While their level of just how awful they can be fluctuates, their inner jerk is always there. Even if you’ve yet to personally come face to face with their jerky side, if you witness them being a jerk to their friends or family, then something is up. You do not, like ever, want to date someone who is a jerk to their mom. If you want to see just how jerky the person you’re dating really is, then don’t let any inappropriate behavior slide.

The beautiful and divinely inspired truth about life is that we are all on our own journeys to evolve soulfully for our individual greater good, and therefore the highest good of all beings. Even when we think we see what would be best for someone, we must allow them to find what is best for them and support them regardless, unconditional love means loving without judgement. Holding space for them is the most powerful thing we can do to support their growth and finding their own desire for change, eliminating any judgement that arises in you regarding it. If you are just looking to get into as many relationships as possible, then you probably don’t give a crap and are fine with everything above. Let me tell you exactly how I felt in every single relationship I had where a guy wasn’t a good guy and used manipulation to win me over.

Guys who manipulate you are saying ALL the right things to you, so it’s no wonder that I thought THIS guy was the perfect guy for me. And, he was confident in himself as he wooed me into his life.

She thought she was the main character in the husband’s life, but got a reality smack down. Get in your husband’s arse about boundaries. And now that I’m to this point of this post, I’m baffled that you’re even needing to ask the collective if AITA.

If it’s that you don’t like the person, figure out why. Have a heart-to-heart in which you ask your friend’s help in understanding this other person, and ask yourself if your dislike has anything to do with your own baggage. I’m not trying to generalize, but most of my female friends talk about past boyfriends, dissecting why their relationships didn’t work. From “he just doesn’t get me” to “we’re too different” to “why did we stay together THAT long,” women tend to overanalyze past relationships.
