NEW essay: 9 Reminders To Avoid Toxic Partners! About a decade ago, I was enjoying a goat cheese omelet with my good friend Lisa, when she suddenly blurted something I’ll remember forever. “Your ex always reminded me of the U.N.,” Lisa said. I wasnt sure where she was going with this. “You know how the U.N. has all those flags? Lisa said. When I think of your ex, I see lots of red flags waving in the wind!” I laughed. “Yes, but why didn’t I see those red flags? I guess love is colorblind.” “You saw them,” Lisa insisted. “You just didn’t run when you did. Or rather you ran — but toward your ex — like a bull toward a red cape! When I returned home from brunch, I immediately headed to my underwear drawer, in search of old journals I’d stashed there. My goal: carefully review the journal I’d kept during my time with this ex to see just how many red flags had been warning me to get the heck out of this relationship. Carefully I re-read each entry. Then, for every warning sign I found, I drew a red flag with a red marker. When I was done, I flipped through. The red flags appeared slowly at first, making brief flashes of appearance. Then they got closer together. By journal’s end, there was a flurry of non-stop red flags. It was a powerful wake-up call. Shortly after, I made a list of all the lessons I’d learned from this experience to motivate myself to never ignore red flags a-waving ever again! I wound up publishing all the insights in a relationship book called Prince Harming Syndrome. Below are some key points from that book, as well as some never-before published notes, which I’m sharing now for the first time. CLICK TO READ THESE 9 REMINDERS TO AVOID TOXIC PARTNERS!
