Not every challenge in a relationship is a dealbreaker.

Some issues are red flags: persistent patterns that harm your wellbeing and show little chance of change.

Others are growth areas: habits or skills that can improve when both partners are willing to work on them.

Red Flags often look like:

Consistent disrespect, contempt, or manipulation

Refusal to take responsibility

Behavior that makes you feel unsafe or constantly anxious


Growth Areas often look like:

Communication struggles, like interrupting or shutting down

Different conflict or emotional expression styles

Habits that improve when addressed with care and effort

The key is willingness. A partner who listens, apologizes, and shows effort is demonstrating growth potential. A partner who dismisses, mocks, or refuses to engage is showing a red flag.

Pause and ask yourself: Is this a harmful pattern, or is this something we can grow through together? The answer can help you decide whether to invest in change, or protect yourself by stepping away.
