🚩 WATCH FOR THIS RED FLAG 🚩 I told him I wanted a divorce because HE cheated. His immediate response? He accused ME of seeing someone else. Instead of taking accountability for the behavior that brought us to this moment, the conversation suddenly became about what I was supposedly doing wrong. This is why it’s important to recognize blame-shifting and deflection. When you bring up something that hurt you, pay attention to what happens next. Do they acknowledge what they did and have an honest conversation? Or do they immediately attack your character, change the subject, accuse you of something, or somehow make themselves the victim? You don’t have to diagnose someone as a narcissist to recognize an unhealthy pattern. 🚩 Deflection 🚩 Blame-shifting 🚩 Counter-accusations 🚩 Refusing accountability 🚩 Turning your confrontation into a defense of yourself Sometimes the biggest red flag isn’t just what someone did. It’s what they do when you finally confront them about it. #RelationshipRedFlags #ToxicRelationships #BlameShifting #DARVO
