Signs that You're Dating the Wrong Guy

Are you feeling that maybe the guy you're spending time with isn't the best one for you to be with? Well, many women find themselves in the same situation as you. Although everything seems fine in your relationship, there are moments when you simply feel that you deserve more than that. However, you are afraid not to ruin everything and lose the one you love. In the end, you'll find yourself making lots of compromises in vain. Here are a few signs that you're dating Mr. Very Wrong:

You can't see yourself with him 10 years down the road.

Usually when you love someone and you know that he's the one, you make future plans and imagine that you're going to spend the rest of your life next to him. If you can't see yourself with someone down the road, most times, you are in a bad relationship. However, this rule doesn't apply if you met the guy recently. You must wait to get to know him in order to make a decision.

You don't feel good about yourself

Any relationship you have is meant to bring happiness in your life and not to make you feel uncomfortable. A person in a good relationship usually has a positive self esteem. If your boyfriend makes you feel insecure and exacerbates your self doubts, maybe you should think twice before wasting your precious time with him. If most of the time you're spending together is stressful or argumentative, move on and look for someone who really deserves you.

He tries to keep you away from family and friends

A man who tries to isolate you from the ones you love might have an abusive personality. Often he will try to explain his acts as signs of his love and you may be flattered at first; as time goes on, his behavior will become more severe you might find yourself as being controlled and manipulated. With time, you may not be allowed to make personal decisions and he will force you to ask for permission to leave the house.

He's jobless or has some very bad habits

If the man you are dating is unable to get a job and deal with his financial problems, then your relationship is in jeopardy. If he's using drugs, alcohol or other substances to feel better, then he's really not into you. Don't try to compete with such substances for your man's affection-you will lose.

He's cheating you often

Maybe you have an open relationship and you're ready to close your eyes when he goes with another woman. But this is not the best way to build a long term relationship or a family. Someday you might get tired of his sexual affairs and leave him or he might fall in love with someone else and go away from you. Even if you're not jealous, some day you might ask yourself where is your husband when you need him the most.

He describes himself as a bad guy

Some women are excited to date bad guys who brag about their dangerous acts. However, if you want to have a quiet family life and stability, you should stay away from this kind of men. Such a person surely has an anti-social personality, as he tries to be different from the others through his criminal behavior.

Your personalities are too different

Many people get along although they have different personalities and different ways of thinking. However, personalities clash to the point of making a relationship impossible. If you're partner likes to party and have fun all the day long, while you're a very relaxed person who doesn't like to go out too often, you might not succeed as a couple. Of course, he might encourage you to have fun more often, while you can make him stay home from time to time, but this depends only on how flexible you are.

    This is a really great article! I am somewhat new to AC and just checking out some other peoples work! I (like some of the others below me) like to think that not ALL men are like that. HOPEFULLY!

    Excellent points, most especially when he tries to isolate you. As an abused child, I became an abused wife and had to work a very long time to get "healthy". Good work.

    So glad I'm not single anymore. I'm going to share this on Digg. It's a great Valentine's Day topic.
