This is a red flag
A 🚩 warns of a problem, and it's important not to ignore it.
It's the first stage, after which you need to assess how compatible this problem is with your relationship, and whether you have the resources, support and safety to work on it.
🚩🚩 Red flags come in different kinds. Some call for ending the relationship immediately, while others can be resolved with the help of a family therapist.
In the special project "Caution: dangerous relationships", we look at the types of red flags together with psychologists and collect your stories about the alarm bells you've come across in your relationships.

Me: I was glad to spend time with you today! 🐯
Date: Honestly, I'm confused
Date: I noticed you cried during the movie. That's not manly. Tears are a sign of weakness.

Me: Yes, we try to get out somewhere as a group twice a month. This Sunday we're going on a picnic, and I want to invite you to join us. Will you come? I'd be really happy to introduce you to everyone ❤️
