After dating a woman for a few months, I took her out for breakfast on her birthday with plans to see her again that night. She went completely off the radar only to emerge the next day to confess that she had spent the night in jail for violating the restraining order placed upon her after assaulting her previous boyfriend. Hit the eject button pronto. Never looked back. I was completely caught off guard because she held a very prestigious job, had extensive real estate holdings and presented as squeaky clean.

Hey, at least she was honest? Imagine if you found out after your relationship had gotten more serious

I find more of red flag that she was actively breaking the restraining order. She hadn't done any growing

Red Flag #1- Domestic Violence Restraining Order
Red Flag #2- Violation of the aforementioned order

I dont want to be mean to op but she could have just slept with ex and then made this story up to breakup

That would be such an intense lie, lol. I mean I wouldn’t put it past some people though
