7. He uses weaponized incompetence
…Pay attention to this one, because it can be a sign of manipulation!
Weaponized ineptitude is when a man-child asks a million questions about a task, acts as though he doesn’t know how to do it, or claims to be unable to perform it to convince his partner to do it for him.
This is how it goes: you ask your partner to get dinner ready because you need to clean the house. Deliberately, your significant other asks so many questions about what to do, where the pans and pots are, what utensils he needs, how much oil to put in, and so much more. You have to respond to so many questions that it would be easier to just do it yourself and postpone your other task.
These are only a few signs that you’re dating a man-child, so if you’d like to talk more in-depth about this topic, leave a comment below, and we’ll take care of it. If you want to learn how to deal with your man and improve your relationship, my counselor friend recommends you check out this book!

I could go on but I think you get the point .
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 .
