Identifying Red Flags: Common red flags in a relationship include a lack of trust, poor communication, and disrespect. Trust issues may manifest as dishonesty, secrecy, or frequent accusations. Poor communication might involve inconsistent or unclear interactions, leading to misunderstandings. Disrespect can appear as verbal, emotional, or physical abuse, or as a general disregard for your feelings and boundaries. Other red flags include major incompatibilities in core values or life goals, and persistent feelings of anxiety or discomfort in your partner’s presence. It’s important to address these issues early to determine if they can be resolved or if it’s best to move on.
