10 Red Flags in Dating Relationships
Here are some 'red flags' to watch out for in a new partner:
1) He makes decisions about where to go or what to do with
little or not input from you.
2) He belittled your opinion when the two of you are alone
and may call you names.
3) He makes disparaging remarks about you in front of others
and may talk about you as if you were not there.
4) He may be rough during lovemaking and make you engage in
acts you do not like.
5) He does not want to spend time with your friends or family
and insists you socialize with his people.
6) He will not acknowledge your areas of expertise and may
put down what you do in the workplace - ignoring any of
your accomplishments.
7) He may openly flirt with other women and then accuse you
of being jealous when you object.
8) He gets angry and loses his temper over trivialities.
Stays angry for a long time and attempts to blame all
arguments on you.
9) He may hit walls when angry.
10) One of the main factors is that he comes on very strong
in the beginning of your relationship - sweeps you off
your feet - and wants an exclusive relationship too
quickly. Many women feel flattered at the intensity of
the man's seeming need for an immediate connection and
consequently overlook the inappropriateness of it.
This should not be confused with 'love at first sight'
where one or both parties feel an instant connection -
without any of the aforementioned behaviors.
There are many other factors that could be listed - but if the man
if your life begins displaying the above qualities - realize it
will not get better, only worse. He will likely be unwilling to
discuss his emotions openly and feel that women are the inferior
sex.
If this describes your man, run - do not walk - out of his life!
The next step will likely be physical abuse.
