People Explain Which Red Flags They Can't See Past In A Partner

These red flags are mainly representative of how people treat others.

Meaness

"Cruelty. People can hide it pretty well sometimes but when you see it, it’s best to dip."

– anon

"Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between a human being dumb or being cruel."

– ERSTF

Dramatics

"Victim complex and being rude to people."

– WouldUKindlyDMBoobs

"Just ended a friendship I’ve had with someone since kindergarten due to this."

"She was always the hero or the victim (ya know, always the martyr), and it was always about her. Sad that it ended after so long but I couldn’t take it anymore, and I hated feeling like a hypocrite, calling myself her friend while growing to resent her more and more each day."

The One-Upper

"Oooh victim complex is a good one."

"Had a girlfriend once where literally no matter what you spoke of or what anybody else spoke of. She had a dozen stories about how her life is far worse than yours and would only talk about her medical issues, it would get brought up legit over 50 times in a day. It was always worse near other people too."

"Girl, I get it, you have had a less than ideal life. But making your entire Personality based around it is insufferable. Shut up and let other people speak for once."

You can never trust these kinds of people in relationships. If you spot this red flag, run the other way.

Liars

"Dishonesty."

– pretty_monotonous

"Of course, because then the green flags may all be false."

Taking Daddy's Money

"Was dating a girl and all of the sudden she had way more spending money than what she was earning. I ultimately found out that her dad sent her a check for her college tuition at the private university she was enrolled at, but she dropped several of the classes for ones at the local community college she could get transfer credit for at a fraction of the cost."

"Yeah, embezzling from your dad is not a good sign in a long term partner or spouse."

– tacknosaddle

Schemer

"Malicious Manipulation of any form."

– PsychologicalRing959

These behaviors are unacceptable and can be problematic for the relationship.

"What they say about people behind their back."

– Street_Piece8194

Tossin' Trash

"Littering. Like blatantly. Throwing trash out of a car window, for example. It's my pet peeve. Of course, I'd point it out to them first and see if they stopped doing it, but it would still be a huge red flag to me."

– Hippycowgirl411

Anger Issues

"Extreme outburst of anger."

– itzrx

"Too many people let this go because they saw their parents do it."

– DeepInternet

Excuse For Rage

"Relationship with anger for me. Some people have conditions where they might have a brief verbal outburst they can’t control at first. But if they can get it under control and apologize, then they aren’t committed to their feelings of anger."

"But if they’re the kind of person who gets angry, knowing they’re wrong, but keep pushing because they’re angry and stubborn. The kind of person who gets angry and says 'my emotions are valid' and uses it to justify their actions. The kind of person who decides to hold onto every 'wrong' in a relationship to use in the next argument. Those are commitments to excusing their anger."

– ClassicAF23

The Center Of The Universe

"Over the top solipsism. That 'I don't perceive it that way, so it cannot be true' mentality."

– UnoriginalUse

As someone mentioned above, dishonesty is THE major red flag for me.

If a person can't be honest with me about the most basic things, what makes them think they have my trust down the line?

Like, what are they hiding? No, thanks to playing reindeer games.
