[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether the woman has friends.  Not people they work with friends, but long-term, life-long friends.  All of the crazy bitches that I have ever known have no long-term friends.  Because they are crazy and alienate people.

My mother included.[/quote]

Agreed....and usually the woman is jealous of the friends the man has that probably go back a very long time. [/quote]

Seriously, folks, I have no idea where do you get these ideas :shock: [/quote]

Because it can indicate a serious problem and is more common than you seem to believe (or want to believe).

Take BPDs for instance. One of the hallmarks of someone with long term BPD is the failure to maintain long-term relationships. Or the alienation of relationships that have survived longer-term.

Personally, I don't like the term "red flag". It suggests finality on the basis of an indicator. Sure, anomalous behavior should attract attention, but shouldn't be the conclusion.

For example, the lack of friends or alienation of relationships. Could be BPD. Could also be a person who isn't a "loner" but is more judicious in extending friendships. It could also be the result of that person having emerged from an abusive past. One of the principal ways abuse is continued is through isolating a person. Taking them out of the "family and friend" zone so they are entirely dependent upon the abuser. [/quote]
