Red Flags in Relationships
Having a significant age gap in a relationship is not necessarily a red flag, but it's important to consider if you're in the same stage of life and have a similar outlook on growth. Cheating in the past can be a red flag, but it depends on the individual's ownership and healing from their actions. Boundaries regarding physical intimacy can be a red flag if there is a significant difference between partners' preferences. Jealousy can be a red flag if it stems from insecurity or control. Narcissistic tendencies should be taken seriously as a red flag, but using the label of narcissism should not be done lightly. Judgmental and holier-than-thou attitudes can be a red flag as they may indicate a lack of grace and empathy. Dishonesty, whether it's outright lying or white lies, is a definite red flag as it undermines trust and communication in a relationship.
