Welcome to my world. An altered state of reality in which I sometimes feel as if I am the only one experiencing issues and situations that are ridiculous, funny, frustrating and thought provoking.
It is often said that men are predators who like the challenge of the hunt. Yet for all their eagerness to couple up with an attractive mate of their choosing, there are some females with qualities, quirks or traits which are red flags in any relationship who usually have men running in the opposite direction.
Because we are human, we all act a little childish sometimes, especially when things do not go the way we want. We are entitled to the occasional pout, eye roll and about 5 minutes of whining but then ‘adulting’ should kick back in and we get back to this business called life. However, not everyone who is an adult generally acts like one and therefore some people’s actions leaves us scratching our head and lamenting “what went wrong here”? Signs of chronic immaturity can be a turn off for most and even small signs can be an eye opening to the possibility of behaviour that you typical see on an episode of Dr. Phil.
Now ladies we know that there is nothing nicer than being loved on, hugged up and as the Americans say ‘beau-ed up’, especially when the nights are cold and the rain a fall. We all want to be loved and in love but that is no excuse to settle for any and any mister man!
Red flags, rumours and things that don’t add up are just a few ways we can tell that our relationships may be in trouble. Some of us like to ignore the obvious and continue to play Suzie Homemaker and make believe that all its well on the home front as we are more interested in the fairy tale of a relationship than the reality of a real one. If we don’t fix small issues they won’t stay small for very long.
