@josephpetito4: What are the red flags and unhinged things you noticed on the first few dates with someone that made you leave? #domesticviolenceawareness #redflags #GabbyPetito #TogetherWeCan
Driving dangerously while upset and you are in the vehicle. This was one small red flag I saw while first dating. Seems small, maybe situational, I want every woman to know it always escalates.

Isolation from other friends or family is the HUGEST RED FLAG 🚩

Sleep deprivation. They always have a reason to wake you up and keep you from getting sleep, especially before major events in your life that don’t involve them. My ex did this constantly. I didn’t know it was considered abuse until I got out

I’m a death investigator… when someone tells you what they will do to you, you MUST believe them. Predators will sometimes warn you with their words.

FatBuddersMom :
I tell every man who wants to date me "no" about something before the first date. no to that restaurant. no that day/time won't work for me. just pick any one thing and say no. see how they handle it. a large percentage of them reply defensively, either subtly or loudly, and that is the red flag I was fishing for, so then I block them and move on. a small rejection or me setting a boundary would never make a secure, healthy man feel defensive.

Accusing your partner of trying to look good for someone else, especially if you wear new clothes or try new makeup, or even wear makeup at all. It starts by gently giving your partner a hard time for doing normal things.

they rush into relationships with you. acting like they want to marry you and start a life with you and move in within the first week. also, they pick fights whenever something good is happening for you

I was in an active DV situation during the time Gabby was reported missing and later found killed. Her story was instrumental in pushing me to escape that situation, and I am in a happy healthy safe life now. It’s cruel and unfair that she doesn’t get the same ending, but she truly helped save my life.

After love bombing, isolation and control. When they see they can't control you they turn to physical and emotional violence

If you don’t want to tell your friends and family, what happened it’s not OK and it’s going to get worse

Trying to get too deep. There’s no reason to be sharing deeply personal info in the first month, etc… and if you say you don’t want to talk about something they are trying to ask you about, if they pressure you more.. even bigger 🚩. It’s trying to find out how to manipulate you, and basically get “dirt” on you to use against you later.

If you feel a relationship is intense… run. It’s not intense it’s your body sending you alerts that something is wrong.

i was hanging out with a guy at his house and he “jokingly” put a pillow over my face while i was laying on my back. it was a relatively small act but in that moment i thought “this is a man that could kill me.” that was the last time i saw him bc i didn’t need to find out if he would take it further

A small shove or push. Leave!!! Also a certain look in the eyes where you don’t see their soul any more. That is an anger that will become a problem.

Rescued Spirits :
Over reaction to not immediately responding via text and throwing temper tantrums or getting ignored for it. Critiquing my texts and or if I called a friend or posted a social post before responding to them. Things that can look really small when mixed with love bombing but are gigantic red flags of something that gets much worse.
