They say "hindsight is 20/20" and when you’re in a relationship it's hard to see what’s bad about your situation - until things go spectacularly wrong. Ask a lot of people and they’ll tell you there were definitely warning signs that their partner wasn’t good for them but at the time most people are just too blind to see it.
Well, now a bunch of people have taken to the anonymous Whisper app to reveal the red flags that should have been a warning that the person they were with was simply no good, and maybe if you can identify with them you’ll realize it’s time to get out.
Relationship red flags include:
- “I should have known he was a sociopath when he would make me watch scary movies until I cried and screamed. He was fascinated by fear because he can’t feel it.”
- “I broke it off with him. I should have done it earlier when I started picking up on the red flags. Lots of girlfriends, always busy, ignoring me, blaming me for things. I feel like a fool.”
- “My ex said to me, ‘why don’t you just get pregnant already so I can settle down?’ Big red flag. Next day I found out he was cheating on me.”
- “Take it as a big red flag if he literally stands up during the brunch date to look around you because he thinks he sees his ex.”
- “Another big red flag…my boyfriend told me he didn’t want me playing video games because you can chat with other people. I have given him no reason to be jealous. He just is. It’s getting ridiculous.”
- “Red flag: When a guy calls his ex ‘psycho; or ‘crazy.’”
- “if something is too good to be true, nine times out of ten it is too good to be true. I should have went with my gut when it said something wasn’t right.”
- “Should have known he was a d-bag when he said to keep our relationship a secret. Red flag ignored. My bad.”
- “It should have been a red flag when my ex’s pet name for me was ‘mom.’”
- “I should have known it was a red flag when he said ‘baby you can’t hurt me,’ instead of ‘I trust you,’ or ‘won’t.’”
- “In all these years of experience. I finally know it’s a big red flag when she says ‘he’s just a close friend.’”
- “Every time a guy says ‘I’m not like the rest,’ that should be a big warning sign that they ARE in fact just like the rest.”
- “Our anniversary being on Friday the 13th should have been my first red flag.”
