[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Red and orange flags are always there for you to see if you are a legal voting age adult, average intelligence, high school graduate ... unless you are choosing to ignore or pretend those flags aren't there because they are so beautiful, so handsome, so tall, so wealthy, so intelligent, so sexy, so funny, so successful, or you feel you aren't pretty, handsome, tall, successful, educated, wealthy, young, or in any other way not desirable enough and must settle.

My mother was emotionally distant and I didn’t connect the dots until I was about 30. Shortly after I realized I had chosen a partner who was like my mother. Jesus Christ.

OP, I think the best way to safeguard against a horrible partner is to work on yourself. Lots of therapy. Know who you are and what you want. Know your boundaries. Have good friends. Have your house and your awesome career all on your own. You won’t ignore the orange and red flags if you’ve invested the time in yourself first. [/quote]
