Book Cover & Preview Text
Have you ever wondered if you’re in a bad relationship? This book gives you specific examples of what to look for; many are humorous and others are downright nasty. Think of this book as a gauge. How many examples of “bad boyfriend” behavior can you detect in your own relationships?
With our combined years of dating, we felt a need to laugh out loud. A simple discussion about relationships between two friends turned into a humorous, six-hour road trip that will never be forgotten. We knew we needed to share our insights and put a positive spin on some less than appropriate behaviors. Thus, How to be a Bad Boyfriend was launched.
Relating these experiences made us realize that there are other girlfriends out there that will also find our stories funny and perhaps will be able to laugh as they see their own situations unfolding. If you have a story that you would like to share, check out the form at the end of this book to submit your own Bad Boyfriend experience(s). If The Girlfriends decide it is appropriate for the next book, you will see it in “How To Be A Bad Boyfriend Part II”.
Excerpt from Book:
How To Be A Bad Boyfriend …
1. Periodically make up a phone number, write it on a torn piece of paper, and put it in your
pants pocket. Your girlfriend will find it when she does the laundry and know she’d better “shape up”.
2. Talk incessantly about other girls. That way she’ll know there is a lot of competition around.
3. Don’t call her when you are out of town; keep her guessing what you’re up to.
4. Have a one-night stand whenever you can. That will keep an edge on your prowess.
5. Have friendships with past girlfriends, especially those you slept with. Exclude your current girlfriend from participating in these relationships or even knowing they still exist.
6. Never insist on paying when she offers to pay.
7. Be a “womanizer”.
8. Never offer to help carry in the groceries for your girlfriend. After all, she does need the exercise.
9. Ask her to marry you but never set a date. This will ensure a free pass for sex.
10. Forget her birthday; then blame her because she didn’t remind you.
11. Constantly criticize how she looks, how she acts, and her friends. She will appreciate your concern.
12. Have a parent/child relationship with you being the parent and her the child. That entitles you to tell her what to do.
