Relationships and Red Flags!

One day you're on cloud nine, and the next day the bottom drops out...know the feeling? All relationships go through that wonderful honeymoon phase, but what happens after good graces have all faded? For the most part, many relationships continue down that path of happiness and enduring the emotional extravaganza however, some couples’ bliss turns really sour as they get to know each other on a more intimate level. Is this normal? You bet it is! My grandmother always used to say, "Michele, any couple can have sex...sex is the easy part, but building a solid foundation is the hard part!" So what are the warning signs? Below are some relationship red flags to be wary of which will help you determine if it is time to end your relationship and move on with your life. Please don't feel offended boys because I am writing about you...give me a few more articles and I'll share the flaws and red flags to look for in us gals too!

Downfall of a Mama’s Boy...Sound familiar? The topic that is...? So you may have been attracted to the fact that he totally prides himself on being a family man, and why wouldn’t you? However, when he is at his mom’s every weekend (or he may even still live there), then you may find that three’s a real crowd. No one likes being the third wheel, although, in the past 13 years, I am always a third, fifth or seventh wheel with my friends, however being the odd wheel with friends is much different than being the third wheel in a relationship when it's the couple and he is too dependent on the mama. We all love our parents, sure we do, but there comes a time and a place where we need to learn how to separate ourselves from them.


Hey, many men struggle to move on from the nest, because they prefer not having the hassle of laundry, cooking and cleaning. If your man happens to be the youngest in his family, chances are his mama has no desire to let go of him. After all, why should he leave home until he is in a serious relationship? Unfortunately, it can be difficult to be the woman attempting to woo him away.

 Dangerous Warning Signs of Relationship Issues- Must read these!
 
A hot tempered man can be admirable when he is defending your honor, but a relationship with a man who has a short fuse can be dangerous. Abusive relationships are never worth staying in, however, unfortunately many women do not recognize – or ignore – the early warning signs in a relationship.Trust me, no one needs this type of abuse.

If your guy wants to know of your whereabouts at all times, his jealousy might be something in danger of spiraling out of control. You should be very afraid. This is no joking matter and he has no reason to treat you in such a manner. Sure, it’s sweet when your boyfriend is thinking about and wanting to be with you, however, it is unacceptable for him to expect you to punch a time clock with him.


 Another hot topic for flag waving...withdrawal and avoidance from activities you once enjoyed can be a first red flag. If your partner is simply unwilling to spend time with you like he once did, then you may begin to suspect he has either moved on or is seeing someone else. This can be a hurtful assumption, so be sure to have a basis for your accusation before making it, but know avoidance can definitely be the beginning of the end. 

 Many men do not want to spend a lot of time talking about their emotions, that just wouldn't be cool...and when a relationship is turning sour, you will find they are making such a minimal effort it is as if they have already left. They may put off conversations or do their best to prevent them because in their minds they may already be planning a breakup.

If your partner is putting you down, and saying things are are not flattering in any way, this can be another sign of a bad relationship. Responding negatively toward you is a hurtful tactic sometimes used to push a significant other away when they are no longer wanted. It may, in your guy’s mind, be easier for him to hold you at a distance through causing the blame to fall on his shoulders than it is for him to outright say what he is feeling. Here's a suggestion...."spit it out!" That's right be honest and tell it like it is. Honesty will get you everywhere!


 I have shared this book with others on my blog page and if you have not read it, do so now. It's a great book and covers a large variety of red flags. My theory is that if I can avoid a disaster I will! I certainly don't want or need the drama, who does? Prepare yourself to not end up like so many other...wish that you had seen the warning signs.
