The Different Snapshots of You

"My girlfriend is a red flag. She cheats on me. Lies to me. Strings me along and uses me.
But what can I do? I love her. Isn't it my duty as her boyfriend to set her on the right path? My friends all think I'm an idiot.
"But can I somehow dye this red flag green?"

After all, red flags just look like flags when you put on your rose coloured glasses, right?
