How do I avoid another man who will treat me badly?

When you are looking for a man to be in your life, observe him for a long time, and see what he is like. Date him, get to know him, and if red flags come up, you know he's not the one. I, myself, have a problem with choosing women because you and I are natured alike, and I tend to pick losers...so I proceed slowly now, and hope for the best. By the way, don't put yourself down.....I'll bet you're a very pretty lady....and good natured too. You will make some man an excellent wife. Good Luck!!

forget the immature man. Move on and find someone else that won't treat you like a child.\n\nAnd he is NOT a gentleman is he treats you like that!!!!

Beware of the two face people, stay away from them because if they talk bad about another person to you and then turn around and be nice to them when they are around, they will do the same thing to you.

You had a real loser, and I want to assure you, not all men are that way. There are some, just like there are some bad women, but the vast majority of guys I know, respect their women very highly. I raised two boys myself, and I taught them from an early age that ladies are special, and must be treated with dignity and respect.... treat them the way you want to be treated. For a guy to treat you the way he did, he is a disgrace to the male gender. I apologize to you, on his behalf. I am sorry Mam!

I don't do that.  I've been there done that.  I only want to be with someone who will go out of their way for me.  Someone who will treat me like a lady.  Someone I know I can depend on and trust.  "If you treat me like a queen I will treat you like a king."  Not you personally, but that's one of my sayings.  There is nothing worse then being in a relationship with no trust and they treat you bad.  I'm better then that and I will not settle for less.  When I was young I dated jerks, but now that I'm older I want a gentleman.  It comes with age.

Please!\n\nThink about it!\n\nIt doesn't matter how he feels about you.  You deserve better.\n\nYou should know that a man isn't a great catch when he 1) has treated you this badly and 2) would abandon his child's mother so easily.\n\nPlease, think about how life with a person might be in 10 years when they are bored with their lives.\n\nPlease, remember, that the way a person treats others, is the way they will eventually treat you.\n\nThis man may be best off alone.

Dear One,\nThe issue here is why do you think you deserve to be treated this way?Why is it that you continue to accept these men into your life.Just because opportunities present themselves doesn't mean we have to accept them.It's OK to want better things and treatment from your partner,actually demand it for yourself.Don't be afraid to be alone for a while and learn to love yourself before you choose again.Remember,if you wouldn't treat yourself poorly,why on earth would you allow someone else to?

it's hard to do the right thing and X out the a**holes from your life when all your life you were subjected to them so it's hard to say to yourself "i deserve better"..but do it anyway!  Don't allow them into your life, don't look for anyone.  Take care of yourself.  Go to school, get a job...focus on what you can do for you.  If you enjoy a man's company, then enjoy his company but know when to say OK i have to take care of me now.

Ignore him. If he knows he is getting to you he will only get worse.

wow he sounds like a real ass.  please find another guy to like, who will treat you nicely and how you should be treated (instead of being USED by the guy you "love")

Ask someone who is rough and tough to approach him to tell him not to make this sort of remarks in future. Let that guy tell him you are no longer his and tell him to stay out of your life. In the meantime, get closer to your new boyfriend for as long as it is neccessary. Use whatever means to avoid him.

They may feel bad later on, but I doubt you will ever know it. Unless they end up in a 12 step program and decide to make ammends. I have been hurt a dozen times and never had an apology. What I have done is remember to keep my side of the street clean and learn from my mistakes. The right guy will come along, but you need to be in the right space to deal with him. That means taking care of yourself and not being to co-dependent, not to mention, guys will have more respect for you if you keep your independance and don't let them walk all over you. I had to learn this the hard way! Good luck.

move as far away from him as possible i'm sure your friends will be there for you if not then find new friends do whats best for you and your child feel better get well and NEVER let a guy treat you like that NEVER let any one abuse you physically or emotionally be strong us women need to stick together and let all jerks in this world know that we will not let them hurt us anymore.

Talk to him if he's a good guy he'll listen, take a risk if you have to, the worst thing that can happen is he'll say no or if you want to be sly about it have a friend or pay off one of his to do some undercover work for you!

You sound like you have a certain man in mind and he might very well be that heartbreaker cheat you describe but I assure you there are decent guys out there and soon enough you will find one that makes you forget about this piece of work. Don't hate all men for what one or two do.

Wow!  Get out, This man is only going to bring you misery.  He is not going to change.  Are you willing to live like this.  Don't you want to be #1, and thought off as the only one he wants.  It's okay to fantasize, but not like he is doing.  He is totally disrespectful to you.  NO WOMAN DESERVES TREATMENT LIKE THIS.  You are a better person than this, and deserve someone who will treat you like you deserve to be treated.
