By now, there’s pretty much zero point labeling someone your “boyfriend” if you don’t see at least a glimmer of a possibility that the two of you have the power to last.
And, sadly, “lasting” is increasingly difficult to do these days (not that we have to tell you that).
That’s why you sometimes have to cut the cord before things get messier and more dramatic down the line. Need some inspiration?
Here are 27 good reasons to breakup with your guy…
[ad_bb1]
1. He’d rather play video games than have sex.
Then wonders why the more video games he plays, the less sex he has.
2. All three of his upcoming vacations are with ‘the boys.’
Which means that all of his vacation time is accounted for and you’re “lucky” if you get the odd weekend away with him.
3. He makes you split every single bill, every single time.
He is so cheap that he nickels and dimes every bill with you, yet gets mad when you suggest to pay the whole damn thing yourself to avoid the hassle. This isn’t about you excepting him to pick up the tab, it’s about a little romance once in a while.
4. You already know what having a child would be like because he acts like one.
In fact, caring for an infant would probably be easier than dealing with him and his mess, occasional tantrums, and irresponsible habits.
5. He bombards you with messages all day, every day.
Not only is he needy and subsequently suffocating, he clearly needs to work harder at his job.
6. You’re pretty sure his friends have no clue who you are.
The one guy you did meet called you by another name, yet, you know every single (ridiculous) story about each one of them, along with some of their equally as ridiculous inside jokes.
7. Your girlfriend saw him on a hook-up app.
And when you asked him about it, he said he signed up as a “joke.” Hilarious, right?
8. He insists all the female dinner dates he’s spotted on around town are “old friends.”
Coincidentally, the same “old friends” are the ones who wake you both up with 1am text messages.
9. He gets so drunk that he wakes up beside you and asks if you had sex last night.
It was good, right?
10. He’s gone through your phone … more than once.
“I love jealous guys,” said no self-respecting female ever.
11. He guilt trips you to stay in with him every single ladies’ night.
It’s become as routine as a child’s nightly bedtime protest. And no, there’s nothing cute about it. Plus, your girls aren’t having it.
12. His definition of a “busy” Tuesday involves one lunch meeting and going to the bank.
Seriously, if he had to take care of half of what you did in a day, he would lose his mind.
13. He still doesn’t remember your birthday.
Yet he expects his to be celebrated for an entire month.
14. Your friends seem to be the butt of all his “jokes.”
Of course, he’s secretly the butt of theirs too when you’re not around.
15. He never asks how your day was.
Because he doesn’t actually care, and it’s a waste of words when his favourite show is on.
16. On “date night” you’re the third wheel to him and his phone.
Seriously, the two of them should get a room. It’s awkward and embarrassing for you otherwise.
17. Whenever he says he’ll take care of dinner options, you end up eating at Jack Astor’s.
Not that there’s anything wrong with Jack Astor’s, but on your anniversary, birthday, and the “meet-the-parents” dinner there is something wrong with it.
18. He has no clue how you take your coffee or what you like on your pizza.
That’s because he doesn’t pay attention. His brain is too full with other things, like where he’s going to party this weekend or how many “likes” his latest Instagram post got.
19. He talks about his ex so much you feel like you also dated her.
Seriously, at this point she even sounds like a better option than he does.
20. He calls home for cash on the weekly.
He’s so used to Mommy and Daddy bailing him out that he doesn’t even try to make more money himself.
21. He refuses to discuss the future, but you’ve been dating for two years.
In fact, he can barely commit to seeing you tonight, let alone a week from now.
22. He seems to think your job involves scribbling the day away in a colouring book.
That’s because he has such little respect for what you do for a living that he’s never asked what a typical day entails.
23. His definition of a work emergency involves not having enough models to drink from the bottles.
And you can’t get mad at him for partying late five nights a week, because he’s “entertaining clients.”
24. He belittles you in front of your friends and family and expects them to laugh.
When they don’t, he doesn’t even notice. He just orders another drink on your dad’s tab.
25. He’s nicer to his dog than he is to you.
And no, that’s no indication of how he’s going to treat his future kids. He may treat the bog better than them too.
26. He tries to buy your affection, love, and forgiveness thanks to his wallet, which is thicker than his brain.
But thankfully, you’re not “cheap” enough to think this means anything. And you’re smart enough to know that if you marry for money, you end up earning every cent.
27. You’re not looking forward to seeing him next.
In fact, you’ve gone through all your friends in your phone to see what their weekend plans are before you consult him on his.
