![]() ![]() An ex is always why a past relationship failed.It's not a major yellow flag, but it could shed light on commitment issues. So, if a partner can't communicate their opinions to you, either they are not comfortable enough with you to share their thoughts or they don't have thoughts to share. Communication is key in any relationship. If one is not capable of making decisions about their own life, you may not want to keep rocking with them. The ability to make life decisions are important. Everyone has some type of debt, but how someone handles their finances can be revealing about their money habits or level of responsibility. But more importantly, you need to figure out if the behavior exhibited by your partner is a trigger for you.Īccording to an article from Medium and The Love Brain, some yellow flags to be aware of in a potential partner are: These types of relationship flags are not deal-breakers, but they are signs that scream, "I don't know about this," or "That's weird." Yellow flags are also considered a behavior that can be acknowledged and worked on. It's the things we don't necessarily pay attention to about a person, but we should. Sheleana Aiyana, founder of Rising Woman on Instagram, shares some of the red flags you should look for when dating or consider before entering a relationship: Some of us stay with partners because we're just not aware of unhealthy habits or behaviors. Now, these signs of a red flag can vary, but it also depends on what you are willing to tolerate. According to a UK outlet, The Independent, a red flag in a relationship is defined as " something your partner does that indicates a lack of respect, integrity or interest towards the relationship." We don't listen to what our intuition is trying to tell us. And if you have to question it the first time, it's going to be a problem the second, third, and fourth time. It's often a response, interaction, or behavior that leads to you question your partner and/or the relationship. Red flags in relationships are signs that let you know that something isn't quite right. ![]() Here are some examples of red flags, green flags, and yellow flags (it's an actual thing) in relationships that you should know, look for when dating, or choosing to get serious with somebody's son or somebody's daughter. He or she can be charming and successful, but their habits or how they handle daily life can be detrimental. Not only do you need to know what type of personality traits you want in a partner, but you have to know what healthy relationship behavior is too. As remedial as it sounds, this same concept applies when it comes to dating and relationships. And green flags mean you're "safe" or "good to go". Yellow means "proceed with caution" or "slow down". We all know red means "stop", "danger", or "warning". But I'm going to stop here because that's a different conversation and a different article for another day.īut when you think of good or bad signs in general, we often think of universal signs, or we revert to what we learned as children. We can't just be out here labeling all men or some women as "toxic" or "ain't shit". But this logic is hella flawed and can't be true. And we now live in a world where we label almost any and all human behavior as " toxic". It's almost as if green flags are a rarity and hard to come by.īecause of social media, we have become hyperaware of nothing but red flags. The problem is we don't speak enough about what green flags are in a relationship. And I was definitely the type to stay longer than I should in a relationship that wasn't for me. So, we run towards toxic and ignore the signs of what a healthy relationship may look like. ![]() Why? Because it's a feeling that is foreign and doesn't register as normal. We ignore red flags, settle for yellow flags, and most times miss all the green flags when it comes to dating. The saying is true - what is not healed in your childhood later affects your adult relationships. We gravitate towards partners that resemble what we know or what seemed to be normal when it never was. And I know countless other women may have experienced the same. I grew up in a home not knowing what a healthy and loving relationship looked like. ![]()
