Do You Miss Red Flags? 7 Reasons Why

Don’t ignore the message your heart is sending you.

Ah, good ol’ red flags. The sometimes subtle, but sometimes glaring signs that a person may be bad news in a relationship, or simply not suited for you as a partner.

If you’ve missed (or found yourself ignoring) red flags in previous relationships and they came back to bite you in the rear…congratulations! You’re a human being!

We’ve all done it before — gone down the wrong road with the wrong person for the wrong reasons…for far too long. The real kicker is when we finally decide to go our separate ways, and when we look at the reasons why, it’s probably because of things that we actually saw far earlier on, but chose to ignore, or completely missed.

In this article, we’ll discuss some of the reasons why some people (wink wink) tend to overlook these red flags, so those “some people” can save themselves time and energy by recognizing them in the future.

Let me be clear about something — none of the points below are intended to make you feel guilt or shame if they apply to you.
