Is Your Partner a Man-Child? 7 Signs He Is

3. He behaves like a frat boy

Even though he’s no longer college-age, he loves to party every week, even if he has something important the next day. He seems out of control, telling you that you’re too bossy and you should cut it loose.

Moreover, a man-child is always with his friends who have the same mentality, and they make fun of everyone who doesn’t get them, including you. It’s like the teenage years all over again, and you’re not his mother!

4. He’s a financial mess

This is usually a person who is underemployed or unemployed on a long-term basis; I’m not talking about student loans or a medical emergency, because those things are understandable. However, a man-child might jump from one job to another, not because the place is toxic or underpaid, but because he can’t make up his mind, he doesn’t like hard work, and he doesn’t show he can take on responsibilities.

He acts like it might as well be a hopscotch game. In addition to his impulsive spending and late credit card payments, he’s not organized enough to file his taxes. He makes jokes about how you should be the one to pay when you go out, and while there’s nothing wrong with splitting the bill or making turns who pays, always counting on you to cover the bill isn’t romantic, healthy, or pleasant.

    We have been togather for 34 or 35 years and the past 4 years he’s been battling cancer and I think the cancer has alot to do with his behavior . But I’m at the point that I just might divorce him when he gets over this cancer . I need some TLC myself . He use to be a good man the first 10 years of our relationship but when his boss started taking him out on hunting and fishing trips and to the strip clubs he became an ass . Yes , I confronted his boss and told him not to be taking him to any more strip joints and that Bob has a big mouth and he definitely tell me if he goes , so his boss took Bob and a few of the other guys on a hunting trip and Bob called me from whorehouse telling me that the boss had gotten hookers for all of them and he wanted to come home but he couldn’t they were in the middleofnowhere . I know he cheated on me as soon as he came through the door . I could smell the cheap nasty perfume of the Mexican hookers on him and I did ask him about it , then told him that if he ever cheats on me again I’d supper glue it to both his legs . He still swears that he didn’t . But I know he did . It was all over him and it took weeks before the smell finally faded away . ( By the way I never yelled or bitched at him , I just told him how it was and let him know that I wouldn’t tolerate the behavior again .) I know that sounds a little strange but I had been cheated in the past and throwing a fit doesn’t accomplish nothing except for bad feelings for both partners and he did stop but he’s gotten a little mean .
