This one is for the guys. My brother, thank goodness, just broke up with his girlfriend, who is a Certified Psycho B. Guys, I know you don’t want to go through the hell that he did, so here are some tips on some things to avoid, garnered by my personal observations over the past few months.
Avoid the woman at all costs if:
1. She wants to wear a vial of her ex-husband’s blood around her neck. I do believe this was the final straw. He was jealous, I believe, but if it were me, I’d be bemoaning the utter lack of creativity. We all know Angelina Jolie did this one first.
2. She has kids and lets you spend the night after a week. Poor impulse control, anyone? Lack of regard for her children’s safety and emotional well-being? It doesn’t bode well for you either, boys.
3. She has recently spent time in a mental hospital and it didn’t work. Nothing against a bit of chemical imbalance, but when someone is on two or three psychotropic meds and is dropping X pretty regularly, then you know there may be issues. Especially when it’s happening around the kids.
4. She says what you want to hear. No one ever agrees with another human being 100 percent of the time. If she is overly agreeable, then she’s faking it. It is all part of a seductive act designed to draw you in, get a ring, spend your money and then suck your brains out with a straw.
5. She is in a hurry to introduce you to her family. And meet your family. This is a way of becoming so entangled in your life that you cannot easily extricate yourself when the true colors start to show.
6. She lies about the little stuff. The little stuff is what you really have to worry about. It may not be nice to lie about big stuff, but it is at least understandable if she doesn’t want you to know that her daddy was in prison for stealing a truck full of shaving cream and driving it to Berkley. However, if she lies about who just called, how much the dress cost (not that it’s any of your business, really), the name of her cat, whatever, then she’s pathological. Trust me.
7. She flirts with other guys in front of you. And behind your back. And when you’re asleep. And when you’re out of town. This is someone who self esteem is so wrecked that she needs validation from men no matter what. Lord forbid you get in a fight and you don’t tell her how pretty she is one evening. Which leads to number 7.
8. Cheating. Any cheating at all. There is never an excuse, ever. Anyone who is willing to sell out their own integrity, risk infecting you with a disease, and deceive you in the name of their own pleasure or insecurity is not the person you want to be with. If you buy her excuses for why she did it, I recommend a good counselor to get at the bottom of why you feel so bad about yourself that you’ll let people treat you like used gum on a sidewalk.
In the interest of fairness, I’ll have to follow this up with a psycho guy post, so keep a look out!

can’t wait to read the psycho guy post.
Oh yeah, the lying about little stuff thing. I have a pretty decent memory, and I pay attention to what they say and what they do. Although I’d like to give people the benefit of doubt, if their behaviors are inconsistent with their words all the time, you know something is up. And there’s someone that would babble on with all these stories about her friends, her family, and herself, but the story they told before and the story they told you today aren’t really matching up, that’s a red flag too.
For people I don’t know well, I’d pay close attention to how they react when you ask them to do little things. And I’d definitely make a mental note if I lend out a small item (like a pen or 5 bucks) and it never comes back. In my opinion it’s a very small price to pay to learn if you should trust a certain someone.
Awesome post. =)

I could write a book on this subject. The number of blokes I know who’s women hit them (and I don’t mean playfully), throw stuff t them and other physical stuff is unreal. As for what I hear coming out of the mouth of these women…
What will scare you though is when the police arrive the man is arrested and she is offered protection and other help often getting the attention of a social worker and or WPC for several hours after the event. The braver lads round here have a secret saying - “it wasn’t the garage door he walked into”.
It amazes me the amount of crap one person will take from another in a relationship.
There are some things missing in this post for me to be able to paint a picture of this girl being psycho.
I wouldn’t call cheating psycho. But things like being overly insecure to the point of asking you where you’ve been all day is a bit psycho.
Girl: “Where have you been?!”,
Guy: “I’ve been at work all day, you know that”,
Girl” “You’re such a liar, you weren’t at work, I called them”,
Guy: “No, you didn’t cause I would have known if you called”,
Girl: “I hate you so much, why do you do this to me?”
