Transcript

10 signs you need to walk away from her. If she doesn't reply, don't text again. If she shows low effort, believe her. If she talks down on men or calls her exes crazy, don't engage. If she doesn't make it easy for you to see her, don't waste your time. If she disrespects you, walk away. Respect is not negotiable. If she only reaches out when she needs something, you're an option, not a priority. You need to leave. If she hides you from her friends or social media, she's keeping other doors open. If she ignores you, walk away and don't explain yourself. If she brings chaos early, imagine commitment better, exit fast. If being with her worst you peace, confidence, or self respect, she's too expensive.
