🚦 Red Light, Green Light & The Yellow Zone | Relationship Flags Pt. 1

What makes someone a green flag? What are the red flags you should never ignore? And what about those behaviors that aren't exactly red or green, but somewhere in between?

In this episode of DPTR (Dam & Precious Talk Relationship), Dam and Precious unpack the signs people often miss in relationships. From consistency and accountability to respect, trust, growth, and communication, they explore what healthy relationships look like and how small warning signs can grow into bigger problems if left unchecked.

This episode also introduces the idea of the "Yellow Zone" — behaviors that deserve attention before they become relationship deal-breakers.

In This Episode:

✅ What green flags actually look like in real life ✅ Why consistency matters more than grand gestures ✅ Accountability vs empty apologies ✅ Respect in public and private ✅ Difficult conversations and emotional maturity ✅ Personal growth as a relationship requirement ✅ Yellow flags that can become red flags
