Should Red Flags Always Mean the End of a Relationship?
“I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves.” ― Steve Maraboli
The advice you typically read is very simple. Here are the top ten reg flags in a relationship. If you see one, run.
But honestly, should we always run? Is it possible we are cutting people off way too soon?
Some people may show us truly bad signs. I will give you an example. A friend of mine was going on a first date with a guy. She called him the day of to confirm the date.
The two had said they would meet at a sushi restaurant at 6:30. But she called that afternoon to say she had to stop by a work event on her way to dinner. So she asked if they could meet at 7 instead. And he lost it. Yelled at her. Told her to get her shit together. Told her he shouldn’t have to remind her of her commitments.
Of course she was upset. Apologetic. And she tried to smooth things over. He was having none of it.
She cancelled the date and blocked his number.
I would say if a guy is yelling at you about anything before you even meet in person, yeah, go ahead and run. That is…
