Pushovers.

First off. I love my spouse. He truly is a wonferul man. BUT…I gotta vent for a little bit to those out there looking for love.

Beware of pushovers. Its not worth falling in love with people like this. Its tough and causes extremely bad problems. I know this first hand because of my spouse. He is the biggest pushover I have ever met in my entire life! We have been in some extremely heated arguments over this problem. Let me give you some examples of what this means.

Being nice and considerate to someone is one thing, but literally turning into a total door mat for people to wipe their dirty feet on is another. Sometimes being too nice to a person can actually cause you to seem like a complete idiot.

My spouse is a pushover. Sometimes it scares me to leave him home alone by himself while I am at work or school because I know that if someone calls he is gonna “jump” to their needs. When you live with a pushover it can cause you lots of trouble financially.

Being a pushover, especially a man, makes him look like he cant stick up for himself or anyone else around him. Its very unattractive too.  This can go for men and women.

So, what’s my point? Be nice, but dont be OVERLY nice.  The following are some pointers:

1. Dont give someone money, just because they say they need it. Ask questions first and weigh your options.

2. Dont co-sign for someone just because they tell you some sad story. When you co-sign, you are taking over that item that is being purchased on credit.

3. Dont lend your car out to someone, if they wreck it–its your problem.

4. Dont allow someone to come into your home and boss everyone around. Its YOUR home.

5. Dont just give anyone a ride.

6. Take up for your family and friends.

7. Take up for yourself!!!

Until next time,
