Not all red flags are loud or obvious. Some show up in small, repeated moments that leave you feeling uneasy.
In this episode of This Complex Life, I unpack 10 relationship red flags you shouldn’t ignore. These aren’t just the dramatic ones like cheating or lying, they’re the quieter patterns that can slowly wear you down over time.
I talk about how to tell the difference between a red flag and a misunderstanding, what emotional safety really means, and how to use discomfort as a signal to reflect, not overreact.
Key takeaways:
- Why red flags aren’t always a reason to leave (but still matter)
- How disrespect, sarcasm or subtle put-downs can erode safety
- The importance of accountability and emotional maturity
- Why repeated boundary-pushing isn’t just annoying, it’s a warning
- What to look for when it comes to emotional manipulation
- Signs of poor frustration tolerance and conditional kindness
- How to use red flags as prompts for reflection, not panic
