Red Flags in Intentional Friendships

Would you recognize a relationship red flag if it smacked you in the face? Red flags are the character issues or behaviors that are incompatible with who you are - these are dealbreakers that you learn about someone, which reveal that you would not be able to have a healthy relationship with them. It is important to discuss red flags during the intentional friendship phase; before you commit to a more serious relationship. Under the right circumstances, red flags can be turned green.  

Red flags to look for in a relationship:  

• Compulsive lying 
• Major debt due to poor spending and saving habits 
• Neediness, codependent issues, insecurities 
• Can't keep a job 
• Living with parents due to poor finances 
• Anger issues or violent temper 
• Addiction of any kind 
• Not respecting boundaries
