-
Remember that no one is too busy for you. If they say that they’re too busy, it only means that they have things to do that seem more important to them than seeing you. And if your current significant other doesn’t think you deserve attention, then you should find someone who does!
- Insulting Your Insecurities
-
Every couple jokes around with each other, which is just part of the relationship. However, you should not be trying to hurt each other. You need to know where your partner’s insecurities are because these are the areas that you cannot cross. You should be careful with your signifcant other’s feelings, and make sure to build them up, not tear them down.
- Lying
-
No one should be lying to you in general, let alone your significant other. I feel like it goes without saying that this is a red flag that you cannot ignore. It is very important that there is trust in a relationship, and once that trust is broken, it can never fully be restored.
- Abuse
-
If you ever feel even slightly abused, either physically or verbally, it’s time to move on. You should stand up for yourself, and try to get out of that toxic reltaionship. Remember, there’s always a way to get help!
Be safe, and try to ackwnowledge red flags when you see them.
Always remember, actions speak louder than words!
