We’ve all heard of the term 'red flag' in relationships, but do we really understand the deeper meaning behind it? According to relationship expert Ward, certain phrases that may seem harmless could actually signal much bigger issues beneath the surface. These subtle signs, if not addressed early on, can shape the dynamics and future of the relationship. In this eye-opening revelation, Ward shares the one 'red flag' that could change everything in a long-term relationship. Curious to know what it is? Let’s dive in!

When we meet someone new, it’s very likely that we’ll encounter "red flag" traits.

You might be wondering, what exactly is a red flag? In a relationship, any behavior that feels off-putting and harmful to the relationship is considered a red flag. A red flag can manifest as dangerous behaviors or uncomfortable situations.

Relationship coach Louanne Ward has pointed out an important "red flag" to watch out for.

She explains that if your partner constantly says they 'won’t hurt you,' it actually indicates that their emotional intensity is less than yours. In other words, the person saying this is subconsciously trying to highlight that the other person feels more attachment and love. However, they do this unconsciously—trying to appear 'kind and considerate' by using this approach.

According to Ward, the person who says this won’t feel guilty if they hurt you later.

This is because, technically, they’ve already given you a warning. Ward concludes with the statement: 'Someone who says this will eventually hurt you.'
