Relationship red flags: the warning signs you should see

Red flags in a relationship... Funny but beautiful how colours are a significant part of relationships and what they mean in relationships.

How greenlight means show of interest and desires while red flags mean warning signs. Not to divert, our focus here are the red flags in a relationship.
What's a relationship?
Relationship is simply the way two or more people or things are connected or simply the state of being connected. You can either be connected by blood, friendship, love or even association.
What's a red flag?
A red flag particularly in a relationship is seen as warning signs or indications that something is a problem.

In a relationship every single person has a red flag, although we don't always see that part of ourselves, it's left to the partner to see it and know, cause not everything which is a red flag to one person is a red flag for everyone. Everyone has what they feel are red flags to them. It's important for couples or those in a relationship to learn to look beyond the love they have for a person and spot the possible red flags in order to take the right decision. Like they say, love is blind. A person in love doesn't always see the problem like those around them.
There are a whole lot of red flags and even things we think can be overlooked are also red flags. I'll be talking a bit about a few things I consider red flags personally:
❌ Hot temper/Anger : personally I take a person's ability to handle his anger and temper very seriously, cause you see me, I'm sure my mouth is a red flag (lol) someone who doesn't have patience and is easily angered will get angry with me easily and I'm not ready for a hot tempered person to burst my lips out of anger. So yeah, anger/hot temper is a red flag for me
❌ A man who talks too much: you could call this a pet peeve or so, but as a man, once you talk too much ehhnn it's a turn off/red flag to me ooo. Please leave the talking to me as your woman. As a man why you go dey talk plenty?
❌ Pride : you see this thing called pride baa, some people can mistake self confidence for it and it's very annoyingggg. Once a guy has pride it can never be hidden and it gets very disgusting to me. You can always exude your confidence without being proud naa. Pride is a red flag I look out for even with a friend seff.
❌Insensitivity : pleaseeeee be sensitive to my emotions 😩😩 once you're insensitive to how I feel it's a big nooooo. Being sensitive to how I feel shows that you care and are present, if you aren't then we should have a rethink of what we are doing please.
❌Belittling people /arrogance : please why should a person look down on someone or belittle a person as a human beinggg?? Looking down on someone is something that can never sit well with me and so I cannot find myself dating or being in a relationship with someone who does. It's a big red flag!
Like I said earlier there are a host of other things considered as red flags, the list goes on. Once you notice a red flag, it is best you leave if you cannot manage or contain. Always remember a broken relationship is better than a broken marriage and love/ relationship should be enjoyed and not endured.

You've beautifully highlighted how personal values and boundaries play a key role in identifying these signs. @autaemmanuella
As a contribution, I’d add; Communication barriers, a lack of open, honest communication can also be a significant red flag.
Building a strong foundation requires both individuals to express and listen authentically.
Relationships indeed thrive on mutual respect and understanding

Heyy... You're very right, lack of honest communication is also a significant red flag. Well yhh the both parties should be understanding, but there's also a limit to where that understanding becomes overstretched.

Yhhh
Thank you. And in as much as they are easy to spot some people create excuses for their partners who portray such signs... Because of how blind one can be while in love.

The sensitivity part for me:) hope you'll as well be sensitive to his emotions and how he feels even without communicating them to you😃
Well, relationship works out when both partners are willing to service their relationship, it works best when the both parties put their relationship first over their individual interests...

Trust me, I read the room very well, his body language is enough communication to know something is up and my sensitivity kicks in😁.
Sorry for not engaging enough, I'll do better. Thank you very much

It’s easy to overlook warning signs, but you’re right—love should be enjoyed, not endured. I think emotional sensitivity is a big red flag for me too.

Well said, ma'am! And you're absolutely right! Every one of us has our own red flag—but we shouldn't tolerate nor turn a blind eye when we spot one on our partner. Because, like you said, "Love/relationships should be enjoyed and not endured".

Yhhh, I'm glad you actually relate with me. The fact that we all have red flags shouldn't be a reason why we turn a blind eye to that of our partners. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.
