We all know about red flags. But what about yellow flags?  They\u2019re signs that something could be fishy, but could also just be a wrong place at the wrong time type of situation. A yellow flags are warnings, but not dealbreakers in and of themselves. They require a look at the big picture to figure out if they\u2019re really a reason for alarm, but they should be looked at. These are some of the most common ones that might warrant a conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yellow Flags<\/b>  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. They were previously married. (Again, not a complete dealbreaker, but how you found out also matters. Did they tell you or did find out over social media?) <\/span><\/li>
  2. They\u2019ve never been in a committed relationship. (Again, maybe okay, but this is probably something you should explore a bit before you commit.) <\/span><\/li>
  3. They\u2019re unemployed. (Have they always been unemployed? Are they truly in between jobs, are they relying on family money, or are they a little short on ambition?) <\/span><\/li>
  4. They\u2019ve been fired…a few times. (This one probably requires a conversation. Is it an attitude thing? A money laundering thing? A sexual harassment thing?) <\/span><\/li>
  5. They don\u2019t have close friends. (Maybe fine! Maybe weird.) <\/span><\/li>
  6. They have way too many friends. (How are can they be close to this many people?) <\/span><\/li>
  7. They come home at all hours of the night. (Maybe it\u2019s their work schedule!) <\/span><\/li>
  8. They take forever to respond to texts. (Could be fine, but communication is key in any relationship. So where are they all the time?) <\/span><\/li>
  9. They don\u2019t always respond to your texts, period. (Could be fine, could be something to bring up.) <\/span><\/li>
  10. They don\u2019t remember what you tell them. (Rude, and potentially concerning.) <\/span><\/li>
  11. They forget plans you\u2019ve made. (Prioritizing is important, but also maybe not a total dealbreaker.) <\/span><\/li>
  12. You know nothing about their family. (What\u2019s going on there?) <\/span><\/li>
  13. They say unsavory things about their ex(es). (Can\u2019t trust it, but maybe you can?) <\/span><\/li>
  14. They don\u2019t celebrate you. (Gifts aren\u2019t everything, but if they don\u2019t acknowledge your birthday, get you a card, buy you flowers sometimes…question that.) <\/span><\/li>
  15. You bicker a lot. (Maybe it ignites passion in each other, but maybe it\u2019s a sign of something unhealthy.) <\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Yellow flags may look slightly different for everyone, but these are just a handful of examples that really might make you stop and consider what\u2019s going on between you and your partner. These are simply examples of a few things that are bothersome — if your relationship gives you pause over more than a few of these, it may be time to take a step back or have an honest conversation and make a choice that will ultimately be best for you. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
