Being blinded by love—is something many people go through. It’s often easier to spot red flags in hindsight than in the moment, because when emotions are strong, they can override logic and make us rationalize behaviors we’d otherwise question.

Why this happens
1. Attachment bias: When we’re invested in someone, we tend to downplay warning signs because we don’t want to lose them.
2. Hope for change: Love makes us believe the person will improve or that the relationship will “settle” into something better.
3. Selective perception: We focus on the good moments and ignore the bad, convincing ourselves the positives outweigh the negatives.

Common early signs people overlook
1. Inconsistent communication or affection.
2. Disrespect disguised as “jokes” or mood swings.
3. Avoidance of accountability—always shifting blame.
4. Secrecy about important aspects of life (finances, past relationships, intentions).
5. A pattern of instability in past relationships.

Moving forward
Love should never blind us to reality; instead, it should coexist with clarity and respect. A useful mindset is: “Love is a feeling, but trust and respect are choices.” If those choices aren’t mutual, the relationship will struggle no matter how strong the emotions are.

Omo if that thing de hungry you every red flag turns blue in your eyes

Even mess go de smell like perfume lol

This is why you need guidance from parents, books, or mentors, especially when you're naive

Take care of yourself financially, Always remember health is wealth before even thinking of anything related to love

If you don't love yourself, you loving others can not be genuine

Damn, you ain't crazy when your love swept, you do anything for the one you love. Rihanna

love!!
two consonant,two vowels,and two idiot!!!

Made this mistake and paid dearly for it. +234 Women are ruthless

Most importantly, if he/she says long term courtship isn't needed or necessary. At least, one year courtship is very necessary.Habits can't be hidden forever,it must smoke out.There would be a time your fiancee would get distracted and exhibit his/her real self. He/she may apologise immediately and say it's the devil but jot things down. If its habitual, it will definitely repeat itself.

My brother's wife was asthmatic but she hid it from him during courtship. She said she had no health issues, neither was there any hereditary disease in their family. Their courtship only lasted months before they got married. She's also the temperamental type.Whenever she's angry, she can pull down the whole building.

Immediately after their wedding, she had an asthmatic attack, a serious one. She said she once had it but later stopped...that was her excuse for not telling her man. Again, over every trivial issue, she would flare up. All these were deliberately hidden during the short term courtship in my opinion. My brother is very gentle. Having an asthma isnt a taboo but why hide it? As a Christian that he is,he just had to tolerate her like that instead of divorcing or marring another wife.I'm sure he felt disappointed. Same goes for men. Some are wolves in ship's clothing.

Long term courtship will reduce divorce, assault and domestic violence by a large percentage. Long term courtship doesn't connote having intimacy. You can court for 3 years without touching each other if you're both discipline. Always set boundaries

They say "dem no de advice person wey de in love".

That is why me I don't fall in love because if you fall in love, you will be down and not be able to see a lot of things. Instead, stand in love because when you stand in love, you will stand and be seeing a lot of things wella

On period.

Like Schopeneur wrote, man is under spell by nature.
The curtains often fall after childbirth.
Nature doesn't care about your happiness.
It only cares about the next generation, the offspring.
The boobs, nyash,etc are all a bait 🪤 nature uses to ensnare men.
We are only consciously and unconsciously following a script written by nature.

Just Fear woman,to survive this wicked world

Not applicable t'all.

My past experiences showed no matter how I live a lady, I will not forget noticeable RED FLAGS

Just be levelheaded even in love matters.

Joke with number one at your peril.
Once there is a breach in communication and continual decline the relationship won't last
