You Don’t Feel Like Equals

If your man constantly puts you down and/or makes you feel inferior to him and his success, you need to let him go for good.

A relationship should be about understanding the importance of 50/50 and feeling loved and supported at all times. Don’t continue to stay with someone who insists on making you feel like you don’t measure up to who he is.

He Makes You Doubt Yourself

Despite our best efforts, we have all dealt with self-doubt at some point in our lives. However, there is a difference when the doubting comes from you and when it’s festering because your man makes you feel this way.

Your partner should be in your corner being your biggest cheerleader, lifting you up when you want to throw in the towel. He certainly shouldn’t be the person who is causing you to doubt yourself in an effort to control you and lower your self-esteem.

You Always Give But Never Receive

This behavior is a tell-tale sign that your relationship is extremely one-sided. No one wants to be in a relationship where they are the only ones giving of themselves, their time, their heart, their finances, etc., while the other party just repeatedly takes.

Take a stance with this behavior and stop giving! If you are naturally a giving person it may be hard to do initially, but you must force yourself. It’s important to assert yourself in this manner and let him know you’re nobody’s doormat.

He Belittles You In Private And In Public

People only do what you allow them to. If you let your man constantly get away with belittling you in private, naturally he’s going to assume that he has the freedom to execute the same behavior in public.

You are a grown woman (and a strong woman) who definitely doesn’t have tolerate being with someone who is verbally and emotionally abusive because that’s what this behavior is. Kick him to the curb as fast as you can.

He’s Repeatedly Unfaithful

As the saying goes, “once a cheater, always a cheater.” Some women are able to excuse or forgive a single act of infidelity, but the likelihood that the indiscretion will happen again is very likely.

Free yourself from the reins of a repeatedly unfaithful man once and for all. Since he obviously doesn’t want to be in a committed relationship, make it easy for him and show him the door.

You Developed Insecurities Since Being With Him

Were you a once-confident, strong woman before you got into a relationship with this man, but you’ve totally changed how you view yourself? If yes, this is likely due to him making you feel insecure to keep you on a lower level than him.

Insecurities can run deep and cause lasting damage, so it’s imperative that you remove this toxic individual from your life for your own sake.

He Doesn’t Put Forth The Effort

If you are always the one going out of your way to make your relationship work, then you might as well just be single. Your man is showing that he’s not worthy of being with you by not putting forth any effort.

You don’t have to settle for being in a relationship where you are doing all the legwork. Instead, drop him and look for someone who makes it their mission to put your relationship at the top of their list.

You Always Come In Last In His Life

Look, we all have busy schedules and obligations, but you should never consistently come last in your man’s life…ever.

If you man does this he is showing you exactly where you rank in his life in terms of importance, and it’s not high at all. You deserve to be with someone who puts you first as much as possible because that’s the way it should be.

He Dismisses Your Goals & Dreams

Sharing your dreams and goals with your partner takes an incredible amount of vulnerability, which also means that it’s devastating when those dreams and goals are dismissed.

Whether he’s insecure about where he is in his own life, secretly jealous of your passions or simply too self-centered to care, you need to eliminate someone so unsupportive from your life.
