Therapist shares 5 relationship red flags most people ignore during the honeymoon stage: 'Just summed up my last 2 relationships'
A therapist on TikTok is sharing some common red flags people ignore during the so-called “honeymoon stage,” which has led many people to reevaluate their relationships.
According to @therapyjeff, there are five relationship red flags every “honeymooner” should look out for: Overly controlling behavior, jealousy and possessiveness, lack of boundaries, conflict avoidance and over-dependency.
While many of these can be at first seem like loving behavior, they are all toxic in their own way and can create deep issues in a relationship down the line.
Since posting the clip, many people have taken the advice to heart. In fact, quite a few have been sharing failed relationship experiences of their own.
“I IGNORED ALL THESE,” one user confessed. “Now I’m 8.5 years into a relationship & getting divorced.”
“All five and I married him,” said someone else. “I wish I never had.”
“Just summed up my last two relationships,” added another person, who said they’re now working on issues to prevent themselves from repeating the same mistakes.
The list also led to a different realization for some people.
“I think maybe I’m the one with the red flags,” one person confessed. “I really struggle with having an anxious attachment style.”
“u described me damn,” added someone else.
This is far from the only time Jeff’s videos have connected strongly with viewers. Recently, the therapist posted a clip called “8 questions to ask yourself if you can’t let go of your ex.”
“Jeff it’s getting a little personal now,” one person confessed after watching the video.
“I can always count on you to pop up on my fyi and call me out on my bs,” added someone else. “Thank you for that bestie.”
