Yellow Flags in a Relationship
Early signs of abuse may be based on attempts to control the other person. Some “Yellow Flags” that a relationship is turning abusive include:
- Always checking in on you (by text, calling, or asking your friends/family/workplace where you are)
- Not supporting or encouraging you
- Putting you down (in private or in front of others)
- Pressuring you to do things that make you uncomfortable.
- Becoming angry too quickly or unreasonably.
- Love Bombing – overwhelming you with affection and talk of the future very early in the relationship
Red Flags in a Relationship
Abuse may escalate to a “Red Flag,” which is any behavior that attempts to gain power and control in a relationship. Common red flags include:
- Intimidation (through looks or actions)
- Threatening to harm you or loved ones (including pets)
- Damaging/destroying your belongings, or home
- Accusing you of being unfaithful without any proof
- Using their financial power as a justification for their actions
- Showing extreme jealousy of your friends/family
Even one or two of these behaviors in a relationship is a red flag that abuse may be present.
