FIVE SIGNS HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU....
You’ve been ignoring the signs for far too long. And while your mother, your close friends, and the entire church usher board all want you to move on to something new, you continue to faithfully stand by the “love” of your life.
Now ordinarily I would applaud your decision to be your own person, but even I have to question your decision. Why? Well, it’s painfully obvious that you could do so much better for yourself. But since you continue to turn a blind eye to the truth, it’s time I shared the following “5 Signs They Aren’t Good Enough For You.” Maybe this will serve as your official wake up call.
No. 1 - You always have to dumb down your conversations.
No one wants to spend their entire day discussing quantum physics or complex tax codes. But wouldn’t it be nice to have a significant other capable of occasionally stimulating your mind? For example, remember that time you expressed frustration about the government bailout, and the only response you got was, “Dang, who got locked up?”
Well that unfortunate exchange should have served as a clear indicator that your mental needs would never be met in this relationship.
MY STORY: He talked more about gossip sites and other people then trying to get to know me. Another one spent the entire meal explaining the rules of baseball. yawn.
He knows what he knows and don't you dare challenge him further. Ya right. NEXT!
No. 2 - You always have to encourage them to try new things.
The reality that your significant other lacks a natural curiosity about life is eerily reminiscent of the time I had to share a bed with Whoopi Goldberg (long story). In both instances, there was a noticeable absence of any desire to explore or try new things. But while my night with Whoopi was just a singular incident, your lover’s dispassionate approach to life appears to be the story of their existence. Maybe it’s time you found someone who’s just as excited as you are about living life to the fullest.

MY STORY: The worst! closed mindedness is on the same level as terrible teeth! He said he would never travel outside of the U.S because he can get everything here. Really? Brazil, Japan, Greece, France, Australia, Ghana, Egypt - no interest? NEEEXT!!
No. 3 - They have poor hygiene.
“I’ll clean that mess up later.”
“I’ll take a shower when I get back.”
“It was only cereal, so I don’t have to brush my teeth.”
“I’m late for work, so I’ll just keep these underwear on.”
You would think that cleanliness was some form of inhumane torture the way your significant other consistently avoids it. Now we all have our messy, “I don’t care” moments in life … myself included. But this seems to be a recurring theme with your lover. So the question now becomes, how can you honestly expect someone to properly care for your relationship if they don’t even care enough about something as basic as their own hygiene?
MY STORY: never been with a crufty doode. whew...
No. 4 - They get in trouble with the law.
Is it just me, or is your significant other always having some sort of “misunderstanding” with the police? Could it be that they’re just unlucky? Or do they have a fundamental problem with following the rules? If your answer is the latter, then it’s time to do some serious soul searching. At the end of the day, a relationship is simply an agreement (filled with rules) that is made between two people. So if your mate can’t follow the basic laws of the land, then can you reasonably expect them to abide by the rules of an exclusive relationship? Just food for thought.
MY STORY: this is a whoooooole other post...
No. 5 – The only thing going for them is looks.
Let’s be perfectly clear about something: you have a lot going for yourself. You’re smart, funny, goal-oriented, you have good health insurance … you’re just an overall well-rounded person. But when you begin to look at your significant other—well, once you get past their looks—there’s not much to them. Just looks.
Here’s the bottom line. If physical attraction is the only thing that’s keeping you in the relationship, then you may need to rethink your dating philosophy. As Michael Jackson’s nose, and Lil Kim’s cheeks and chin can attest, looks can change overnight.
MY STORY: Yea, that may have got him in the door, but see points 1 and 2.
Cute don't keep a connection. quote me.
The Fly Guy Moral Disclaimer- My thoughts should not be viewed as an attempt to maliciously attack your relationship. Instead, use this occasion as an opportunity to reflect back on the status of your current union. If you find any validity in what I’ve said, then I think you know what needs to be done. But if you still feel like this is the person for you—even after all of these signs—then by all means, follow your heart. Just don’t ask to borrow any money when they start discussing the bailout again.
