10 Common Yellow Flags in a Relationship and How to Resolve
Yellow flags in the relationship are like grey areas, they are not deal breakers/excessive, or neither can they be tolerated by a partner who wants love, respect, and time in a relationship. If you have just started to date someone, you might have noticed some flags which are subjective or I can say confusing yet they are concerning because if not handled before time, they can turn into major issues or red flags!
Yellow flags in a relationship means warning signs related to your partner’s behavior, pattern, tendency, or trait which can be worth having discussions with your partner to improve your relationship.
In this blog, I have listed 10 common yellow flags in a relationship that can be seen as warning signs or explored further to improve your relationship.
1. Shares different values
If you and your partner share different values which are getting difficult to set on a ground level, you both might be building on sources for conflicts, as you both try to convince each other’s values. Therefore, learn how to talk about your values in a relationship and find the ground level to make your relationship successful.
2. Constant secret-keeping or lying
Constant lying or secret keeping is a major yellow flag that warns us about something fishy. If your partner is constantly withholding secrets or lies, you might be living in a bubble of mistrust which not only damages the relationship but also makes moving on challenging.
3. Jealous or possessive
Little jealousy is kind of romantic for some however excessive jealousy or possessiveness can be warning signs of control issues, insecurities, or other underlying mental health issues. In such situations, it’s always better to re-assess the relationship.
4. Belittling nature
If your partner contains a demeaning or belittling personality or behavior towards you, it can turn toxic in the future if not stopped on time.
