Red flags are warning signs, and in relationships, these signs tell that something just isn’t right or that the relationship is heading the wrong direction.
Some red flags are too costly to ignore, even though many women don’t pay enough attention to the warning signs and certain red flags in their relationships.
These are some of those red flags that are just too risky to avoid.
1. THE RELATIONSHIP IS ALL ABOUT THE SEX
When the relationship is centred on sex, then it means everything about that relationship is flawed. When it’s just sex, sex, sex and nothing more then you need to be concerned about the kind of relationship you are having.
2. THE RELATIONSHIP DOESN’T HAVE A FUTURE
Another common red flag that shouldn’t be joked with is the future of the relationship. You shouldn’t just be in a relationship for the sake of it; the relationship should have a future. When he doesn’t show that he’s interested in the future, or the relationship doesn’t look like one heading for the future then you ought to be careful about such a relationship.
3. HE SAYS ONE THING AND DOES ANOTHER
You should have a relationship with someone who’s a man of his words. When he says one thing and does another then this shows the kind of person he is. It might look ordinary, but it surely does mean a lot.
4. HE DOESN’T TREAT YOU RIGHT
Honestly, a man should treat his lady right, and it’s a complete red flag when he doesn’t. He should take you out on dates, make you feel special and be a gentleman. If he doesn’t do this then it’s a red flag that you should be wary of.
5. HE’S TOO BUSY FOR YOU
What I know is that when a man cares about a woman, he makes time out for her within his busy schedule; he knows he misses her and cares a lot about her, so even though he’s busy, he seeks for those little gaps, so he can spend time with his lady. However, a man who isn’t extremely busy would make tons of excuses with the busy card and even feel justified about it.
If he’s always too busy for you then you have to be careful.
6. LITTLE OR NO COMMUNICATION
How then can he show that he cares when he doesn’t even communicate? Communication is like the spine of the relationship; it holds the relationship in place and it keeps the love going. If he doesn’t see the need to communicate with you, then you should be wary of such a relationship.
7. HE DOESN’T SHOW HE LOVES YOU
He doesn’t show he loves you and he doesn’t say he loves you, then that could pose a problem. Honestly, you shouldn’t be in such a relationship; you ought to love and be loved as well.
8. THE RELATIONSHIP IS ONE-SIDED
In a relationship, both partners have to care and both partners have to put in efforts to make the relationship work. If you are the only one putting in efforts to make the relationship work, then that’s a one-sided relationship, and that’s a red flag that you shouldn’t just ignore.
9. YOU ARE MOSTLY UNHAPPY THAN HAPPY
You should have a relationship with a man who would make you happy rather than being unhappy. There is hardly a perfect relationship, and there are times when things might not work out, but in general, it shouldn’t be all sadness in your relationship.
10. HE’S LAZY
I’ve seen lots of women stand up for their man even when he’s lazy, in the name of love. A man should be hardworking, especially if it’s a man who you want a future with. If he’s lazy, without dreams, jobless and doesn’t care about it and feels okay that you pay his bills, then that’s a red flag that should scare the heck out of you.
11. HE DOESN’T INTRODUCE YOU TO HIS FAMILY
There is a stage the relationship would reach that he should make his family aware that he has someone special in his life. If he cannot take you to his family, then something is definitely wrong somewhere.
12. HE BLAMES YOU FOR EVERY THING
This happens a lot in relationships, where one partner is made to be a scapegoat and takes all the blame for everything that’s wrong with the relationship. When your partner doesn’t take blames but apportion all the blames to you then you that’s a relationship red flag you shouldn’t take for granted.
