While there are no shortage of reasons to dump a guy – he’s bad in bed, his feet stink, etc. – you can usually work on the little things if you really dig him, right? But how do you know when it’s truly time to cut ties with your man? There are some things that just aren’t OK for any self-respecting female to tolerate. Based on your guy's
Chinese Animal Sign, you can tell a lot about tendencies for bad behavior. Here’s a list of 10 reasons to ditch your dude – and reclaim your dignity:
1. He cheated. Sorry, ladies. There just isn’t a way around this one. I hate to be a naysayer, but if he did it once, he’ll probably do it again. There’s plenty of fish in the sea. Don’t waste your time with a slippery one who can’t be faithful. Horses can be prone to infidelity when they’re bored, so be careful if you’re attached to a hoofed hottie.
2. He lies. Big, small, medium-sized – a lie is a lie. A liar is proof you can’t believe the good things he says, even if you want to. If you’re a Rabbit or Pig, you might turn a blind eye to the people you love, but watch out for Pinocchio. He won’t ever become a real boy, much less a real man, if he’s constantly stretching the truth.
3. He doesn’t let you do certain things or hang out with certain people. Does your boyfriend feel more like a controlling father? Snakes can be a bit jealous, so make sure your man isn’t keeping tabs on you. Last time I checked, we women were granted equal rights. This includes picking our friends and freely going about our business how we choose. Don’t put up with someone who wants to keep you on a leash.
4. He cares about your appearance more than you do. Any man who cares about physical perfection is a dangerous breed. I’m pretty sure most of us are already acutely aware of our flaws, thanks to our image-obsessed culture. Dragons and Roosters can be snobby about appearances – don’t hang around a guy who tells you what to wear or doesn’t let you leave the house without makeup.
5. He’s rude to your friends or your family. One of the biggest red flags is a man who’s rude to the people you care about. Even if he treats you like a princess, disrespecting your posse shows a complete lack of consideration. Tigers and Dogs can sometimes be blunt, so make sure your man curbs his tongue. Otherwise, kick him to the curb.
