Following on from her episodes on dating, this week, Ang is taking a look at the red flags to look out for when becoming involved with a potential new partner. When you meet someone new and the sparks fly it’s sometimes easy to overlook what appear to be negative behaviours and regard them as ‘a one off’. However, these negative behaviours are often a sign of things to come. From controlling behaviours to love bombing and jealousy to communication, Ang is here to tell you her ten most common red flags, how to spot them early and, ultimately, how to make sure you find the partner you deserve. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Communication in any relationship is crucial. And it’s crucial to make sure it’s right from day one. Ang discusses the red flags to look out for regarding communication.
• When Ang was dating someone early after her divorce she realised that some of his behaviours were not normal and were causing Ang to adjust her lifestyle. She talks about the dangers of controlling behaviours and how to look out for them.
• How do you know something might be a red flag? Ang tells you the one question you can ask yourself to be certain whether your potential future partner is displaying any behaviours to be cautious of. 
• Meeting someone new is extremely exciting and can lead to emotions spiralling out of control. However, someone who can not control those emotions can begin to “Love Bomb”. Ang explains the concept of love bombing and how it’s actually a red flag to look out for.  

 

BEST MOMENTS

“If you can have red flags in your mind before you go on your date it can save you a lot of time and heartache.”

“Controlling behaviours can begin as something small and innocent. So, be aware of them before they grow out of proportion.”  

“Real love takes time to build and should evolve at a natural pace.”

ABOUT THE PODCAST

Do I Really Hate Men?

Interesting question and one I have asked myself many times. This is not an ‘I hate men’ podcast neither is it just an account of my divorce and the many awful events leading up to and during it. This podcast is a safe space to delve into what happens when relationships end, it provides guidance on how to carry on being a functioning adult and/or Single Mum when you feel broken inside. 

 

This podcast provides hope sprinkled with humour, at times its emotional at times inspiring and at times sad. I have a message to share with women around the world, come join me and your global sisters for a weekly dose of Superhero Mum inspiration and stories.

My mission -to help women and mothers globally to recover from relationship pain,  lead meaningful happy lives and inspire their children to succeed.

NOTE – I need you to know that I don’t hate men! It’s important that you know there are many great men out there. Many fantastic fathers and single fathers trying hard to do a great job. I know little about the struggles of single fathers; however, I presume they are numerous common issues we share with these amazing men who strive to do the right thing by their children.
