When you meet someone new and exciting, it’s tempting to dive headfirst into a relationship. But before you get too attached, it’s important to keep your eyes open for any red flags that could spell trouble down the road.

Here are key red flags to be aware of before entering into a relationship:

Navigating love and relationships often leads to a common yet misguided belief: the notion that we are responsible for “fixing” or “solving” our significant other. This idea, though rooted in care and affection, can set the stage for unhealthy dynamics and misinterpretations of what true support in a relationship looks like.

“Settling” isn’t what we’ve made it out to be.

True settling is pretending that you’re ok with something that is completely wrong for you and you’ve always known is wrong for you.

Anything beyond that isn’t settling, it is simply becoming realistic.

Think about your life currently, did it go exactly as you planned and you reached every dream and marked off everything on your bucket list?

Did you grow up in the ideal family?

If you had kids, could you guarantee that they turned out exactly as you hoped they would?

So why do we place this type of standard on significant others?

A million different factors go into one single individual. It is IMPOSSIBLE for a person to have 80-90% of your list checked off. You cant formulate a human being.

So when you end up in a relationship with someone who you are intrinsically compatible with who is at least moderately attractive and committed to your relationship, it is a win so please recognize it as such. you dont have to be with that person, but considering it “settling” because there might be better out there is the epitome of fool’s gold. Don’t fall for that trap.

Is a visit from the “in-laws”every 1.5 months for 2 weeks too much?

I NEVER agreed to it. I said one week max. But once they’re here they would ask to stay. Now suddenly 2 weeks in the normal. I said if it’s two weeks it has to be two months in between. Then it inches closer together. Now the norm has become 2 weeks every 1.5 months…and shaving off days of the in between.

They’re overbearing, take over the house, criticize and comment on how to raise our child.

And I feel like I’m being gaslit into thinking that it’s not even that often or that much because they just want to see their grandchild.

I’m going insane. I didn’t get off to a good start with them. Basically treated me like an insect until I got pregnant.

Theyre in the east coast and we’re in the Midwest.

What do I even do. Even if I had a good relationship with them I feel like it’s still A LOT of time to basically be living with them.
