None, that’s how you get a healthy relationship. Stop ignoring the red flags please.
None, don’t ignore red flags.
Um I’ve ignored an incompatibility here and there but never a red flag. 😬
None, that’s why I’m marrying him.

I’m wondering if maybe you meant a minor inconvenience (like a yellow flag) instead of a red flag? Red flags are usually a sign to run away.
Currently considering divorce over red flags
I am single for a reason. I aged out of being able to ignore the red flags.
He doesn’t like sushi.
He votes Tory
People have truly forgotten the definition of a red flag
…none? I don’t tolerate any bad behaviour.
Penis is low value and high volume. I don’t have to tolerate anything in order to get any. XD
I’m currently married and even when my husband was having a difficult time with his mental health he was still kind, respectful and generous.
When I met & married (28f & 24 years ago), I didn’t know about Red Flags. I was incredibly naive. I had a strict Christian/fundamentalist upbringing.
I ignored red flags before and every single relationship was toxic or abusive. I finally stopped ignoring them, and am finally in a healthy relationship with the love of my life, who has zero red flags.
Don’t ignore red flags!!!
Back then it would be the promiscuous past of his before me. Because I am not sure if he could pair bond with me and stay loyal until the end.
He has a helicopter mom & it made him less independent.
High key this is minimizing the whole idea of a red flag. It’s not meant to be ignored. Take care of yourself, you deserve it.
None?
He has an avoidant attachment style. I’m anxious.
We’re both talking about it and working on it from our perspective sides.
My ex was like that too and it broke me. He wouldn’t talk about it or admit there was anything wrong with it, whereas I know my faults and was constantly trying to work on it alone.

My husband cheated on his last two wives.
Yeah. That’s fucking awesome. He’s 50 now – and I’d divorce his ass faster than fuck if he cheated on me.
Mod note: please refrain from using mental health related terms or diagnostic labels casually.
Do not speculate, armchair diagnose, or label other people’s mental health situations; or use terms for mental health issues as judgments, slurs, or synonyms for toxic/abusive behaviour even when talking about yourself. More information about this rule can be found here.
If you’re referring to someone (yourself or others) who has been formally diagnosed by a medical professional, please make sure your comment reflects that.
His emotional constipation, refusal to communicate, and lashing out when confronted.
After almost 9 years together, this has all mostly stopped. He’d never been in a healthy relationship, romantic or otherwise, and sort of had to learn from me how to actually face problems in a healthy way… He also has a lot appreciation for me doing this kind of invisible labor and expresses that in his words and actions.
People can change if you give them space to. But! It is not for everyone… I don’t know if I would have told young me to stay with him even knowing what I know now… because there was a lot of pain getting to this point.
She will only eat her food with a small spoon of a specific size, shape and weight.
His mother is the red flag… good thing he’s learned to stick to his guns when she forgets her boundaries
