7 Good Reasons You Got Dumped

Words by Thomas Jamison

The first time you get dumped, you always remember it. For me, it was fourth grade. For others, it might not be till they are 27. Either way, the lasting effects of someone firing you from the relationship can leave some scars on you. After time has passed, and you allow yourself to think straight, start to ask yourself “Why Did I Get Dumped?” Here are some answers.

Note: The obvious reason why a guy would get dumped(he cheated) is being omitted.

7. Communication breakdown.
This is an easy one. A relationship that features poor communication is one that is destined to fail at some point. A woman will often tell you what you NEED to know to make her happy. It is up to you to truly listen.

6. You changed.
When you two first started dating, you may have been the type that always would get her flowers, or even do small things like open the door for her. Now that you are comfortable in the relationship, those have ended. All men must remember the things you did to catch the woman are the same things you have to do to keep her.

5. Outside influences.
As much as both men and women hate to admit it, what their friends or family think of their significant other means a lot. If her b.f.f hates you, you are treading on thin ice. Struck out with the parents? Might as well start looking…

4. Jealousy.
Jay-Z said it best, “Jealousy is a female trait”. A jealous, insecure boyfriend is one of the saddest sights to see. If you are ever in doubt, be a man and confront your girl about the issue. You may not like the answer, but at least you know, and can deal with it one way or another.

3. You became boring.
If you don’t keep your relationship spontaneous, even the most faithful woman will become bored eventually. The longer you are in the relationship, the more you should feel the need to spice things up. Just because you aren’t courting her doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go out on dates, or do things new couples do.

2. The tempation to cheat.
Sometimes the tempation of cheating is worse than the actual act. If your girl isn’t happy at home, and there is a viable option around(whether it be Mr. Right Now or a ex-man) the pure pondering in her mind can be enough to make her want to break up.

1. Emotional Disconnect.
As it has been reported all too often, women often cheat emotionally more than physically at first. If you don’t make your girl feel the same way you used too when you first got together, there is a problem. If your girl talks to another man about your relationship problems, you have a problem. If another man is giving her advice, you got a bigger problem.
