A major red flag for a doomed relationship is when your beau is too close to their ex. Yes, they're allowed to be cordial and wish each other happiness on holidays. Don't

be that crazy girlfriend. But if you find the ex sneaking into many of your plans, parties and conversations, it may mean your significant other is hung up on them. No matter

how close they were before you guys started dating, things have changed and boundaries need to be made. If he won't adjust, the relationship may be over before you know

it.

If they are unwilling to devote time to you, you should cut the relationship before you get too attached. Psychologists say that people who won't be flexible or open in their

schedules for their significant others, probably aren't prioritizing the relationship. Relationships blossom through experience, through fights and through agreements. Not through a two hour slot on a Friday evening.

If they won't compromise with you, you will be stuck in a dead-end, stubborn relationship. If it's their turn to cook diner, they should cook dinner. If you cleaned the

bathroom the past 10 times, they should do their part to help out next time. If compromise around work and labor isn't a standard, your relationship probably won't be able

to survive the reality of adulthood. 

This should be fairly obvious- if they ignore you, they aren't prioritizing you. It doesn't take that many math skills to add those two together and understand that they don't

deserve you. Say something if you are on your weekly dinner date and they keep checking their phone. Just because the chase is over doesn't mean they can stop putting

in effort. Don't let them get so comfortable, and most importantly, don't let them take you for granted. 

Name-calling is a huge problem, according to psychologists. There's a line to be drawn between playful teasing, and consistent insulting. If you and your partner find each other often rubbing against

each other (in the wrong way), there might mean that there's a lack of respect on both ends. Stick to babe and sweetheart, if it gets negative, back out.
