I always feel really sad when I hear the stories of women who are in abusive or unloving relationships (or I get mad when there's kids involved, but that's another post). Then I read really sweet posts from women who found their thoughtful and supportive partner, and it makes me so happy to know they are in a relationship that is as happy, functional, and safe as mine.

For the ladies who found their perfect match, I'm curious: What red flags did you heed in previous relationships and got out of there. And what green flags about your current partner let you know that he was the one?
