Do we allow our mind to ignore the red flags we experience at the beginning of relationships? Does a gut feeling alert us that there might be something wrong, and we choose to ignore it?
Does our need to be loved, or to have someone in our lives, keep us in relationships that are not good for us? By acknowledging early warning signs you may be able to avoid future pain.
Consider your values, are they similar, or is there room to meeting halfway? Consider past relationships; ask what his ex would say about him. What was the reason for the breakup? Does this reveal anything about his maturity? Analyze behavior patterns, are they comparable to yours? How does he handle conflict? Is there open communication and dialogue between the two of you? Consider his drive for life, his goals, and ambitions. And last but no least, his views on financial matters, faith, and his relationship with his family. A lot to consider, I know. But if you’re able to find answers to some of these questions, you may be better equipped to make an intelligent decision.
Breaking free from a relationship is not easy. We first have admit that we’re in a bad relationship in order for us to move on. Then, we must learn to find value and self-worth within ourselves. After this, you might be ready for break up. This road is not easy, but with time and effort, you will recover. Consider your wellbeing as your first priority, and focus on your needs.
Remember, before you make a decision, evaluate each sign and determine which you can live with, and which would put a wedge in your relationship. Communicate your concerns with your partner. If he or she is not willing to work through them with you, then it may be time to move on.
Don’t be a prisoner of love; you have the power to walk away. Be confident, and strong. Don’t be reluctant to change in your life. Your payoff may be that you’ll a partner that’s right for you, and you’ll be able to experience a healthier relationship.

I think a certain part of it is that some of us may feel like there is no reoasn to take it slow. Up until recently we didnt have the right to get married anywhere. Even though a few states have legalized it, many others have officially banned it. Many states have laws against gay adoption. Some of us just feel like if there is no chance for us to be together and function as a couple, why should we live by heterosexual standards of moving slow, waiting until marriage (That we cant even have) to have sex, waiting until marriage to move in, or even monogamy. Those are all heterosexual practices, and heterosexuals always want to make it clear that we arent the same and dont have a right to be the same. So from my view point, why try? I support and fight for equality laws in marriage and adoption and hate crimes and everything else. But why on earth should I wait for marriage to have sex when Im not even allowed to get married to a woman? But, that is the more cynical view. The more empathetic view, I think is that we just tend to be more open about stuff. We have all had to think about and come to terms with things about our sexuality that straight people dont have to. Maybe a part of it is that during this coming to terms, we just end up far more comfortable with sexuality than other people do.Although, I know plenty of heterosexuals that do the same things listed in your post. I dont know that its actually fair to say gay people do it more.
