The I dont's before I do: Red Flags in Relationships
- By L.S.P.
Oxford Languages quite literally defines a red flag as a āwarning sign of dangerā. I know what some of you ladies may be thinking, āI like dangerā, āDanger sounds like what I need to spice up my lifeā. I'm here to open your eyes, you don't need that kind of adventure. You'd be better off taking a hike. The saying goes, ālove is blindā, but what you don't hear is: If you squint hard enough, a red flag becomes a red heart. Here are five red flags that shouldn't be overlooked whilst on the hunt for the Ken to your Barbie:
The boy who canāt grow up
In the beginning, he's cute and loveable. You tell all your girls that he's your baby. This lasts about up until your baby can't do his own laundry. You need a man in your life - someone who provides for you emotionally and physically. If his personality is that of a āmomma's boyā, I'm going to hold your hand when I say this: the red flag is hoisted high, sister. You need to escape, there is no room for immaturity in a healthy relationship.
The man who just doesnāt know what the future holdsā¦
Tomorrow isn't promised, and no amount of manifesting with your rose quartz or your amethyst will ever tell you what lies ahead. If you feel as though you're ready to take that big girl step and put a label on it, but he doesn't want to, find somebody who will. There are more than eight billion people on this planet, girl, anybody would be lucky to call you their own! A man with commitment issues is a man who doesn't deserve you.
The man who forgot to take his meds
The man whoās allergic to the truth
5. The man who suffers from inaction
He promises you the world - all good and well. But if you donāt see concrete signs of him making the effort to improve your lives as a couple, whilst proving his love to you, kick him to the curb. Everyone says that actions speak louder than words, but I think certain words speak volumes - the words of an empty promise. Itās as though you can almost see that red flag flailing about in the distance.
