Dear Suze, I read your Red Flag Relationship blog last August. My new guy and I aren’t that bad, but sometimes I feel I’m slipping away from myself. He demeans me. Are there other “flags” or warnings?
Dear Slipping, Flags are symbols used as an international language. Green symbolizes A-OK, while Red warns extreme peril. 1) Red Flag Relationships are clearly dangerous -no room for denial or excuses -get the hell away. 2) Purple signals toxic/corrosive. You won’t die immediately, but at times, you’ll think you had. The subtle manipulation, undermining, controlling erosion of your self-worth can do long-term damage. Seek help. 3) Yellow means caution. Stop, look, listen to your gut/heart/advisors before continuing on this path. Something’s not quite right, figure it out. -SQ
