This is why I don’t have boyfriends anymore.
Snarky answers aside, I’ve been there so many times. People talk about the three strikes and you’re out rule. When it comes to dating guys (based on anecdotes from my own experience and my friends), it’s so many more than three strikes. It’s like, you forgive the person again and again when they do stuff like this, as your respect for them is gradually eroded. Then one day there’s a moment of clarity, where you realize this person is not going to change their behavior, with or without your help, any time soon. What they need is more maturity. Best case scenario, they will get there after years of life experience, but it may never happen. It’s finally time to move on.
That’s reading a lot into an open-ended question, but that’s basically what goes through my mind now. There is a guy I really respect, and he put it this way. “The world doesn’t make them [young men] grow up anymore.”
