Forgive Him or Forget Him?

How do you know when enough really is enough? Here’s a guide on deeds that deserve a "forgive him" and those that merit a "forget him".

Hitting you
Nobody deserves to be hit for whatever reason. If your boyfriend inflicts any sort of physical pain on you, don’t think twice about it. Just leave.

Trashing your self-esteem
This ranges from saying you’re good for nothing and that no one else want to go out with you (that’s what he want you to think), to not giving you any compliments at all or calling you names. Sure there aren’t any visible scars, but this hurts just as bad and actually be more damaging.

Cheating on you is a big no-no, regardless of what kind
If your guy (1) has a rep of being a player, (2) dated you while he had a girlfriend and then left her for you, and/or (3) cheated on you before, it’s likely that he’s going to do it again.

Forgetting anniversary an special dates
He forgets your anniversary, shame on him. He forgets your anniversary, your birthday and Valentines Day, shame on you for putting up with him.

Standing you up or always being late
Excuses or no excuses, if you’re high on his priority list, he’d always be raring to be with you. If your guy doesn’t think you’re worth his time, why should he be worth yours?

Emotionally blackmailing you
“If you really love me, then you’d willingly do it with me.” If he has a knack of making threats or playing with your emotions, especially if he blackmails you with suicide, distance yourself from him. Clearly, you’re not the one who can help him, and neither will stay in the relationship.

Getting overly jealous
Trust is important in any relationship. While seeing your guy get a little jealous can sometimes be cute (and flattering!), it’s no longer cute when he’s being overly jealous and bordering on possessive (read: forbids you to go out with friends, get highly suspicious when you talk to your male org mates and group mate, gets angry when you don’t let him know of your where-abouts, check up on you 24/7).

Examine yourself and your own faults, too
There might also be some things in you that he’s been tolerating for too long, and if so, you’ll need to work on them as well. Reassess your relationship and decide whether he is worth giving that second chance.

    These are very useful tips to choose between a hunky psychotic lover or a responsible lovable husband. A belated Merry Christmas, kabayan.
