People are often in denial

I think when people are desperate for love, they are in denial about red flags. I know women who knew that their boyfriend is a jerk, but they still married, had kids, then spend their whole life complain how bad he is.

If he is bad boyfriend he’ll be a bad husband. But some people would rather be with a jerk than alone. They don’t know how to be alone. And then many women don’t want to support themselves so they’d rather live with a jerk than go get a job and become independent

I think there are reasons for not seeing red flags, some of which is denial

But that just one reason. Not everyone is in denial. Sometimes we want to give people second chance or some people are good pretending, although one can only pretend that long. My daughter got together with this jerk last year and truth about him came out which wasn’t how he initially presented himself. She got out quickly, she was out like a light. Sometimes we all miss red flags, the point is to get out as soon as we see them!
