You know those little things your S.O. does that really get on your nerves?
Like when...
1. They only send one-word responses
If they're uninterested in how you are or what you are doing, do they really love you? If you are putting in 80% of the effort, are they really that great? If they're still acting like they don't care, they probably don't.
2. They're always on their phone while you're together
Hey! I'm over here! Could you get off your phone for two seconds and spend time with me? Thanks!
3. Their ex is their best friend on Snapchat
Yikes. Social media can be great, but seeing your boyfriend like that girl's bikini pic on Instagram or your girlfriend constantly Snapchatting her ex? Not a good feeling.
4. They always invite their friends on your dates
Okay, as much as I love group hang outs, can we just have one date where it's just the two of us?
5. They make you feel bad for wanting to hang out with your friends instead of him/her
Listen, as much as you love your S.O., spending every waking moment together is not healthy for anyone. Sometimes you just need a girls night out or, dare I say, a Saturday with the boys.
6. They don't introduce you to their family or friends as their boyfriend/girlfriend
"This is my uhhhh... Shelby. This is Shelby."
Awkward.
7. They tell you what you can and cannot do
If he tells you that you can't wear something because it's too revealing or she unreasonably tells you that you can't hang out with someone, just dump them.
8. They don't support your goals
Don't question or ignore your S.O.'s dreams for their future. Be there for them and help them make it a reality.
9. They act disrespectfully in front of your family
They better be on their best behavior around your family and actually want to engage with them. Let's face it-- If your family doesn't like them, you will never last.
