@womanx you've posted in the small pets section. You might get better replies in relationships!

KylieCharlene · 12/02/2022 11:56

You've posted in 'Small pets'.

In a serious note what kind of red flags are we talking ?

Like does he put an empty milk container back in the fridge kind of red flag or is he disappearing for three days and coming back to see you with hickey's, no money left in his bank account a black eye and wearing a woman's thong kind of red flag ?

Hey @womanx I think signs to watch out for are that you're modifying your behaviour to avoid a reaction from him. Do you feel that you have to be ''careful'' to avoid that? Do you have to defend yourself quite often when you haven't done anything wrong but he has interpreted it as a wrongdoing?

Does he tell you what you think? Does he tell you what the ''real'' motivations of your actions were even when you know that they weren't and you end up in the dock having to argue with him because he apparently knows better than you do why you did what you did or said what you said?

There are milliions more obvious red flags but those are some of the covert ones.

If you describe what sort of things he's done then we might be able to help, but if you're having doubts better to break off the engagement.

Maybe he has a micro penis?

UserBot9to5 · 12/02/2022 12:01

Ah ladz. Stoppppp.

She's 24 and trying to decide whether or not she's going crazy or not.

There are a few good gags to be had from having posted in the small pets section but we've had them now.

Hoppinggreen · 12/02/2022 12:03

Do these red flags involve small pets?
If so LTB immediately, if not ask for this to be moved to Relationships

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 12/02/2022 12:20

Hello @womanx - we're going to move your thread over to our Relationships board now.

You need to give us more info if we’re to guess as to whether he’s a rat or a hamster. 🐀 ❌ 🐹 ✔️
