Bad Love Advice: If Your Man Isn’t Doing THIS, Then You Shouldn’t Be With Him.
A lot of times, girls act like crazy people when it comes to love. We’ll get involved with a guy that we know isn’t right for us, then we let him treat us like we know we shouldn’t be treated. THEN, when he breaks up with us, all we want to do is be back together and we act stupid trying to get him back. We call, we email, we try to “talk,” and understand what happened and hope that he miraculously realizes how amazing we are, and profess his undying can’t-live-without-you-I’ve-seen-the-errors-of-my-ways love. And what for? So we can still be with some guy who isn’t right and doesn’t treat us how we know we want to be treated. It’s madness.
Which is why I loved it when I stumbled upon this picture on Pinterest. This dude rules. And every girl deserves a picture like this. Every girl deserves to be with a guy who is STOKED when he gets to marry her. We should all feel loved and cherished and appreciated and worthy of an epic fist pump. And if we don’t feel that way, what’s the point? Life is to be lived as love.
So where are you at in your relationship? Fist pump status? Or groveling for the wrong guy? Leave a comment below and feel free to write me directly (sally@sallyhope.com) if you don’t feel comfortable sharing publicly.

P.s. Dudes….of course this applies to you too. Your lady should also make you feel like a million bucks. Obvs.
So true. I’m 32 and still trying to figure this all out! I’ve had it both ways. Been the moron for a dude only to get my heart broken. You are so right about life being too short not to live as love with someone who is excited to share their time with you. So, so right! Thanks Sally! As always, loved this post!! :-)
Hahahha I actually LOL’d at “been the moron for a dude only to get my heart broken.” This is funny because we can ALL relate. We’ve all been there done that. And can laugh now. Thank you for writing in. I love your comment. Per usual.
I’m between too old and too smart to “be with some guy who isn’t right and doesn’t treat us how we know we want to be treated” and printing out that pic & blog post & putting it on my fridge to remind him where we’re heading & what I want.

You are adorable and I love you. Take a pic and send it to me. :)

PS: Why is the main title prefaced with “Bad Love Advice:”? It sounds like good love advice to me. :) What is my little brain missing, Sally?
Good question. :) Wellllllll, originally it was a post about all the crappy love advice on the internet and I was making it more awesome. Then it was about how we never speak the truth to our friends and give them terrible love advice. Now…it’s just a catchy title that might change. Hahahha. I can always count on you to call me out. We all need friends like that. What would you title the column?? Xo
I actually love the second part! It’s a perfect title! A good “clobber you over the head reminder”. :D
Hell yeah dude! I am getting to the point of realizing this CONCRETELY … I want STOKED, I want my biggest cheerleader and fan, I want someone so excited about being with me and what I am up in the world. It is coming in 2013 … I can feel it! :)
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Wow. I just had that “talk” with my ex on Wednesday. Thanks for the kick in the pants.. It’s time to move forwards.
