    Dear Gracelyn: What are the red flags I should watch for in a new relationship?

    Cathy B. – Town of The Blue Mountains

    Hi Cathy…

    Relationship red flags are nuanced behavioral and emotional patterns that signal potential toxicity or fundamental incompatibility. Beyond obvious warning signs like disrespect or aggression, subtle red flags include consistent dismissiveness, emotional manipulation, inability to take personal accountability, and patterns of control disguised as care.

    Pay attention to how potential partners treat others, manage stress, and respond to disagreement. Healthy relationships are characterized by mutual respect, emotional safety, and a genuine commitment to each other’s growth. Red flags emerge when one partner consistently prioritizes their needs at the expense of the other’s well-being, demonstrates an inability to communicate vulnerably, or shows patterns of isolating their partner from supportive networks.

    Be Happy,

    Gracelyn

    In my next column, I’ll be addressing “How can we keep romance alive after years together?”

    VIDEO: 張哲瀚Zhang Zhehan 紀錄片《八月》

    《八月》是中國演員張哲瀚首次擔任導演的紀錄片,2024年4月14日上線。 該片記錄了張哲瀚在2021年8月突遇網路風暴,演藝人生頃刻被顛倒後的一次自我療愈之旅。 當舞臺與燈光不再,當事業與生活被網路上的不實資訊和惡意扭曲震碎,張哲瀚選擇在兩年後的8月,以自己熱愛的方式向著真實的世界重新出發。從香格里拉到拉薩的騎行之路上,他遇見雪山和冰川,遇見草木牛羊,遇見許多個普通而動人的面孔;他傾聽天地之聲,傾聽陌生人的故事,也傾聽內心的痛和愛。 曾經的8月還未終結,以後的8月依然會來。而這一個《八月》意義非常。 #zhangzhehan_super3 #張哲瀚 #張哲瀚八月 #紀錄片八月 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLwMG6XoJ34&t=11s
