This seems to be something that has been instilled in women from an early age. I know I've very rarely gotten a friend's true feeling about a boyfriend until I'm out of the relationship.
I've seen my friends date a lot of different guys, and even marry a few of them. I often think that they're settling for less than they deserve. But true to girl code, I never speak up. So here's a post for my girlfriends. This is what I think of your current man or have thought of your past men. If you think one is about you, it probably is. If you're offended by one, it probably isn't about you....
- You're more attractive than him
- He has short man syndrome
- You seem to take all of the chances and make all of the sacrifices while he makes none
- I heard he cheated on you
- I heard you cheated on him
- You're unique, he isn't
- His friends are pretentious
- He's an alcoholic
- It's called emotional abuse. Abuse doesn't always mean physical violence
- You're perfect as you are and anyone that tells you to lose weight is a fool
- He's not funny
- He doesn't think I'm funny
- He's using you
- Please don't marry him just because you want a wedding
- You're not as interesting around him. Are you dumbing yourself down for him? Stop. Stop now.
- Stop letting him tell you how to do your hair
- You don't really love him
- Did I mention that you're much more attractive than he is?
- He isn't nice to your friends
- He'll never go anywhere
- Your codependence scares me
- He doesn't give you butterflies
- He doesn't challenge you
Much love to my friends. Now you know what I really think. Someday I'll follow my own advice.
a few more additions to that oh so true and hilarious post....

ReplyDeleteYou know I tried to be honest Nelly one time and I almost lost a friend. Not fun. I should have posted it all instead
ReplyDeleteLOL this is a great one. What about:
ReplyDeleteHey, remember that one time he cheated on you? Because I do, and you're better than that.
or
Ummm...he smells kinda bad and you shouldn't have to deal with that :)
Jackie I love this! So true. What about:
ReplyDeletePlease don't stay with him because you are afraid of being alone.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Remember when I almost married that silly guy who met about 90% of your criteria for "WTF are you doing with him you crazy ass???" Oh well...you live, you learn and drink to get through it. - Jen
ReplyDeleteCara, great one. That's the one that I always need to hear!
ReplyDeleteGlad I could entertain.
PS. Stop asking which one is about your boyfriend when you know I'm just going to lie to you. ;)
