Relationships are usually full of ups and downs but there are certain red flags that you should never ignore.

Is there a story unfolding in your community? Let Hivisasa know

If your boyfriend does any of these five things to you, it's time to head straight through the door and leave; 

Lays a hand on you 

A guy who physically or verbally abuses a woman is a dangerous person and doesn't deserve you. If he hits you, he clearly doesn't love or respect you. So, if he can't deal with his anger in non-violent ways, then it's time to pack your bags sis. Walk away from the toxic relationship. 

Constantly talks to his ex 

The truth is, no girl spends so much time texting a guy if she doesn't have some stake in the game. Therefore, if he's constantly texting or calling his ex, that clearly means he's not over her and they might be in the process of rekindling their love behind your back. And when confronted, most guys usually use the "we're just friends" phrase to get away with it. Don't fall for that lie. 

Disrespects your friends and family

If he's not polite and respectful towards people you care about most, then it's not worth it. There's no way your relationship will work with a person who doesn't vibe with your friends and family. A guy who is serious about you and genuinely loves you will try as much as possible to know, respect and be in good terms with your inner circle. Even if they're hard to please, he will show effort. 

Takes you for granted 

If you feel like your partner is undervaluing you by taking you for granted, then it's time to leave and go find someone who will appreciate you. 

Constantly lies over small things 

If he can afford to lie about small things, he definitely will do the same for bigger things; Things that when lied about might affect you. Don't overlook this.
