Knowing one's worth and setting non-negotiable boundaries are essential in love, and Barbie Forteza did not hold back as she shared her unfiltered views on when it is time to leave a relationship.

Sitting down with host Dani Barretto on The Bare It All Podcast, the Kapuso actress reflected on past media questions regarding infidelity and whether she had ever experienced being cheated on.

"Kasi nung nag-media con kami, ang tanong sa akin kung naloko na raw ba ako, like cheating ganyan, have I ever been cheated on? Tas na-realize ko, hindi ko alam... hindi pa naman. Pero kasi ang dami ko ring nakikitang ibang red flags that caused me to get out of something I don't want to stay in."

Barbie explained that a partner's day-to-day behavior and how they make her feel hold just as much weight as loyalty:

"And mas ganun... as a Leoo woman, hindi lang cheating ang makakapagpaalis sa akin. Pag hindi ko na nagugustuhan yung trato sa akin, goodbye na."

Dani chimed in, noting how admirable it is to recognize warning signs rather than turning a blind eye: "Ang ganda kasi naso-spot mo yung red flags, kasi diba normally pag in love ka, hindi mo nakikita yun eh."

Barbie admitted that walking away is never a reckless or impulsive move for her, but rather a deliberate choice she commits to fully once decided, one that many netizens have since praised her for online:

"I think para sa akin as Barbie, mas mahaba yung pag-process of papaano ko gagawin or if dapat ko nang gawin. Pero once I made that decision, there's really no turning back."

Dani nodded along, sharing her own realization about emotional detachment for other people as well: "Parang ang bilis ko palang mag-detach pag hindi ako natatrato nang maayos... Natatakot ka sa sarili mo kasi parang alam kong mahal ko yung tao, pero kaya ko palang mag-detach."
