Your Conflicts Include Criticism and Contempt
When you ask him to help you around the house, you should make the request as politely as possible. If you call him a lazy slob in the process, then you two probably won't last.

Trust is Totally Lacking
It's hard for couples to recover after being cheated on. If you don't trust your partner, even a little bit, then there's now way you're going to last.

There's Not a Lot of Touching Going on
Healthy couples touch a lot more--and we're not just talking about sex. They kiss, hug, and snuggle, too. So if you're not doing any of that with your partner, it's a red flag.
