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.
In a relationship, watch out for conversations that only go one way. Your partner should ask questions and show interest. If not, that's a warning sign.
"Calls for attention," or "bids of invitation," can be accepted or turned down. When they do, some couples show love and support, while others pull away.
Disagreements are normal and necessary for relationships to be healthy. Trying to avoid conflict can make people angry
"Strong relationships make you feel better, not worse. If you can't be yourself, it's a sign that you need to work on making a safe space."
Don't guess what your partner is doing or thinking. For a relationship to be strong, you need to see the other person as they really are, not as you wish they were.
If you're not sure about your partner, you should say so. Bringing them up can either make the relationship stronger or show where it's falling apart.
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.
In relationships, both people should be willing to give and take. It's a red flag if you always try to make everyone happy.
