If you’re dating or in the early stages of a romantic relationship
it’s important to be aware of red flag behaviors that may indicate this
will not be a solid, lasting love:
- The relationship is alcohol dependent.
You only communicate well—have fun, talk, make love—when one or both
of you are under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
- There’s trouble making a commitment.
For some people commitment is much more difficult than others. It's
harder for them to trust others or to understand the benefits of a
long-term relationship because of previous experiences or an unstable
home life growing up.
- Nonverbal communication is off between you. Instead of wanting to connect with you, the other person’s attention is on other things such as texting or watching TV.
- Jealousy about outside interests. One partner doesn’t like the other spending time with friends and family members outside the relationship.
- Controlling behavior. There is a
desire on the part of one person to control the other, stop him or her
from having independent thoughts and feelings.
- The relationship is exclusively sexual.
There is no interest in the other person other than a physical
interest. A meaningful and fulfilling relationship depends on more than
just good sex.
- No one-on-one time. One partner
only wants to be with the other as part of a group of people. If
there’s no desire to spend quality time alone with you, outside of the
bedroom, it can signify a greater issue.
