6 Possible Reasons Why You Have A Mean Boyfriend
By: Kratika Mon, 07 Feb 2022 12:07:47
Some guys are just bad boyfriends, and you can’t change them or help them because they don’t want to change. And the more you try to help them become a better person, the more mean and annoying they get. But, that’s not always the case either.
In almost all other cases, it could be a lack of communication or several other little reasons that can be sorted with time. This will also give you a much better understanding of each other’s wants and needs.
While we’re not suggesting by any means that you should put up with a boyfriend who is mean and nasty to you, you may want to do some investigating.
Is there something going on in his life? Does he need support? Or, is he simply a rather nasty person who you really need to move away from?
# He’s not serious
Is he really serious about your relationship? You can never tell unless he says it himself, but perhaps your boyfriend is an annoying pig who isn’t really serious about you or the relationship.
In that case, you really need to hang up your gloves on this one and move on. You can’t force someone to be serious about a relationship if they don’t want to be.
# He’s playing you
Your boyfriend could be a bad boy potential who’s just toying with your feelings by being unpredictable. And he knows that the more he pushes you away, the more it’ll leave you confused and addicted to him.
In this case, ask yourself whether you want to continue dealing with his mind games. Because that’s all they are. He’s not man enough to talk about what’s going on, so he confuses you instead.
# Lack of communication
You think he’s mean, but have you ever really voiced your thoughts to him?
For all you know, your boyfriend probably has no idea you’re even upset with him. You need to tell him how you feel.
Maybe he’s a pretty off-handed kind of person and he doesn’t realize how he’s coming over to those around him. If you don’t tell him, he’ll never know!
# He has an addiction
If a guy isn’t in control of his own life, chances are, he’s addicted to something and puts his addiction before you.
It could be a video game, or something much worse. Watch his behavior and see if this could be an issue for your mean boyfriend.
# His mother didn’t teach him any manners
It’s true, most guys just look at the way their fathers behave at home and do everything just like their fathers do. If your boyfriend’s dad is a slob or his mother didn’t teach him his manners, he probably thinks he’s the perfect guy already because he’s just like his dad. In this case, he doesn’t know any different.
If you want to make a change, you’re going to have to show him what’s going on and help him to change. But, that has to be his choice.
# He’s using you
This is frustratingly sad, but the guy you love may only be using you to get something from you.
He may want you as his arm candy to show you off, or it may just be the sex too. If this is the case, we suggest waving goodbye to this good-for-nothing user immediately.
