So, we’ve all seen movies like Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, and basically, every other movie that Kartik Aryan acts in and villainizes women. And while the world laughed at and men resonated with the plight of every man in an unhappy relationship, most of it was an exaggeration.

But the bits that weren’t untrue, were good pointers to keep in mind before stepping into a relationship.

Here are a few red flags that you must not ignore the next time you start dating a woman:

1. Controlling Streak

This one is an easy tell, but only if you’re paying attention. 

It starts small, by objecting to what you eat, drink, wear or even who you step out with. And then, before you know it, she has a say in everything in your life and needs to be in charge (not just bed). 

2. Makes YOU Spend All The Time

Be it dinner dates, getting coffee or even her groceries, if she is making you spend your money all the time, without showing concern to dutch a few times or take you out once in a while, chances are she is taking you and your bank balance for granted.

3. Insecure

This is for when she gets all hot and bothered every time you mention a female friend or even a co-worker. 

Unless you’re engaging with someone you have had a history with, being insecure about another person in your life is not justified. It breaches trust in a relationship and last we checked, it was the foundation to have a healthy relationship.

4. Violent Streak

We’re not talking about being playful in bed here (that too, with consent) but when she starts to feel entitled and raises her hand at you when she is pissed. 

Be it in a way of an angry slap, pushing you in a crowd or hitting you anywhere thinking that she is allowed to. It’s not cool, period. And you don’t have to put up with it.

5. Does Not Apologise For Her Mistake

A red flag that applies to everyone, not being able to accept their mistakes and apologise for it is a major concern and should not be taken lightly. 

It is important for a healthy relationship to have two partners willing to fight for each other and not against. And someone who is not willing to make amends is not going to be a partner you’ll be happy with.
