He is a total mama's boy who always thinks that everything is going to be fine. Gives a bullshit excuse for why a title isn't important because he always ends up in long term relationships regardless of a title, even though he fucks with your head and tells you that he one minute can't be your boyfriend, then suddenly doesn't want to be sexual anymore. Has waaaay too many insecurities. Is not on the same life path. Ya know, what is with this? For all the bad things, we still want them in our lives. It's so childish on our part. There are really good men out there, but the assholes who seem like weaken little boys make us want to go back and tell them everything is okay, WHEN IT CLEARLY IS NOT. I feel chained to this person. It's a load of crap. How about these—

He will only vacation to the same place every year
He is only affectionate when he’s drunk

He does stupid things in the gym and then wonders why he can’t move his back
He hates dogs
He uses a plastic grocery bag for garbage that sits on the floor
He never introduces you to people you meet up with unexpectedly
