5 Painful Relationship Red Flags You Need to Face
"Red flag #1 is the sunk cost fallacy - 'Well, I spent four years making it this far. I can't give up now.' Red flag #2 is if you have to censor yourself around your partner, deleting a portion of your personality. Red flag #3, there's more anxiety in the relationship than there is peace. #4, if you find yourself continuously justifying their bad behavior. And #5, your friends hate them - they have no horse in this race."
Description
This quote reveals five warning signs that many people ignore in bad relationships. The sunk cost fallacy keeps you trapped because you've already invested time, but that's like staying in a broken car because you paid for it. Censoring yourself means you can't be authentic with the person who should love the real you. More anxiety than peace means the relationship is draining your mental health. Constantly defending your partner's bad behavior to others shows you know something's wrong but won't admit it. And when your friends dislike your partner, listen to them - they see things you can't because they're not blinded by emotions.
