10 Signs You Should Kick Him To The Curb

Relationships are tricky, and it can be hard to realize when it's time to give up on someone and move on. If you have any doubt, look for these signs in your relationship and allow them to answer the question, "Should I just dump him?"

1. Your close friends and family don't like him.

Your friends and family don't run your life, but their opinion definitely matters. If none of the people who are closest to you like him, things are unlikely to turn around.

2. You have conflicting personal views.

Some say politics doesn't matter, and those people scare me. Political views hugely represent your morals, upbringing, and how you live your life. Save yourself from a few arguments and just end it now.

3. He likes to play mind games.

Jean-Louis Paulin

You know exactly what I'm talking about. He says he doesn't like labels but insists he's loyal. He won't text you back for days and then go, "Haha sorry I was sleeping :p wyd?" There are certainly men out there who will commit to you without hesitation, so there's no reason to wait on this one.

4. He doesn't like to address problems in the relationship.

Priscilla Du Preez

If you notice he dodges conversations about your relationship, shifts blame, or gets mad about an entirely different issue, you need to drop him STAT.

5. He makes excuses to avoid hanging out.

I'm not saying he can't have a life of his own, but if he's constantly avoiding plans, canceling, or making up lame excuses like, "I need to wash my cat" then chances are, he's not really interested in your relationship.

6. Abusive behavior, in any form.

Sydney Sims

It doesn't matter if it is physical, sexual, emotional, or any other form. Abuse is abuse, and you DO NOT deserve that. In serious or dangerous cases, contact the local authorities.

7. You want different things in life.

If your goals and ambitions don't line up, it can be hard to end things on those terms. It's okay to want different things, but it's not okay to expect that to change.

8. He won't introduce you to his friends or family.

Same goes for when he doesn't want to meet your friends. He's likely afraid of commitment and knows meeting each other's friends and family means you'll be seen as a couple. Understandably, if it's only been a couple weeks then it's different. But if you've been together for several months and haven't met anyone he cares about, maybe question his reasons for that.

9. He discredits your hobbies, opinions, or goals.

Social Cut

Far too many times have I let a guy tell me that my interests are stupid. A good boyfriend should be supportive of you and everything you want to do with your life.

10. You don't feel attracted to him.

Attraction matters in a relationship. If you aren't feeling any kind of attraction to him, don't wait for it to just happen over time.

If you're still reading this article, you're clearly looking for a sign. It's okay to end relationships when you just aren't happy, even if you can't find a specific reason why. It is much better to do what's right for you now than to wait until it "starts to feel right".

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
