This is situational at best. You both should iron out flaws in yourselves. That’s part of growing. And if he isn’t doing that then leave. But if it’s just that you have started being annoyed by parts of his personality, like making a joke in any conversation, having hobbies like video games or fishing, not being as neat a person as you, those are not flaws. That’s you thinking his personality would change. And that’s a you problem. Not a him problem.

I second this. Bonus one: “I don’t deserve you.” It’s just an excuse to continue bad behavior.

Okay, but my wife literally said that to me a few weeks ago when I asked her why, after a decade of me asking her, she still refuses to break down cardboard boxes properly 😂😬

a man who refuses to grow with you is completely boring. im growing and changing daily with a focus on self improvement and if he isnt on the same growth path we would not be compatible

You are 💯 right on! Also the one who says “this is who I am and I’m not going to change” - dated a guy for about 6 weeks and over that time I noticed he was a habitual gambler with daily sports betting. He also drank excessively and would drive drunk. He facetimed me while driving drunk and I immediately ended it. Mind you this man is 48 with two ex wives, one teen just starting college and a 22 year old. He also lived with his mom but totally lied and said he was taking care of her given his stepdad’s recent death. The truth, the mom looked amazing, was a youthful 75 year old and was not some weak elderly woman. I found the obituary and the dad passed 2 years prior. So he misrepresented everything was love bombing me as we were literal best friends instantly. When I expressed my displeasure at his drunk driving facetime he texted “this is who I am and I’m not going to change” the next morning I ended it with a zero emotion very short HR type breakup text. I’ve never been so proud of myself for seeing things rather quickly. Pay attention, all the signs are there at the start. (Thanks for reading this far 🤗)

He hasn’t said it to me, but he has said it in reference to his ex-wife “she knew what my situation was and who I am” Red Flag 🚩

You don’t find a man with potential. You find a man you like exactly the way he is and don’t try to change him. Yes growth is good but find a man who already grew and won’t need fixed.

What about the ones that say they don’t need to change and if it’s right it works naturally. That’s what I had for a number of years in a relationship post my divorce. I believe it does take mutual effort I was never able to get him to see this. And I felt I was making all the effort which turned into too much energy!

I have used that phrase towards a man and I can confirm- I had ZERO intention of making myself better for him because I was miserable. I didn’t realize the relationship needed to end because I had no baseline of what a healthy relationship should be. But once that relationship ended and I found myself, everything changed. So, yes, this is 1,000% accurate.

My husband says this when I see him doing something weird and ask “why are you the way that you are” while laughing. Example I walk in and he’s pretending to eat the cats paws cause she walked across his computer 😂

I was told I was stuck in the marriage so he didn’t have to change or put in any effort.
