Blinded by Love: Why We Ignore Red Flags
We’ve all been there—stuck in a relationship where red flags are hard to ignore, yet we find ways to dismiss them. We tell ourselves things will change, that it’s just a rough patch. But while we’re busy justifying, friends and family can see the reality far more clearly.
Why are we often the last to recognize toxic patterns or to accept when a relationship has reached its limit? What keeps us holding on, even as the red flags pile up? In this episode, we dive into the psychology of ignoring red flags, exploring how much of this blindness is rooted in self-preservation versus genuine love.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why leaving a relationship is sometimes harder when there hasn’t been a single, defining break.
- How friends and family can manage the challenge of seeing red flags and wanting to help, while respecting their loved one’s choices.
- How to respond when people you trust share their concerns about your partner.
This episode is all about tuning into emotional awareness, relationship patterns, and the delicate balance between love and self-preservation.
