    @@bacugan11 Yellow, Red, and Black flags (card) are sports analogies on how serious the infraction is to a relationship. Yellow - damages relationship... it can work, but both have to work harder for it. too many can still cost the game/relationship Red - Serious infraction. While a few can be explained, the ones Courtney mentions cannot be so easily dismissed. While you can still "win" the game, ie marriage, odds are it'll end in Divorce or untimely death. 2 get you ejected. Black - Walk. Now. Do not look back. Game forfited. You will end up dead, or lose your sanity/dignity. Nothing good will come from this relationshit outside of a few minutes/hours of fun... then run, run as fast as you can. Compulsive Liar, Klepto, murderer, are all Black Flags for me. (Not all inclusive) Despite what Courtney says, Crazy is a black flag for me, and those that blatantly brag about it, I don't even need to date to find out. If you're just looking for a good time, fine, but then run, run your ass off.

She calls herself "crazy" (when she is proud of doing certain obsessive or possessive behaviours) 5. Talking over you or interrupting you 6.

When she acts differently towards you when she is in crowds. When her parents are constantly fighting or insulting eachother or others. When she is almost always pinned to the phone. When she orders you around and tries to control your life. When she refuses to split bills or does any kind of work at the house. God im old, everything is a red flag now, and life is depressing.

    Now I know better why my marriage broke and couldn't have lasted. You are almost 100% describing my ex-wive. The only differences: She considered herself normal and me crazy, and she wouldn't talk over me, but she would reject my arguments in any discussion, get angry and shut down. Which goes in line with "I won't tell you what I want, you should know". Both of us had their issues. I saw mine, promised to work on them and often failed with this. But she didn't see hers. Too bad I can't leave her behind, we have kids...

    Still, there will come a day and you should slowly prepare for it. Daydream about it. Plan it carefully and find joy in it. Squirrel away money and valuables. Figure out what you are willing to leave behind and take with you. Most important, buy spy cameras and buy a watch that audio records conversations. These things saved my butt. You need to start stacking the divorce evidence in your favor now. Also, take notes of what happens in a journal. One other thing, through false claims by your soon to be ex, the court will likely send you to anger management counseling. Go to anger management counseling long before the divorce so she can't play that card on you. Talk to divorced men and find out what happened to them so you can be ready. Do all this because she is getting ready to do the same to you. And watch out for the traps and set-ups she is laying down for you to fail. They all do it. Trust me.

    I was married to someone with all of these well defined red flags for 15 years. It's not a bad relationship, it's an exercise in not taking your own life on a daily basis because you feel like you couldn't bear to live without your kids, and that's the knife they quietly slide into you and twist, and no one else is aware that this is how the relationship operates, or can figure out why you're chronically depressed and anxious. I also know other men who are still in relationships with vvomen who tick all of these boxes. It's pure desperation.

    I feel for you brother. I was also married for 15 years and it was soul crushing. My ex-wife had a very abusive childhood and suffered from so much trauma she never healed from. 10 years in, she was finally diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, and things marginally improved for a time. Only reason I stayed for so long was I couldn't bear to be without my kids, and even more so couldn't fathom leaving them with her and not being around to help shield them from her crazy making behavior. Been divorced for 12 years now, kids are grown and doing well and I see them regularly, They are really the only relationships I have at this stage in my life. I stopped dating a few years ago, as I refuse to put myself through that kind of anguish again, and it seems the dating pool is filled with self-absorbed women with loads of undealt with trauma.

    If she's constantly posting on social media that she doesn't care what people think about her. Not only does this indicate that she's frequently being told by others that her behavior is bad, it also indicates that she doesn't understand irony. If you're communicating anything about yourself via social media, then yes, you care about what others think about you.

When I take a step back I realize that most of this behavior was driven by insecurities she has. I know it’s not my job to fix her, but I wish I would have called her out in a kind, but teasing type way. She would talk about toxic men. I feel like the word toxic is overused.

She's destroyed every relationship she has to her actual family. She surrounds herself with human trash and people who exploit her. The one constant she's done throughout her entire life is create nothing but issues for those around her. My favorite quote from her is, "I can't be taught, because I refuse to learn."

    I just got out of a 3+ year relationship with a woman who portrayed all of these except #5. She always wanted her way. If I ever questioned what SHE wanted to do at any time, she’d erupt into full out crying screaming, telling me I’m a piece of sh*t a**hole, and much worse. I let that happen though, I had seen past her red flags for years. I wanted to fix her/grow with her long term but she only got worse. Every fight was my fault. even when she did something to upset me, I’d call her out for it, and then SHE’D get mad at ME because she didn’t know how to take accountability for her actions. Literally EVER. I’d have to pry an apology out of her (if one ever came out). It got to a point where I never told her how I felt in our relationship, every fight I kept quiet and apologized to her because I didn’t want to deal with more fighting/bullsh*t. It got to a point where I felt I was walking on eggshells just to talk to her. But again, I WAS part of the problem. I had a hard time providing for her, which is what she clearly wanted/needed in a man. My response was to work my ass off and make more money, to get us out of this situation. In return, I showed her close to no attention for months, If not years. I showed the attention I could, but again, I worked 15 hour days, 2 jobs, with a 3rd side hustle on the weekends/in between jobs just to crack maybe 2k a month. I struggled with finding decent paying job for a long time, and the two I had still payed minimal. We got worse because of these problems on both ends of the relationship. I relate to this video because these red flags came out within the first 6 months of dating, and I completely disregarded them, and she portrayed ALL of those listed above (almost). She was extremely immature, and never took accountability for any of her actions. To anyone reading this, let me save u years of time, and If you discover these red flags, whatever you do, DON’T avoid them. Don’t let your boundaries down for a woman. Long term, it will absolutely damage you as a man, humiliate you, and turn you into the worst version of yourself. I promise you. I loved this girl to death, even though she completely broke me inside. She did change me in many ways for the better, but the red flags far outweigh the green. Bottom line, men out there. If a woman portrays these red flags, confront them about it, and if they can’t own up to it/offer to work on it, you HAVE to walk away. Do not be afraid to walk away. Do not stay and let her eventually walk all over you, which will happen if you don’t deal with these red flags early. Just decided to rant here, haven’t spoke to almost anyone about my breakup, nor have ever been able to tell my ex about how I really feel without her erupting then me apologizing for how I feel. Thanks to anyone who read this, and I hope you can understand what the long term consequences of avoiding these red flags really can do to you as a man. Stay safe out here ❤

    I once had a girl brag to me about how great she was about cutting people out of her life without caring at all, guess what happened to me, lol. Other notable red flags I've experienced include "I'm not friends with girls they're drama" -if they cannot make friends with their own gender, run. THEY are the drama. Being hot and cold, always take indecision/confusion as a no for your own sake. "I never apologize" is another big one. Everyone makes mistakes, but if you encounter a girl who is not willing to own up and recognize her mistakes, and properly apologize for them, run. Gaslighting and emotional abuse are also huge red flags that are unfortunately pretty common in women. Women who shame men for having emotions or try to challenge your manliness always show huge red flags. Gaslighting such as calling you crazy when calling out poor behavior or trying to humiliate you in public are huge red flags. Women tend to abuse more socially and emotionally than physically so it is important to recognize these signs early as red flags, or they'll come back to bite you. I've found that people usually will show you exactly who they are, we tend to just not want to see it when they are the opposite gender.

My exp is that they hang out with guys a lot since guys are easy to make friends with any girl that looks good enough, so to say, ignoring her flaws, etc. These girls sometimes have rather loose commitment abilities. Like, they have a boyfriend but are already on the lookout for a new one, etc. constantly trying to upgrade, stuff like that.

I let her string me along for awhile and eventually I realised I wasn't healing and finally cut her off. I expected her to leave me alone but she started hanging out with my friends(which she didn't do even when we were together) all in an effort to get back in my life. She broke up and cut off all her exes so I wonder what made me different. She also has a hard time making friends with other girls.

    My ex-wife buried all these things until we were married for a couple of years and then it all started surfacing slowly after our first child. It didn’t truly surface until our second child and then she figured out that it wasn’t about her all the time. It was real work and she didn’t like it. That higher standards for others was definitely there and the birthday needing to be for 1-2 weeks surfaced. Then it was vacations with her girlfriends and not family several times a year and her slow roll into 3rd wave feminism. All her friends had shit marriages while ours was stable. Rather, I was stable. I come from a family that values the sanctity of marriage in good and bad, so I stuck with it even though she changed drastically. I realized that with hindsight that her flags were buried when she was around me until it became too hard for her to disguise. If she had even one of them when we were dating, it would have been done immediately and I’m sure she knew that. I know men and women can sustain a certain amount of hiding themselves until they just can’t endure it. I would measure a woman, now that I’m almost 50, by the company they keep and for how long. Also, I would look at their family. I ignored that her mother was on her third marriage. When you grow up with three dads, then you might never learn that a husband is something you should fight to keep. Her father was an alcoholic, so how could she trust another man if her father was untrustworthy. When I was in my 20s I didn’t really understand how detrimental that could be to a woman’s mental health and expectation of men. It makes perfect sense now that we are divorced. Dedication, respect, unwavering trust, and loyalty mean nothing to someone that has never seen that growing up. She was not the right person although she played the part until life got hard. Red flags were there. I just needed to know how to get them to show. Thank you for helping men find them and make the right choices.

After 22 years we divorced - if I knew more in begining... But she was suppresing it many years and only after many years when she felt stronger on her feet she "nicely" developed narcism too.

I have also found that once the first red flag is shown, it is inevitable that all of the rest come in short order. What I dig about your content is that nearly every vid you posts reaffirms that I am already doing, practicing and living what you say - before even watching them. Good to know I am on the right path as a man.

    I feel like point five of interrupting/finishing sentences is a bit misleading. There's no other way of gauging the pace of the prospective conversations and how else are you supposed to know how many of the same wavelengths you're catching with another person? Talking is a two-way street regardless of context.

I have a habit of finishing people's sentences sometimes.

    This is fantastic information Courtney, especially coming from a woman. One thing that I would love to see addressed more from therapists and other experts like you who talk about relationship issues, red flags and personality disorders on KZread is the distinction on inappropriate behavior at the beginning of a relationship vs in a committed relationship (common-law or married). I have an Ex who within 7 days of our first date she told me she was in love with me. 9 days after we met she introduced me to her Special Needs kids, who were almost 18 and had seen many guys come and go. Within a month she was pushing me to move in. I cut her a LOT of slack because of the situations she was dealing with. The romance, passion and chemistry between us was off the charts. Many of her behaviors were aggressively manipulative and controlling because I was playing the savior and chose to go down the rabbit hole with her. That's on me. But my point is some of her behaviors and expectations would be normal if they were at an appropriate stage in the relationship, not within a few weeks or a month! As I said I would love you to do videos on how to DEVELOP a healthy, conscious, balanced relationship, understanding that everyone is different and the pace isn't written in stone. I think for education, some sort of guidelines could be very useful though!!

    Amazing content! Your insight is helping me navigate the dating world. I think another red flag is if she says to you: “if you want to see me again, we will go here instead.” Or, “if you want to see me again, you have to do this.” The ultimatums are a huge red flag, expressing narcissistic qualities. I’ve had this happen to me before. I took out a girl to dinner (third date) and she didn’t like the food at all. She made a big deal about the restaurant and told me that the food tasted like sand. Right there, I knew it was time to cut ties. Once the date was over, she said to me: “if you want to see me again, I’ll be picking the restaurant next time.” I internalized it for a bit, until I told her that I was done. No one should be disrespected when you’re putting your best foot forward, especially when it is getting to know someone.

    Omg this hits close to home. I'm a divorced 47 year old guy. Since 2017 I've had 5 girlfriends, that I all met on dating sites, 4 out of 5 was Tinder and the 5th Bumble. All of them were so SOOO toxic yet seemed great in the beginning. I relate to EVERY point you made. Thank you for making this content because there's millions it seems, of videos warning women about toxic guys in the dating scene and being a man I can admit there's a lot of douchebags, but there's a lot of us quality men too. My question is: if a woman isn't directly talking in general terms negatively about men per se, but, she very overemphasizes how great and awesome women are, is that basically the same thing as misandrist speech and attitudes? A woman I was dating earlier in the spring who I'm not with anymore (because of all the red flags) on our first date when we were hanging out at her house and talking about music and watching KZread on her big screen TV kept going to these ' "I am woman, hear me roar" songs and clips, one in particular was by a Mongolian instrumental band called the Hu with guest singer Lizzie Hale from Halestorm called "A Woman's Song" I am not misogynist in the slightest but I actually found the song kinda offensive because the lyrics were stating that only women have admirable traits. But moreso my ex girlfriend's reaction to it, she was singing along and her commentary was like "yeah in Mongolia women are in charge and never disrespected" I nicely made the reply and questioned "well shouldn't it also be not cool to disrespect a man?" She just shrugged that off and I remember ar the time getting the clear feeling she had contempt for men
