Lowering your self-esteem to save a dying relationship isn’t worth it. There are valid reasons to dump him.
Let’s face it, when you’re dating someone it’s not always going to be pixies and roses. As time progresses, you tend to find out things about your man which lead you to ask yourself: “Why am I still in this relationship?”
If you’re in a relationship that’s going nowhere, you may feel hard-pressed to make it work out. But sometimes, working things out isn’t necessarily worth it. Especially when it brings down your self-esteem to an alltime low.
Five valid reasons to dump him:
- He never calls you. That’s a sign right there he’s not interested. If he’s going through a tough time, you can make allowances. However, if, in the whole course of your relationship he’s never called you, then he’s probably not at all interested.
- You’ve been with him for six months and he’s never referred to you as his girlfriend. This is another tell-tale sign that you’re just a glorified booty call. After six months time, if you’ve been exclusive, then you’ve earned the right to be his girlfriend. Especially if you want to be.
- He doesn’t respect you. This is a big one. If he doesn’t respect you or your wishes, then that behavior will only continue. Give him an ultimatum. If he continues to disrespect you and disregard your feelings, then it’s time to say adios.
- You’ve been together two years and he hasn’t said he loves you. This is a big one. It’s common knowledge it takes men longer to fall in love than women (in general). However, if he can’t muster those three little words after two years, he probably never will – because he probably doesn’t feel them.
- He’s cheated on you. This is perhaps the most valid of all. Most men who cheat do it more than once. This is a huge form of disrespect to you and the relationship. And it will possibly continue after marriage. If he cheats – especially if he knows you know – dump him. He obviously doesn’t respect you.
These five valid reasons to dump him are often disregarded by the female populace. However, they’re valid and logical. They’re also ways in which he walks all over you (whether he realizes it or not). Give him a chance to make things right. But if he doesn’t? Give yourself some credit. Be logical and take control. You’ll feel better in the long run.

Great advice! no one needs to lower themselves for any reason. the more this is known maybe we won’t even need to discuss it anymore. Then we all can be treated as huumans and equals with out being Judged. Always, gary La Buda

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Gary. That’s definitely my creed. Nobody — man or woman — should be in a relationship where they’re not respected or treated right.
