He refuses to give you a back massage, has the nerve to cheat on you, or worse, he steals your food when you're not looking.
A lot of us have or have had a shitty boyfriend, or if you haven't had one yet, you will without a doubt have a shitty boyfriend at some point in your life. My heart goes out to all the women who have had their hearts broken because their man refuses to rub their feet or back.
But in case you haven't realised your boyfriend is a nob yet (despite your WhatsApp group chat constantly telling you) or you want to learn how to spot a useless boyfriend for the future, then this is what to look out for:
1. He says stupid shit that ends up hurting your feelings all the time and never thinks before speaking.
2. He doesn't ever do tiny little things to make you smile. Such as random cuddles, running you a bubble bath, or randomly playing with your hair. You know, those tiny things that make you stupidly grin when his back is turned.
3. He doesn't support your career, projects or interests. You need basic support from your partner, someone who inspires you and cares about you, helping you excel in life. He needs to see your work as important as his. If you share something that excites you or makes you proud, and he doesn't get excited about it, then show him the door.
4. He purposely tries to piss you off by sending you texts/Snapchats that will annoy you, and he knows it will. No one should have to deal with someone who is just blatantly spiteful.
5. He gets jealous of you. I'm not talking about him being jealous of other boys here; this is about him being jealous of you. If he's sour when you're doing well, or moans because you earn more than him.
6. He gets jealous of EVERYTHING! The man who smiled at you in the bookstore, or the male waiter who looked at you for a second too long, if he gets the hump and gets jealous over those tiny little things - he's no good for you.
