In the dating world of today, the term "red flags" is one that we are all familiar with. Typically, red is used as a sign that one should stop doing things, the exact same way In relationships, Red flags in relationships are behavioral patterns or actions that your partner frequently shows which turn into a deal breaker for you.


Some relationship red signals are pretty clear while others we could mistake for acts of kindness or love. It is really difficult to figure out if your partner is acting irrationally or with love and care.


Some of the red flags are mentioned here : 


1 ) micro cheating 

2 ) over possessive 

3 ) humiliation in front of their friends : 

4 ) not giving respect to  your work 

5 ) neglecting towards your needs 

6 ) arrogant apologies 


Let's learn deeply about each one of them : 


1 ) micro cheating : 


Micro cheating, as the term implies, is quite popular in today's dating world and does not entail any physical contact outside of a committed relationship. However, this involves building intimacy outside your partner's knowledge. flirting, conversing with people of the other gender or your ex, making contacts beyond your relationship boundaries, maintaining  contact with your ex, texting someone and ending the communication, and so on. Even if each incident might not seem like much on its own, taken as a whole, they may damage intimacy and trust in a relationship. To keep a relationship strong, it's important to confront such behaviors in an honest and open manner


2 ) over possessive : 

In a relationship, being overly possessive can be a sign of insecurity and a lack of trust. jealousy, constant spying of your partner's activities, or attempts to manage the people they spend time with are some examples of this behavior. Although protectiveness towards your mate is normal, going too far in becoming overly possessive can cause frustration and a sense of suffocation. Mutual trust and respect are the foundation of healthy partnerships, allowing each person  to stay true to who they are is the biggest green flag. Also, having each other's social media access is a big red flag as it indicates lack of trust and zero personal space. 

3 ) humiliation in front of their friends : 

An emotional abuse approach that may ruin a long lasting relationship is humiliating your partner in public. Making disrespectful comments, dismissing their viewpoints, or insulting what they've achieved lowers their self-esteem and damages the foundation of trust and respect. A healthy relationship involves supporting and encouraging one another, especially in the presence of friends and family. Sometimes, one partner makes comments that the other finds disrespectful even though they may seem humorous and playful to others. If the person you love cannot read your face, is that not a warning sign? 

4 ) Disrespect for Your Work : 

Respecting one another's work and successes is essential to a happy relationship. Your partner may incite emotions of failure and anger if they constantly underestimate or ignore your accomplishments in your career. Your partner need to be supportive and encouraging while you pursue your goals, be it professional, educational, or personal. A solid and satisfying partnership requires mutual respect for each other's desired goals.RUN ! if its other way around. 

5 ) Ignoring what you need

There are several ways to ignore your needs, such as not making time for your partner, not prioritizing or putting your partner's emotions last. When someone regularly cancels plans, ignores you when you need to communicate, or cuts down on your emotions, it can make you feel unimportant and devalued. In order to establish an emotional connection and continuously seek to meet each other's needs, healthy relationships require open and honest communication and mutual empathy.

6 ) Self-centered Excuses

In order to settle disputes and rebuild trust in a relationship, apology is crucial. On the other hand, it may be a sign of a lack of empathy and accountability if your partner's excuses and reasons for their actions are mixed in with their fake apology. Accepting responsibility for one's actions, expressing regret, and putting forward a real effort to improve are all key components of a true apology. Stupid excuses that place the responsibility elsewhere or undervalue the significance of what they did simply make the hurt and anger cycle bigger.

Recognizing red flags in a relationship may appear simple, but standing firm and refusing to tolerate even one is the most difficult aspect of relationships. Although we all have past trauma, it is completely our responsibility to keep it from affecting our relationship. And congratulations if you met an individual who is the complete opposite of what is described above! Hold them tight.
