Red Flags in Your Relationship

Red Flags in Your Relationship

Have you ever been sitting around and wondered why your new guy hasn’t called you even though you are on like your 17th date?  If you are on your 17th date and they are not crazy about you, it might make you feel that your partner is distant or that they are being cold.  It might be hard for you to want to work on the relationship or go on with it when you are happy and in love but all of a sudden you feel let down.

In these types of situations, you might need to take the blinders off and realize what is really going on in the relationship.

Here are some things that you should never ignore:

  • Distance

They say that distance makes your heart grow fonder, but if you are feeling that when you are giving your partner space that they aren’t missing you, pay attention.  This doesn’t mean that they are bad, it means that they might have different ideas or needs than you have.

  • Space

When you are nice and you aren’t clingy and you feel like you are doing everything right, but your partner is always somewhere else, chances are they might have problems with space and with other issues.  They might need to speak with someone professionally about it.

  • Complaining

If your partner is always complaining about your family or your friends and doesn’t want you to hang out with them, you might need to see if they are trying to manipulate you.  Some people want to control everything you do and have, and this is a red flag.

  • Values

You and your partner are not going to always share the same ideas, but what about your values?  If you have a partner that is against the religious or basic values that you have, he may not be right for you.  You need to be able to agree on some things in order for the relationship to be healthy.

  • Self-Esteem

When you have a partner that makes you feel bad about yourself and causes your self-esteem to lower, you need to let them go and find someone that sees you as a prize.

  • Future

When you are in a relationship and you want to make it serious, talk about the future.  If your partner refuses to go there, chances are he is not in the relationship for the long run and is only thinking about short term love.

  • Sex

It is great to have sex and it should be good and rewarding, but if that is the only thing that you have in common, chances are you are not meant to be together.  There has to be more to a relationship than just sex.

  1. Wow, this article is a revelation! It perfectly highlights the subtle signals we often overlook in relationships. Kudos to the author for such insightful advice!

  2. This article serves as a good reminder that relationships require ongoing evaluation. If major issues like self-esteem and future goals are not discussed, it may lead to bigger problems down the line.

  3. I appreciate the comprehensive overview given here. These are practical indicators that can help people assess where they stand in their relationships and make informed decisions.

  4. The article brings up some essential points that are often overlooked in relationships. It’s crucial to be aware of these signs to ensure both partners are truly aligned.

  5. This piece might be well-intentioned, but it perpetuates overly simplistic views of complex relationships. Real-life scenarios require more nuanced understanding.

  6. The section on values is critical. If foundational values clash, it is difficult to maintain a long-term relationship despite other compatibilities.

  7. The points about distance and space resonate with me. Sometimes, it’s hard to determine whether it’s just a phase or a sign of deeper issues.

    • True, but it’s also essential to communicate openly with your partner to understand their perspective better.

    • I agree, Toots. Reading this made me realize that it’s important to differentiate between temporary distance and a pattern of avoidance.

  8. Ah, the age-old dance of modern romance. Perhaps next, we can discuss how to psychoanalyze your cat for insights into your love life. This is oddly amusing in its simplicity.

  9. The section on values is particularly critical. Aligning on core beliefs is foundational for a strong and enduring partnership. Very informative read!

  10. Seriously? If you’re on date 17 and still wondering why he hasn’t called, maybe it’s time to wake up and smell the coffee. He’s just not that into you. End of story.
