Little behaviors in relationships that may seem trivial can later be recognized as red flags. Many people shared experiences where minor incidents, such as dishonesty during dates, manipulation regarding safe sex, and defensive reactions during arguments seemed insignificant initially but later revealed deeper issues like lying and gaslighting. These incidents highlight how crucial it is to be attentive to seemingly small behaviors that can escalate into larger problems in intimate relationships.
"Lied on our first date. It was such a small thing. I had caught him calling me the wrong name... Turns out, he's actually a massive liar, manipulator, and gaslighter."
"Condoms kept coming off during sex... I had to take three SOS pills because his condom kept coming off - until I finally snapped at him to buy smaller-sized condoms."
"He became wildly defensive during our first minor argument. He turned it around on me, and I ended up apologizing... I sat there dumbfounded... She told me I was being gaslit."
