People Are Sharing The Red Flags That We Still Seem To Romanticize For Some Reason, And Yeah, Maybe We Should Stop That

We all have a short list of characteristics we find sweet and swoonworthy, but what about the ones that give us all the ick? Sometimes, they can be mistaken for good things when they're actually the complete opposite. Reddit user Affectionate_Sand190 recently asked, "What's a red flag that people still weirdly romanticize?" Here's what people had to say: 1."Having someone who is completely obsessed with you." —u/Civil-Shame-2399 2."Fixing someone. You're not their therapist, babe." —u/TinyAndPetite- 3."Fighting all the time. No, it doesn't mean that your relationship is 'passionate,' it means that you're probably incompatible and shouldn't be together." —u/Select_Beginning_656 4."I used to love the 'asshole to everyone except you' trope until he started being an asshole to my friends. Rose-colored glasses when you realize that he's just an asshole — plain and simple. Some tropes are meant to stay fictional." —u/Goldenwolf_ 5."Hustle culture." —u/chefboyarde30 Related: 27 Horrifying Deaths People Can Never, Ever, Ever, Ever Forget Because They Were That Bad 6."When someone constantly posts about their partner and people call it 'romantic.' It's not. It's performative. Real love doesn't need a PR campaign." —u/South_Cupcake2315 7."Jealousy. Being jealous doesn't mean you love me so much; it means you don't trust me." —u/SmittenKitten0303 8."Codependence and complete obsession. People need lives outside of their partners." —u/muttgrowls 9."The idea that playing games or being hard to get will make their crush interested or want them more." —u/CosmicMind007 Related: My Innocence Has Been Destroyed After Learning These Terrible, Disturbing, And Creepy Things 10."Not being confrontational. Needless confrontation is bad, but sometimes you do need to confront someone." —u/Open_Today_6267 11."Pressuring someone to hurry up and put a ring on it." —u/Dark--princess420 12."Entirely subsuming your life into your partner's. It's healthy to have a portion of your life to yourself. Couples don't need to and shouldn't spend every waking moment together." —u/el_cid_viscoso 13."The ideology that being controlling or possessive over your partner means you love them." —u/Possible-Produce-373 14."Love bombing." —u/Kaapstad2018 15."When someone says that they want a relationship like Harley Quinn and the Joker. Do they actually know the nature of their relationship?" —u/Alixxet 16."Sacrificing your professional or personal life to pursue someone." —u/lamchopxl71 17."Having an affair. They seem so fun and passionate in movies." —u/Ninac4116 18."Not taking no for an answer." —u/Abject-Raspberry5875 19."Leaving a relationship for you. Any reasonable person should see that the same thing might happen to you." —u/Kooky-Maintenance513 What's a red flag that people need to stop romanticizing? Share your thoughts in the comments!
