Relationship Red Flags That Should Not Be Ignored

Setting Healthy Boundaries

My girlfriend was always accusing me of cheating. I slept in too late and didn’t send a good morning text to her at the very minute she had to leave for work, and apparently, that meant that I was guilty. Spent too much time with my parents? Definitely cheating.

Talking to a life-long female friend whose husband plays video games with me on the weekends? “You’re cheating.” Eventually, I couldn’t take it anymore and I had to dump her—but my nightmare was just beginning. She followed me everywhere and made me get a restraining order.

My therapist taught me how to set boundaries and she said what I did was healthy because: “When somebody is accusing you so much, you almost start to believe you are doing something terribly wrong.” Story credit: Reddit / (Luthos_)
