the three biggest relationship red flags that no one talks about tell you the first one the biggest one and that is if they tell you that you are everything you complete me I've been looking for you my entire life where have you been all this time there's no one like you you're so special I'm not even talking about someone who's deliberately love bombing in order to manipulate you I'm talking about someone who actually believes it it's a huge red flag because what it means is is that they are looking for another human being to do for them that which only God can do for us and you are not God in anyone's life and you cannot fill a god-sized hole in their heart you can be a partner you can be a companion you can be joined together to accomplish something beautiful together but not to be their source of meaning and purpose in life no human being can do that number two how they speak about their ex if they've had significant romantic relationships in the past if they bash that person if they say that person was crazy nobody should speak disrespectfully about anybody but particularly someone you had an intimate relationship with even if it was a painful relationship even if it was an abusive relationship where they were severely mistreated they should speak about it with empathy they should be sad about it but it shouldn't be something they speak about with scorn with contempt like they're speaking about an enemy like they're speaking about somebody who they hate because if that's the way they can speak about someone they once loved please don't think that you're an exception to that rule the love will turn to hate also in this relationship and number three the third red flag in relationships that they don't talk about and this may surprise you it's they're not on a mission from God what I mean by that is if you ask them what's the purpose of your life why are you here and they don't have an answer that energizes them that excites them they can't tell you that they have a vision they have something that they're trying to achieve in life or that life itself has some goal then what you're actually talking about is somebody who's floating through life and they're going to use their Intimate Relationships to distract themselves from the existential void that is left by not having a strong sense of purpose stay away from people who don't feel that they have a god-given purpose
