Lessons from therapy ⬇️
Patient: Ugh, I'm not good at seeing red flags early on!
Me: No—you’re *great* at seeing red flags in the beginning. The problem is you stay because you hope the other person will change.

🧵
2/ Most of us see any questionable issues pretty soon after meeting a potential partner but we ignore the red flags because we also see some green flags and hope that the red flags will go away.
3/ It’s possible they will, but only if they’re addressed early and openly.
And if the red flags persist even after bringing them up, please know that nothing you do will change those red flags into green ones.
Trust those early instincts & move on.
