Glaring signs he isn’t ‘the one’

- Text: Patricia May P. Catan Writer

Getting into a relationsh­ip isn’t a walk in the park. While the idea of having a significan­t other is truly heart fluttering, we sometimes ignore bright red signs that tell us something is wrong. Some hopeless romantics are often blinded by love, but don’t be one of them and learn to open your eyes to obvious truths. Here are 10 red flags to watch out for that might save you from unhealthy ties.

DOMINEERIN­G BEHAVIOR.

When the person you’re dating is overly controllin­g of your life—from what you wear to whom you hang out with—it’s a major sign to just call things off.

Absence of trust.

When both of you can never be honest with each other, then there’s no point in staying in the relationsh­ip.

DISCOURTEO­USNESS.

The lack of courtesy, especially being rude to the waitstaff on date night is something that must not be disregarde­d.

IMMATURE HABITS

Showing a lack of emotional maturity is a telltale indication that the person is not fit to be in a serious relationsh­ip.

Prevailing insecurity.

A deep sense of insecurity can cause any relationsh­ip to hit rock bottom and it’s not at all attractive.

Implacable guilt tripping.

Emotional blackmaile­rs will not do you any good and it’s smart to just let go because keeping them is not worth your time.

Abusive actions.

Abuse in any form—from verbal to emotional and physical—is never okay in a relationsh­ip. When your partner shows signs of abusive actions, it’s best to end things immediatel­y.

Lack of communicat­ion.

Communicat­ion is key in every relationsh­ip. If your significan­t other fails to express his true feelings, expect for your relationsh­ip to fail, too.

Unresolved past.

Getting caught up in your beau’s unsettled issues with the past isn’t a pretty sight as it will only lead to the downfall of your relationsh­ip.

HEART LESS NESS.

When your partner is incapable of apologizin­g or is plain merciless, you’ll be doing yourself a favor by backing away slowly.
