This day started as usual. We all sat in the office of the scriptwriters of the series - "Sex and the City" and exchanged opinions, told each other about our personal lives, transferring our experiences to the fate of on-screen heroines. And, as has already happened, one of the employees asked to explain the behavior of the man she liked. He behaved somewhat inconsistently, and this confused her. We gladly got down to business and began to discuss what his actions might mean.

And, as before, after a tense analytical discussion, we concluded: our colleague is delightful, and he must have been frightened, because he had never met such a wonderful woman, and therefore trembled and trembled; she just has to give him time. But there was a man in the room with us that day, a script consultant. He appeared in the studio twice a week, helped to develop storylines and looked at the series from a purely male point of view. It was Greg Behrendt.

That very day, Greg listened carefully to the woman's story and our comments, and then turned to her. “Looks like,” he said, “he doesn’t like you that much.”

His words caused us shock, indignation, violent laughter, horror and, above all, bewilderment. However, we immediately felt that perhaps this man was telling the truth. The truth that we have never been revealed, despite a hundred years in total of joint experience of relationships with men, and which we certainly never tried to talk about. "Well, maybe he's right about something," we reluctantly agreed.

"But Greg is unlikely to understand why my future husband, a very busy and complex person, behaves the way he does." — said a friend. And then the conversations began: Greg, like an omniscient Buddha, went from one woman to another, listening to the unhappy stories of their personal lives.

We could find justification for the behavior of all these men, starting with a broken index finger, which is used to dial a phone number, and ending with a difficult childhood. Greg smashed our arguments one by one to smithereens.

As a result of incredible efforts, Greg managed to convince us that if a guy in his right mind really fell for a woman, then nothing would stop him from winning her. And if he is not of sound mind, then why is he needed? This was confirmed by his own experience: he changed partners, was a bad boy, was a good boy and, in the end, fell in love with an amazing woman and married her.

All the people in the story department, and I in particular, had a miraculous insight. For many years I suffered because of men and their behavior, which confused me.

Now I realized that they did not want to confuse me at all. I got myself into trouble. But the point was only that those men didn’t like me that much.

It would seem that such conclusions must inevitably undermine our self-confidence and cause panic among us. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Knowledge is power, and, most importantly, knowledge does not allow you to waste time.

From that day on, I realized that I would save a lot of time if I didn’t sit by the phone for hours waiting for the man I like to call, complain for hours about him to my girlfriends, spend hours wondering if he really wanted to say “I love you and want to to be with you".

Greg reminded us that we are beautiful, intelligent and witty women and should not waste time figuring out why this or that guy does not call us. As Greg said, do not waste your beauty in vain.

It is not easy. We have always been taught to look for the positive in every phenomenon and to be optimistic. But not in this situation. Now just need to see the negative side.

First of all, you should immediately accept as a fact that nothing can work out, and agree that your case is the rule, not the exception. It gives a feeling of intoxicating freedom. But not everyone gets to experience it.

And all because we do the opposite: we go on a date with a man, fall in love with him, and then he does an act that slightly disappoints us.

Otherwise, how can all the excuses invented to justify him correspond to reality? We try to explain why he behaves so strangely, and sometimes we find the most ridiculous reasons, although in fact there is only one reason: he just didn’t hit us.

We have included in the book questions that women ask about real situations in their lives. It contains the most common arguments that they find to justify the behavior of men and therefore cannot put an end to non-existent relationships. Read, enjoy it, and most importantly, learn from other people's experiences and problems.

And if it seems to you that your boyfriend is not crazy about you at all, and you feel that it's time to find out, then think - maybe he doesn't like you that much. Then leave him and go in search of a man who will truly love you.

1. HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU SO MUCH BECAUSE HE DOESN'T ASK YOU ON A DATE.

2. HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU SO MUCH IF HE DOESN'T CALL YOU.

3. HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU SO MUCH IF HE DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT YOU ARE DATED.

4. HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU SO MUCH IF HE DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU.

5. HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU SO MUCH IF HE SLEEPS WITH ANOTHER WOMAN.

6. HE DOES NOT LIKE YOU SO MUCH IF HE ONLY WANTS TO SEE YOU WHEN HE IS DRUNK.

7. HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU SO MUCH IF HE DOESN'T WANT TO MARRY YOU.

8. HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU SO MUCH IF HE LEFT YOU.

9. HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU SO MUCH IF HE JUST GOT AND DISAPPEARED.

10. HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU SO MUCH WHEN HE'S MARRIED (this includes all the other, most incredible reasons why he can't be with you).

11. HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU THAT MUCH IF HE IS BEHAVE LIKE A SELF-LOOKING EGOISTER, A BRAWGGER OR JUST A BIG FUCK.

12. DO NOT BELIEVE HIS STORIES.

Excerpt from Greg Behrendt, Liz Tuccillo

He doesn't like you that much if he doesn't call you - men know how to use the phone.

A man can say: “I have a terrible blockage at work; I recently went through the breakup of a serious relationship, which was a big blow for me; the divorce of my parents left an indelible mark on my soul and brought a lot of new troubles; Now I need to focus on my career.”.

It's easier for us to jump out of the window than to say: "You don't suit me". Stop making excuses for us, our actions speak for themselves: you just don't like us.

1. He doesn't like you that much if he doesn't ask you out on a date.

Because if he likes you, he will definitely make an appointment with you.

1. Justification: "Maybe he doesn't want to ruin our friendship.". I hate to tell you about it, but this excuse does not stand up to scrutiny. And please don't tell me he's just 'afraid'. The only thing he is afraid of is admitting that you are not attracted to him at all.

1. Justification: “He probably doesn’t dare to take the first step.”. You can hint to a man that you have sympathy for him, but you should not help him ask you out on a date. The fact that you smile and playfully wink at him will be enough.

1. Justification: "Maybe he doesn't want to rush things". If a man really likes you, but there are deeply personal reasons why he does not want to rush things, he will immediately tell you about it. He will not leave you in the dark, as he needs confidence that you will not be disappointed and will not disappear from his life.

1. Justification: “But he gave me his phone number.”. Don't let him use cheap tricks to get you to ask him out on a date. If you are interested in a man, he will take care of everything.

1. Justification: “Maybe he forgot about me.”. Be sure you impress him. Now leave everything as it is. If he likes you, he will remember you even after a tsunami, a flood, or the defeat of the football team in the next match.

Remember:

• Any excuse essentially means that you are of little interest to him. Men are not afraid to “destroy friendships.”
• Don't fall for his tricks and don't ask him out on a date. If he likes you, he will invite you.
• If you can find him, then he can find you. If he wants to find you, he will.
• "Hey, let's meet at such-and-such a party / at some bar / at a friend's house" is not a date invitation.
• You are good enough to be asked out on a date.

He just doesn't like you: the whole truth about men

The book is dedicated to all the charming ladies whose stories inspired us to create it.

There are several people without whom this book would not exist. First of all, we thank the extraordinarily talented Sex and the City writers Cindy Chapek, Jenny Beaks, Aimee B Harris, Julia Sweeney, Julie Rottenberg, and Eliza Zaritsky (they wrote the amazing episode that first got us thinking about the book), and, of course, our wonderful boss - Michael Patrick King. We have the warmest feelings for these people and are grateful to them for their help, generosity and ability to look at any situation with humor.

We thank everyone who actively supported the crazy idea to write this book - John Melfi, Sarah Condon, Richard Oren, as well as those who collaborated with HBO. Super agent and friend Greg Keivik, who works at ICM, helped us with the publication of the book. Many thanks to Julia James for moral support. Our deepest gratitude goes to press agent Andy Barzvi, who first took this book seriously and then managed to sell it profitably. We say "thank you" to our editor, philologist Patrick Price, a real gentleman.

Thanks also to the men and women who filled out the questionnaires, told stories from their lives, asked questions and did not allow us to lie while writing the book. We sincerely thank all our friends and family, especially Shirley Tuccillo and Kristen Behrendt, for their tireless support and enthusiasm.

Finally, we thank Amiera Ruotola Berendt for her collaboration: the fire, sense of humor, talent, love, and sex appeal that this woman possesses make this book so amazing.

The stories told in this book serve as illustrative examples. They are not based on real life events. specific people. Whatever you think, we did not try to publicly ridicule our friends, enemies or former partners in it.

(However, we do not deny that such a thought may have occurred to us.)

Foreword by Liz

This day started as usual. We all sat in the office of the scriptwriters of the series - "Sex and the City" and exchanged opinions, told each other about our personal lives, transferring our experiences to the fate of on-screen heroines. And, as has already happened, one of the employees asked to explain the behavior of the man she liked. He behaved somewhat inconsistently, and this confused her. We gladly got down to business and began to discuss what his actions might mean. And, as before, after a tense analytical discussion, we concluded: our colleague is delightful, and he must have been frightened, because he had never met such a wonderful woman, and therefore trembled and trembled; she just has to give him time. But that day, there was a man in the room with us - a script consultant. He showed up at the studio twice a week, helped develop storylines, and viewed the show from a purely male perspective. It was Greg Behrendt. That very day, Greg listened carefully to the woman's story and our comments, and then turned to her. "Looks like," he said, "he doesn't like you that much."

His words caused us shock, indignation, violent laughter, horror and, above all, bewilderment. However, we immediately felt that perhaps this man was telling the truth. The truth that we have never been revealed, despite a hundred years in total of joint experience of relationships with men, and which we certainly never tried to talk about. "Well, maybe he's right about something," we reluctantly agreed.

"But Greg is unlikely to understand why my future husband, a very busy and complex person, behaves the way he does." - said a friend. And then the conversations began: Greg, like an omniscient Buddha, went from one woman to another, listening to the unhappy stories of their personal lives. We could find justification for the behavior of all these men, starting with a broken index finger, which is used to dial a phone number, and ending with a difficult childhood. Greg smashed our arguments one by one to smithereens. As a result of incredible efforts, Greg managed to convince us that if a guy in his right mind really fell for a woman, then nothing would stop him from winning her. And if he is not of sound mind, then why is he needed? This was confirmed by his own experience: he changed partners, was a bad boy, was a good boy and eventually fell in love with an amazing woman and married her.

All the people in the story department, and I in particular, had a miraculous insight. For many years I suffered because of men and their behavior, which confused me. Now I realized that they did not want to confuse me at all. I got myself into trouble. But the point was only that those men didn’t like me that much.

It would seem that such conclusions must inevitably undermine our self-confidence and cause panic among us. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Knowledge is power, and, most importantly, knowledge does not allow you to waste time. From that day on, I realized that I would save a lot of time if I didn’t sit by the phone for hours waiting for the man I like to call, complain for hours about him to my girlfriends, spend hours wondering if he really wanted to say “I love you and want to to be with you". Greg reminded us that we are beautiful, intelligent and witty women and should not waste time figuring out why this or that guy does not call us. As Greg said, do not waste your beauty in vain.

It is not easy. We have always been taught to look for the positive in every phenomenon and to be optimistic. But not in this situation. Now just need to see the negative side. First of all, you should immediately accept as a fact that nothing can work out, and agree that your case is the rule, not the exception. It gives a feeling of intoxicating freedom. But not everyone gets to experience it. And all because we do the opposite: we go on a date with a man, fall in love with him, and then he does an act that slightly disappoints us. This act is followed by a series of others that are no less disappointing. Then comes a period of super-inventive excuses that last for weeks or even months, and it never occurs to us that this wonderful man that we like so much has long turned into an unfortunate cripple. Otherwise, how can all the excuses invented to justify him correspond to reality? We try to explain why he behaves so strangely, and sometimes we find the most ridiculous reasons, although in fact there is only one reason: he just didn’t hit us.

We have included in the book questions that women ask about real situations in their lives. It contains the most common arguments that they find to justify the behavior of men and therefore cannot put an end to non-existent relationships. Read, enjoy it, and most importantly, learn from other people's experiences and problems. And if it seems to you that your boyfriend is not at all crazy about you, and you feel that it's time to find out everything, then think - maybe he doesn't like you that much. Then leave him and go in search of a man who will truly love you.

A man can say: “I have a terrible blockage at work; I recently went through the breakup of a serious relationship, which was a big blow for me; the divorce of my parents left an indelible mark on my soul and brought a lot of new troubles; Now I need to focus on my career.”. It's easier for us to jump out of the window than to say: "You don't suit me". Stop making excuses for us, our actions speak for themselves: you just don't like us.

1. He doesn't like you that much if he doesn't ask you out on a date.

Because if he likes you, he will definitely make an appointment with you.

1. Justification: "Maybe he doesn't want to ruin our friendship.". I hate to tell you about it, but this excuse does not stand up to scrutiny. And please don't tell me he's just 'afraid'. The only thing he is afraid of is admitting that you are not attracted to him at all.

1. Justification: “He probably doesn’t dare to take the first step.”. You can hint to a man that you have sympathy for him, but you should not help him ask you out on a date. The fact that you smile and playfully wink at him will be enough.

1. Justification: "Maybe he doesn't want to rush things". If a man really likes you, but there are deeply personal reasons why he does not want to rush things, he will immediately tell you about it. He will not leave you in the dark, as he needs confidence that you will not be disappointed and will not disappear from his life.

1. Justification: “But he gave me his phone number.”. Don't let him use cheap tricks to get you to ask him out on a date. If you are interested in a man, he will take care of everything.

1. Justification: “Maybe he forgot about me.”. Be sure you impress him. Now leave everything as it is. If he likes you, he will remember you even after a tsunami, a flood, or the defeat of the football team in the next match.

Remember:

• Any excuse essentially means that you are of little interest to him. Men are not afraid to “destroy friendships.”
• Don't fall for his tricks and don't ask him out on a date. If he likes you, he will invite you.
• If you can find him, then he can find you. If he wants to find you, he will.
• "Hey, let's meet at such-and-such a party / at some bar / at a friend's house" is not a date invitation.
• You are good enough to be asked out on a date.

2. He doesn't like you that much if he doesn't call you.

Men know how to use the phone.

1. Justification: “But he is so often on the road.”. Take note: the man who is interested in you wants to spend time with you.

1. Justification: “But his head is occupied with completely different things.”. The most important question here is: “Is it okay if a man forgot to call me?” I answer: "No." He should never forget that he promised to call you. Don't you expect the kind of guy who would rather forget about everything that happened in his life than forget about you?

1. Justification: "He doesn't say what he really thinks". Here's the problem: At the end of a date or phone call, many men tell you what they think you'd like to hear. They think it's better than nothing. So if the guy you're dating doesn't call you despite all his promises, is it worth getting hung up on? After all, you need a man who can at least keep his word.

1. Justification: "But he's very busy.". The word "busy" is complete nonsense, it is usually used by donkeys. The word "busy" in one gulp can destroy any relationship. Extremely "busy" may seem like a compelling excuse, but in reality, behind this concept there is always a man who was not interested in calling you.

Remember:

• If he doesn't call you, then he doesn't care about you.
• If he makes promises and then fails you over small things, rest assured that the same thing will happen when it comes to more serious things.
• You should not build a relationship with someone who is not able to keep his word.
• If he is unwilling to make the slightest effort to calm you down and smooth out the brewing conflicts in your relationship, then he simply does not respect your feelings and needs.
• You deserve a fucking call.

3. He doesn't like you that much if he doesn't acknowledge the fact that you're dating.

Spending time together doesn't mean dating.

1. Justification: “He just went through a painful breakup.”. Beware of the word "friend". It is often used by men or women who are in love with these men to justify their most piggy behaviour.

1. Justification: "But we do date". Men, just like women, seek to find a sense of security and security when they see a relationship become serious. One common way to achieve this is to lay claim to a loved one. A man who is truly infatuated with you will want you to belong to him completely. And what's wrong with that?

1. Justification: "It's better than nothing". Let me remind you: you need a man who wants you, calls you regularly, and makes you feel like the sexiest and most desirable woman in the world. A relationship in which you meet a man once every two weeks or once a month, without feeling any love or sympathy from him, can last a day, or a week, or a month. But can they last a lifetime?

Remember:

• Men talk about their feelings, even if you refuse to listen or do not believe their confessions. "I'm not ready for a serious relationship" means "I'm not ready for a serious relationship with you."
• "Better than nothing" should not suit you.
• If you don't understand what's going on in your relationship, then it's okay to slow down and ask him a few questions.
• There is one guy in the world who wants to tell everyone and everyone that he is your boyfriend. Stop fooling around, go find him.

4. He doesn't like you that much if he doesn't want to have sex with you.

If a man likes a woman, he always wants to touch her.

Dear ladies, you have already met and will meet a great many men. I hate to tell you this, but some of these men will just decide you're not their type. But the truth, simple, cruel and bitter, is clear as daylight: you do not attract him, and he does not want to hurt you.

1. Justification: “He is afraid that he will be hurt again”. Is he afraid? Yes, he is afraid to offend you. That is why he did not clarify the situation with your relationship. He loves you as a friend. If he loved you as a woman, he would not be able to control himself and would have a whirlwind romance with you.

1. Justification: "I drive him so crazy that he doesn't show any interest". Of course, many people have had to suffer in the past, and now they are afraid of a serious relationship. But you know what? If a man really likes you, nothing will stop him from achieving you, even the fear of a serious relationship. If he's really in big trouble about it, he might go for pointless treatment, but he'll never keep you in the dark.

1. Justification: "But it's so great". It used to be that a woman refuses to have sex when she wants to gain power over a man. It seems that the representatives of the stronger sex also learned to use it. If a guy, lying on the couch with you, joyfully eats cookies and watches a movie, then you simply do not attract him.

1. Justification: “He finds a lot of explanations for everything”. You can believe his excuses if you want, but first ask yourself a couple of questions. Are you satisfied with such relationships? The most important thing here is do you want to feel this way, perhaps for the rest of your life? Sex is also one of the greatest pleasures a person can experience.

Remember:

• People talk about who they really are all the time. If a man tells you that monogamy is not for him, then there is no reason not to believe him.
• Communication is great. But if communication is combined with sex - it's even better. Call a spade a spade, or rather, call a friend a friend. And find yourself a friend who can't resist touching you.
• If you have low self-esteem, then you will have to spend more time improving it than looking for a new boyfriend.

5. He doesn't like you that much if he sleeps with another woman.

There is no truly compelling excuse for cheating.

1. Justification: "He has no excuse and he knows it". Change is bad. And the inability to explain why you cheated on a person is even worse. If one red flag isn't enough for you, how about two? Don't date men who don't know why they did something.

1. Justification: "But I got fat". I am completely sure that you need to lose 90 kg in the form of your worthless boyfriend, and not at all the twenty kilos that he talks about. Get rid of this loser immediately, or I myself will come to your house and throw him out of there.

1. Justification: "He needs more sex than me". There is no excuse for him cheating on you. Dot. There are many ways to solve this rather common problem that arises from the difference in sexual appetites.

1. Justification: "But at least he knew her". I explain in other words: it doesn’t matter if he loves you or not. He has made it clear to you how he feels about your novel. He went along with his feelings and arranged everything so that he was alone with another woman, kiss her, take off her clothes and do everything else that usually happens when two adults have sex.

Remember:

• There is no excuse for change. Let me repeat: there is no excuse for cheating. Now say it yourself: there is no excuse for cheating.
• The only thing you are responsible for in the moral fall of another person is your own feelings.
• Change is change. It does not matter with whom he cheated on you and how many times this happened.
• Deceivers are never happy. (Because they are all bastards.)
• An unfaithful man first of all cheats on himself, since he cannot build a normal relationship with you.

6. He doesn't like you that much if he only wants to see you when he's drunk.

If he likes you, he will seek to see you when his brain is not clouded by alcohol fumes.

1. Justification: "But I like it when he's drunk". If, sitting in a bar, he drunk says something like: “Baby, you are so beautiful!” and at the same time hugs you a little tighter than it should be, then it’s time to learn something: you can’t believe everything that a man says when he is drunk. Do you really need this one?

1. Justification: “At least he doesn’t drink the strongest drinks.”. Don't be fooled. A guy who doesn't fall off his feet and piss in his pants from drinking shouldn't get away with silently turning off his brains to others, more the easy way every time you are together.

Remember:

• His words mean nothing if he said them while drunk. "I love you" or the like, spoken under the influence of any drink stronger than grape juice, has no power in court and in real life.
• The use of alcohol and drugs is not the way to the innermost feelings of a person.
• You deserve a man who doesn't need to be pumped up to spend time with you.

7. He doesn't like you that much if he doesn't want to marry you.

Each of your former men who told you that he does not want to marry, or does not believe in marriage, or he has doubts about marriage, someday he will certainly bind himself with sacred bonds. Just not with you.

Remember:

• "Does not want to marry" and "Does not want to marry me" are two different things. Make sure that you correctly determine which category your chosen one belongs to.
• If you have opposing views on marriage, then there are sure to be other issues that will lead to disagreement.
• If nothing changes in your relationship, then what are you waiting for?
• Somewhere on earth there is a man who wants to marry you.

8. He doesn't like you that much if he dumped you.

1. Justification: "I need him". Do not be satisfied that he is bored without you. He must be bored. You are so unique. And yet he, as he was, and remained the man who left you.

1. Justification: “After such a decision, it is much easier”. There is one thing that a young man will never do if he cannot imagine his life without you: he will never leave you.

1. Justification: "But everyone does it". Oh yes, sex after a breakup is not bad at all, because it's great to sleep with someone you know. It's also great to sleep with someone you have strong feelings for.

1. Justification: "But then he wants to come back". Unfortunately, after you break up, your boyfriend starts looking for something better. And when he fails, he is seized by loneliness and returns "home". It doesn't sound like he likes you very much. He just really doesn't like being alone.

1. Justification: "I refuse to accept the fact that he left me". I'm sorry he left you. By trying again and again to get him back, you make your ex-boyfriend think: “What the hell did I find in this crazy bitch?” Remember one simple piece of advice, ladies: always be on top. Never go crazy.

Remember:

• You can't prevent a breakup by talking. Debating won't help here. Termination of relations is a final decision, and it is not subject to appeal.
• Sex after a breakup doesn't mean you're back together.
• You don't need to remind him how great you are.
• He can take care of his cat himself.
• Somewhere, a young man is waiting for you, who will be just happy that you did not get back together with your terribly nasty ex-boyfriend.

9. He doesn't like you that much if he just up and disappeared.

Well, everything is very clear here. He made it clear to you that you are so not his type that he didn't even bother to leave you any news about himself.

1. Justification: "Maybe he died". There is nothing worse than not getting a response from a loved one. The only reason why you should write to him again is the desire to receive an explicit refusal, now in verbal form. Have you forgotten? You are too busy with your fans and you don't have time for such nonsense.

1. Justification: “So what, it turns out, I can’t even quarrel with him one last time?” At first, it may seem that you will feel better if you call him and make a scandal. You may feel like you let him get away with it. But trust me, nothing you want to tell him will come as a revelation to him. And you already have something to spend your time on.

1. Justification: "But I just want an answer". Do you deserve to know what really happened? Undoubtedly. I can tell you what happened: you dated a terrible person.

Remember:

• Perhaps he really is in the hospital, suffering from amnesia, but most likely he is just not that interested in you.
• The absence of an answer is his answer to you.
• Don't give him the opportunity to reject you again.
• Let his mother arrange scandals for him. And you are too busy for that.
• There is no mystery here: he just left your life, and he was not worthy of you.

10. He doesn’t like you that much if he is married (this includes all the other, most incredible reasons)

If you cannot love each other freely and openly, then that is not true love.

Remember:

• He is married.
• If he doesn't belong to you wholly and completely, then he belongs to her.
• There are a lot of cool and gentle single men in the world. Try to meet one of them.
• You are not easy to forget. Let him find you when he is ready for a new relationship.

11. He doesn’t like you that much if he acts like a selfish egoist, braggart or just like a big jerk

If he really loves you, he will do his best to make you happy.

1. Justification: “But he really wants to get better.”. loving people they try to treat each other well and even enjoy showing tenderness and care for their loved ones. If your partner is very bad at this, then in the end you reap the same benefits as in the situation called "He doesn't like you that much."

1. Justification: “But he was just raised that way.”. It doesn't have to be that he's crazy about your CD collection. It doesn't have to be that he likes all your shoes. But any full-fledged and prudent man is simply obliged to make an effort on himself and fall in love with your friends and your family.

1. Justification: "But he will change". Short temper is not a temporary problem. People who yell at others simply don't know how to control themselves and need psychiatric help. People who yell at others feel they have a right to do so.

1. Justification: “After all, what matters is what happens between us alone.”.Why be with a person who needs to humiliate you in order to feel his own superiority? Especially in front of friends! And why should you pay attention to the fact that he treats you better when you are alone?

1. Justification: "But he's just trying to help". It's very hard to believe what you deserve true love when someone is trying their best to convince you that you don’t deserve anything in this life at all. But, as I see it, all the exhortations to part with him still do not work on you. So for starters, just realize that you are too good for such a relationship.

Remember:

• You should not complicate an already difficult life by sharing it with a person who gives you a lot of trouble.
• You are worthy of such a man who in any situation will behave with you as it should. (Don't forget that you should treat him well too.)
• Assholes belong in the circus, not in your apartment.
• By getting rid of useless people, you will have a lot of free time that you can spend on what gives you pleasure.

12. So what do you do?

Here you ask: “What if there is no next novel at all?” And we will answer: “Send these terrible thoughts on a long voyage on a ship that will surely sink, because it is destined to crash on the reefs of the Isle of Sorrow. And we don't want you on this ship."

It had to be written about.

Someone had to explain to women what is really behind the actions and words of men!

You are waiting for a call, but the phone is silent.

He is busy?!

Year after year, you expect to receive a marriage proposal.

He just wants to "sort out his feelings"!

Are you tuned in serious relationship- and for him it all comes down to a "light affair."

Is he afraid that he will get hurt again?!

You make excuses for him.

You take the first, and the second, and the tenth step...
