Sorry, Honey, You've Hooked Up With a Douche.

- Heidi Montag

When you see a friend who’s in a bad relationship, it’s oh-so-easy to diagnose. Love can sometimes be like an illness (the term ‘lovesick’ isn’t just a hyperbole, people!). It can make you feel funny and sometimes even cloud your vision, but, sadly, there’s no relationship doctor to prescribe some common sense. Luckily, there are a few telltale signs to help you figure out if you’ve somehow ended up with a jerk.

1 He doesn’t broaden your horizons

Are you always the one who chooses the restaurants, plans your dates and even puts together the freaking Spotify playlist for your road trips? If so, it’s about time your guy grows up for a bit.

Remember, you’re his girlfriend, not his life mentor.
