Don't tolerate partners with bad behaviours
YEN.com.gh reached out to relationship counsellor, Rose Aboagyewaa Adjei, who admonished ladies to consider jilting their partners who show clear signs of abuse during a relationship.
Reacting to the demise of Joana Yabani and the arrest of Daniel Tuffour, the Counsellor said there is no reason to be in a relationship once your partner exhibits certain behaviours you deem as red flags.
"Once your partner shows signs or behaviours you are not comfortable with, end the relationship immediately. We come from different homes, and everyone has their upbringing. And know that people develop bad traits based on the upbringing they got growing up. Others also get them through friendship or by association. Until you see he has changed his behaviour, never reconcile with him and save your life."
Counsellor Adjei also refuted the assertion that one can transform the bad behaviours of their partners in the course of the relationship.
"You can never change someone unless God intervenes. During the dating period know that you are studying each other. Once you observe repeated behaviours you deem as a red flag, just end the relationship."
