nayrt - It's true that a lot of people miss red flags but "willfully" is... complicated. Some people are in denial, sure. Others simply don't grasp the seriousness of the situation or what those red flags mean, either because they lack experience* or because they're also getting a lot of societal and cultural feedback about how dodgy male behavior isn't that bad, or how jealousy means he really loves you, or stand by your man, or you should communicate better because if you just said it the right way he wouldn't be angry and he'd totally parent his own children instead of spending every weekend drinking with the guys, blah blah blah.

And then some men just do a better job of hiding their real selves until they feel they've got a woman locked down in marriage, pregnant, financially dependent on them, etc. Then the mask slips.

* And predators will target people who lack experience, people who are good hearted and want to believe the best in others, etc. It's deliberate.
