What's a red flag (in a partner) that you completely ignored?

I start first: I had massive pain on two of my teeth. Pain was spreading to my entire face. Some sort of infection. Couldn't even talk. He was next to me, playing video-games. Opened a note on my phone and wrote :call the ambulance, please. He said he wouldn't do that because the nurses/doctors would laugh. My pain was not reason enough to call ambulance.
Second red flag : I was at his place over night. Sudden allergy started and I could not breathe. Mostly whistling , feeling my throat itchy, my eyes watering. I told him I could not breathe. He was angry and asked what the f**k I want him to do about it? Building a BA? There are many, many other red flags of this person. I could write a book about it.

If the roles were reversed, would you have hesitated? Would you have let him suffer while you kept playing? No. Because when someone you care about is in danger, you don't think you act. He thought. And he chose not to. You already have all the proof you need. Now you just have to believe it.

Well it's ironic because a few months after the ''call the ambulance'' event, he wasn't feeling well. I was worried sick. Didn't sleep, went to pharmacy three times, trying really hard to help him. Called the ambulance too as his health wasn't improving.
Another red flag: we were both working in the same IT industry, different companies. I got promoted, faked his entire 'joy' and acted like he was so happy when I brought a cake and had a party with friends and family. Next day he went nuts. He said I did not deserve it. That I only care about work and stopped spending time with him ( this part was true) Somehow subconsciously I was afraid to be near him. He said '' I hope they will fire you soon''.
Well he was the one fired 10 days after this incident..
Anyway It was really hard for me to get out of this toxic relationship. Glad that eventually I did.

The way you showed up for him when he was sick says everything about your character and the way he showed up for you says everything about his. That promotion situation was never about work but about him feeling small and needing to make you smaller so he could feel big again and life handed him a reality check real quick. You have a good heart and unfortunately you gave it to the wrong person.

It's good to know you finally left that guy behind

I’m on GAG to help you decode red flags and stop dating emotional disasters in disguise.

Girl… his empathy level is below sea level. Two major medical emergencies and he chose ego, laziness, and mockery over your safety. That’s not clueless, that’s cold.

My ignored red flag? A woman who laughed when I was sick and called me “dramatic.” I told myself she was “just blunt.” Nope. That’s how we trauma-bond ourselves into misery. You walking away from that guy? Greenest flag ever.

You already know what you have to do which is to dump him... so why are you coming on here when you already know this? For validation in your decision? You don't need our permission to do what is necessary and right

I was asking if you guys ignored a red flag. I left that relationship years ago. It took me ages to do so but eventually I did
