A clingy and jealous girlfriend who controls your life? 8 Dumb Reasons Why Men Stay With Needy Women
Relationships are all about choice, sometimes we choose wrong.
As men, we can appreciate a great woman, someone who is intelligent, well balanced, and who provides us with comfort and emotional support. Sometimes, however, we find clingy, controller, jealous, emotionally unbalanced women. Instead of comfort, they are sources of stress and conflict.
When we realize that we are in such a relationship, it is time to break it and choose again. The alternative is a life of dissatisfaction and never finding a partner with whom you are truly compatible.
Sometimes the break up can be incredibly difficult. This is especially true when dealing with an overly emotional partner who has codependent tendencies (“codependent” refers to excessive neediness, controlling behavior, etc.). What’s worse: Men who are attracted to these types are often shy when it comes to expressing their needs in a relationship. These men can stay for years, long after they have know they should part, but never be able to finish it.
Are you in a relationship that you no longer want?
Are you putting off the inevitable breakup because you can’t figure out the right way to break up? Are you delaying because the time is never right? Stop! You’re wasting your time and hers. Many men stay with women because they simply don’t know how to muster the strength to break up, and/or don’t know how to initiate the break up. Here are some bad answers to why men get stuck in bad relationships:
- “I don’t want to hurt her.”
- “She won’t be able to survive the breakup.”
- “I can’t bear to make her cry.”
- “She’ll go crazy and try to ruin her life”
- “We live together, we have a dog, we share a car, etc.”
- “We are engaged!”
- “Her family is very nice to me” (or “Her father is a family friend/my boss/etc.”)
- “My family expects us to get married.”
These are just a few poor excuses why men stay in stressful and unhappy relationships. None Most of them are valid reasons to stay in a relationship you don’t want.
