𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝗴𝘀 𝗜𝗻 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀

During this first weekend of August 2023, I wish to share with you, my community members some 𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗴𝘀 that I've observed in our relationships, which we ought to correct when we they surface in our relationships.

A 𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗴 in a relationship refers to a warning sign or indicator that there may be underlying issues or potential problems within a relationship. These signs can include negative behaviours, attitudes, or actions that might suggest an unhealthy dynamic or the potential for harm to the relationship and they often indicate a need for further consideration or communication.

Below are some 𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗴𝘀 to watch out for in our relationships:

✳️ 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
If open and honest communication is lacking, it could lead to misunderstandings and resentment.

✳️ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿:
Partners should respect each other's autonomy. Controlling behavior indicates a lack of trust and respect.

✳️ 𝗜𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆:
If one partner tries to isolate the other from loved ones, it might be a sign of manipulation or control.

✳️ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗺:
Continuous criticism can erode self-esteem and create a negative environment.

✳️ 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁:
Trust is essential for a healthy relationship. If there's consistent jealousy or suspicion, it's a concern.

✳️ 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀:
Ignoring or dismissing each other's boundaries can lead to discomfort and emotional distress.

✳️ 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝗲𝘀:
Dishonesty damages trust. Consistent lying about significant matters is problematic.

✳️ 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗹, 𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹, 𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗲:
Any form of abuse is a clear red flag that the relationship is unhealthy and unsafe.

✳️ 𝗨𝗻𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁:
Holding onto grudges and unresolved issues can poison the relationship over time.

✳️ 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀:
If partners have fundamentally different values and life goals, it can lead to conflicts and dissatisfaction.

Please, do remember that every relationship is unique so not every red flag identified here means that the relationship is doomed.

However, addressing these concerns early on is important for maintaining a healthy and respectful partnership.
Shalom!
