Firstly, anyone that is giving you mixed signals or leaving you with the dreaded, "What are we?" question is immediately getting put into the bin. We're loving and caring about ourselves before anyone else this year. We deserve someone who knows what they want, and not just says it but shows it too! Zero patience for these time wasters, make sure you're getting treated like the priority that you are.
Another huge red flag is your partner not giving you reassurance if you need it! Sometimes we all get a bit insecure, and that's totally okay! But your partner should cater towards that and make you feel appreciated and like you're the only one in their interests. If they can't do that, they're probably for the streets. Sorry. Tough pill to swallow, I know.
This follows into your partner not taking you out, or posting you on social media, or introducing you to the people in their life. Your partner should feel so proud to be with you and should show you off. We are not accepting the "Ohhh, but they don't really post on social media." this year! If they're in a relationship, they do now! Post your lover people! And without them having to ask you please.
One more, and arguably the most important red flag: your ex. Please stop going back to them. Leave them in 2023. I'm begging you. Pick yourself up off the floor, and just move on. I don't know who they are, but they're probably not worth it. Stop waiting on someone who you have literally broken up with to come back, when you may miss the perfect person walking right into your life.
Lots of (healthy) love only in 2024.
