If you truly love someone, you’ll accept them as they are. Hearing your partner sing in the shower or snore loudly shouldn’t suddenly make you question everything. But sometimes, it takes being in a committed relationship to clearly see all of the red flags your partner is waving.
Women on Reddit have recently been opening up about the niche red flags that they didn’t spot in their exes until they had already been dating for a while. From being obsessed with luxury goods to believing in dragons, apparently, not everyone advertises their worst qualities on the first date. But we hope you’ll enjoy scrolling through this list, and be sure to upvote the behaviors and traits that would be deal-breakers for you too!

Zero ambition.
I'll preface this by saying that I have never been a materialistic person - I've never cared about money or status or any of that. However, my ex had zero ambition. He had a job that paid very little, despite being perfectly capable of doing "better." That man let me cover 90% of the bills and DROWN in debt for 15 years.
I never needed to be taken care of or provided for, but I needed to feel like I was in a partnership, to be met halfway, especially when we were struggling financially.
He had zero ambition, zero desire to do better for himself or his family. I saw that red flag early and never thought twice about it.
