Being in a relationship is tricky, especially in today’s times, how do you know if someone genuinely cares for you?
Even the most passionate and loving marriages can suffer.
Some relationships are rocky from the start, while others develop issues over time.
These five flags provide insight into which direction your marriage might be taking.
No Growth
You stop growing together and what does this mean life is about personal and professional growth, if you with your partner and your partner trivializes your desire to grow or they criticize you and there’s no future direction in your relationship.
The reason why we say that is because you don’t want to be in a relationship where it’s the same cycle over and over again, go to work, come home sleep and it’s the same cycle every day of the week.
You want to be with someone who’s growing you, who has the desire to have a better life together, they’re planning your future and if you’re and if you’ve started that topic with your partner and they just trivialize it.
In other words, they’re going to be holding you back and do you really want that that’s the first red flag to look out for.
Toxic Fights
Is most of your interactions are not positive?
In other words, you’re always having toxic arguments with your spouse, or your spouse is shaming you.
There’s some kind of emotional abuse your partner is not supporting you etc.
It is important to keep an eye out for these things, as nobody deserves to be treated in that way.
Avoiding your partner
You find reasons to avoid your partner it happens and it’s okay doesn’t mean you’re a bad person, especially if your partner is treating you badly.
In other words, because of their behaviour towards you when you see your partner you actually want to actively avoid them.
You see their car in the parking lot and you sit in the car before you go home or you choose to spend time with friends and family, more often than you want to spend time with your partner.
Warning from your loved ones
Your family and friends urge you to end the relationship.
They are more objective than you are. You might feel intimately involved in the relationship, and your family members or friends may tell you that the relationship isn’t too good.
GET OUT!
The last red flag is your instincts are telling you to get out of the relationship.
There is a reason why we call those instincts, it’s your gut feeling telling you something is wrong here, this doesn’t feel right.
Gut feelings are real, and they can help you navigate through relationships.
You will still need to consider all the evidence to support your gut instinct before making the best decision. But trusting your instincts in relationships of all kinds is the right decision still.
When you notice red flags early in a relationship, take note of them.
Whether you’re met with indifference, experiencing possessiveness and abuse, or being put down.
