Giving her the boot

Giving her the boot

BY NICOLE NATION 

ONCE some women get a foothold in the lives of the men they want they waste no time in declaring themselves queens. And sooner or later, the king will have no choice but to dethrone this queen. Whether it is that she passes her place and does something outlandish, or he spots something in her behaviour he wants to nip in the bud before it’s too late, many men understand that sometimes giving their women the boot becomes a necessity.

Below, men tell the moment they knew they had to tell Jill to hit the road.

Walter, 29:

I dated this girl once. It was clear that she liked me a whole lot because she always happened to turn up wherever I was. We went out on a few dates and stuff. I never gave her the clear go-ahead that she was the first lady, but that didn’t stop her from announcing her newfound status in my life on every social media channel there was. She had to go and she had to go fast.

Wayne, 24:

This one girl I had literally invaded my life. I liked her but I had no idea that she was such a control freak. Her behaviour drove away my friends and then me. She wanted to know where I was every minute of the day; she would rummage through my stuff looking for ‘evidence’ of cheating, and she was just too paranoid for me.

Darren, 25:

I dated this girl once, she was real pretty, too pretty for her own good. I used to play football with my friends a lot, and whenever she came around I felt as if she was just a little too flirtatious for me. I soon began to suspect that she was playing me with one of my teammates. On just the suspicion alone, I broke it off with her. No two ways about it.

Jermaine, 30:

I remember bringing this one girl to my house. She disrespected my mother and I couldn’t stand for it. She had to go. My mother, you mad!

Tyrone, 26:

I dated this one girl who was cool at first — at least that’s what I thought. She liked video games and to hang out with us guys and drink. But there came a point when I wanted my woman to be a lady, not one of the fellows. She had to go.

Kurt, 37:

I had to work real hard to get her to become my girlfriend and then when I finally did I had to work real hard to lose her. Dating a type A personality is no joke, they expect perfection in all aspects of their lives, and when I didn’t start to shape up to her expectation I felt as if she was talking down to me. Breaking up with her was quite a challenge as she doesn’t take rejection so lightly. Now we’re friends, but I can tell from her looking at me that she still has some pent-up resentment towards me.
