Entering a new relationship can be wonderfully exiting. Getting to know someone and experiencing new things can be lots of fun, not to mention life changing! However, the art of dating isn’t always a walk in the park, obviously. Although thrilling, the whole thing can also be extremely nerve wracking and sometimes the surprises you face are bad ones rather than good. Here we have a range of people sharing their ‘red flags’ that they experienced before, during and in hindsight of, their relationships. Take a look!

If you’re someone who beats themselves up over not seeing the warning signs of a bad person/relationship, always remind yourself that each mistake is a lesson learned. It’s easy to be blinded by feelings and some people are very good at manipulating others. Just bear in mind to always go with your gut feeling, it is there for a reason. If alarm bells are screaming at you, there is a reason! However, equally, giving people a chance and wanting to see the best in a person are great qualities to have, so, don’t be too hard on yourself if you mess up every now and again. No one is perfect after all! Keep going to see more red flags!
This relationship sounds quite one sided.
