5. Ignoring Red Flags
It is easy to let things slide when we begin a new relationship because we are hoping that the person is perfect and everything goes along swimmingly. Reality check, that’s not how life works. People make mistakes, just like you and people are definitely far from perfect. Knowing this, we choose to accept our partners as they come and never try to change them (trust us, it doesn’t work). Where do we draw the line between a person with flaws and a person who straight up is just not treating you properly? Do they not show up when you have plans to meet? Do they just disappear and reappear as they please not considering that it is shady and makes someone wonder what’s going on behind closed doors.
You have to use your own judgement in knowing what you are willing to accept and not accept from a partner. If you see a reoccurring pattern with something, especially if you’ve mentioned it continue, it’s time to close the books. Deep down, there is always that feeling in our stomachs, an intuition in knowing if something just isn’t sitting right. Follow that.
