Warning Signs in a Relationship that No One Sees

A red flag in a relationship is getting mixed messages or not being sure where you stand. Be honest and pay attention to what you're not getting.

You don't make eye contact

If you don't look at your partner, it could mean that something is wrong. Rebuild closeness by staring into each other's eyes for a few minutes a few times a week.
