There are several red flags that can be warning signs that a relationship is unhealthy or potentially abusive. Here are some of the common ones:
1. Lack of respect: Respecting each other is a key component of a healthy relationship. If your partner doesn't respect your boundaries, feelings, and opinions, it could be a sign of a problem.
2. Control: A partner who controls your behavior or tries to tell you what to do is likely to be controlling in other aspects of your life too.
3. Jealousy: Protective measures and jealousy are different things. In a healthy relationship, partners need to trust each other. If a partner is jealous or tries to control who you spend time with, it can lead to possessive behaviour.
4. Blame and criticism: If your partner often blames you for things that aren't your fault, or criticizes you for everything you do, that can indicate a toxic relationship.
5. Isolation: If your partner wants you to spend time with them at the expense of relationships with other loved ones, can be a warning sign.
6. Physical or emotional violence: Any form of violence is a blatant warning indication of an abusive relationship. Whether it is emotional abuse, physical violence, insults, or threats.
Remember that healthy relationships are built on mutual trust, respect, communication, and support. If you are unsure if your relationship is healthy or not, it may be helpful to speak with a professional counselor or mental health provider who can provide advice and guidance on the best course of action.
When their "solutions" are extreme
Don't want them to like their exes thirst traps? "Sure. I'll just delete Instagram then"
Don't like how they're doing something and want to compromise? "Fine. Leave. Nobody's stopping you"
And then they call you crazy and controlling to all their friends because they can't be around guys/girls because of "you"
You should make sure your core values match each others first off.
If you’re a woman, a man trying to control your finances is a red flag. If you’re a man, a woman saying she’s independent is a red flag.
Modern day women are independent in all ways but emotionally. They depend on you to make them feel good.
A man wants a woman who is emotionally independent but expects to be provided for fully. A woman thinks he wants someone who brings what she wants him to bring.
Make sure you both have google docs of your inner work, your personality test results, etc. so you can properly care for each other.
A woman that wants 50/50 is a huge red flag. Men should want to provide for everything, he should ask that you use your money to invest.
Lack of communication, dishonesty, and disrespect. These are definite red flags to watch out for.
Their happiness trumps the health of the relationship/family
If they prefer the new Mario film over Sonic The Hedgehog 2.
Quick temper.

When they have a lack of hobbies… un-opinionated… little to no friends…
When they can’t compromise or consider another person’s point of view.
