7. He constantly needs to be reminded of how much you love him.
Don’t get me wrong, telling your BF you love him is always great, but when it becomes a task to have to repeatedly say “I love you” you might want to take a step back and look at what you’ve gotten yourself into. He takes “needy” to a whole other level. He actually gets offended when you hang up the phone in a rush and forget to squeeze out those three little words (even though you already said it four other times in that same phone call just minutes before).
6. He’s just like his dad (and not in a good way).
Every son wants to be just like their dad, so pay close attention. When you’re with his whole family and his dad starts making inappropriate comments or dumb jokes that no one laughs at, just realize that what you’re seeing is a glimpse into your future. The way they eat, sleep, breathe, EVERYTHING, it’s all the same.
5. He gets mad when you wear “certain” clothing.
Now don’t get me wrong, if I were a boy I wouldn’t want my girl prancing around in a bra and booty shorts, but let the girl live. If he gets mad at you for wearing your favorite short shorts and that cute new tank from H&M with the strappy back you need to sit him down and have a chat. He’s not your dad, and he needs to know that you can express yourself any way that you want. He might even make comments like “Oh.. you’re gonna wear that..?” or the always heartfelt “You know it’s kinda gonna be a fancier party… don’t you think you’re a little underdressed?” tied together with “Are we going to Applebees trivia night or to the strip club?” NEWS FLASH ASSHOLE: Who cares if we want to wear our cute nude heals to dinner or through the mall!? We don’t get all dolled up for you, we do it for ourselves.
4. He finds it necessary to text you 20 times while you’re in the shower.
We’ve all had this type of guy in our life at one point. They come in two different styles. The first being the clingy BF. This one’s texts will look a bit like this:
“Okay, have a good shower!”
“I love you”
“Wow, you’re taking a long shower…”
“Babe?? Are you okay? It’s been 20 minutes”
“Helloooo??”
…and so on until you answer to let him know that you didn’t die, you were just shaving your legs and having a quick mini concert for all of your shower fans.
The second type of BF is simply the one that will hold a conversation with himself. This conversation is as follows:
“Okay, have a good shower!”
“I’m so hungry I think I’m gonna go make some food”
“Yes we have mac and cheese!”
“Wow now I’m thirsty”
“There’s nothing good to watch on TV right now 🙁 ”
…and then when you reply with the simple “I’m out” he will say “Did you get my texts?”
No matter what style of BF you may have, if he fits those descriptions, you may want to think twice before sticking around, or just never shower again… that works too.
3. He invites himself to your family events.
It’s always nice to invite your significant other to your family cookout, but when he starts inviting himself to your aunts house for your grandmas 89th birthday party, he’s taken things too far. Before you know it he’ll be at your family reunions talking about the chocolate cake with your aunt and uncle from out of town and calling your dad “pops”.
2. He doesn’t understand the sentence “I’m busy”
It’s actually comical how many boys will get upset if they ask you to hang out and you reply with “I already have plans”. I’m sorry that its 6:30pm on Friday night and you just asked me to go to a movie, I have plans to go out. If your significant other tries to make you feel bad when you say things like “we’re having a girls night”, or “I’m already out” is he really a keeper? Think about it. If you have plans with him and then your friends text you saying “Come to the bar! Everyone’s here!” would you ditch him and go? (If you answered “yes” please just do us all a favor and break up with your man because you’re a shitty girlfriend). Likewise, why should he expect you to ditch your friends for him?! HE SHOULDN’T.
1. You get annoyed at him for the simplest things.
If you get annoyed at your significant other by the way he eats/breathes/sleeps, just remember that you’re on the road to spending the rest of your life with that. If his same old jokes that really aren’t funny make you want to punch yourself in the face, and his bad habit of not covering his mouth when he coughs makes your stomach turn, then I highly suggest ending things fast. Before you know it, you’ll be saying those same bad jokes to all of your friends… and believe me, no one wants that.
So if your relationship fits any of these reasons, you need to take a step back and look at your life through the eyes of someone else. And yes breakups suck, but give it time and you’ll be okay. Staying in the same bad relationship is only hurting yourself, and the longer you hold out the harder it gets to cut ties.
