I bring my parents on again to help talk through “yellow flags” during the engagement timeframe. I recount a couple of red flags from my one-on-one interactions with J.
From strange and sexist religious viewpoints, J's apathy for obtaining work and safe housing, to the first incident of sexual assault/harassment; the engagement period has me scratching my head and wishing I could go back in time to break up and end all contact with J!
It's messy. Activate your empathy.
