What exactly is a jerk? The slang term definition is “a contemptibly naive, fatuous, foolish, or inconsequential person”. If we were to shorten that, we’d say it’s anyone who jerks you around, especially emotionally.

One day things seem great. The next day, you don’t know what the deal is. Are you in a relationship or not? Does he have feelings for you or is he just playing with your mind? Is there a future to this thing y’all have going or is he just frontin’?

Who has the time to go through all of that drama? In 2017, you deserve to be with the kind of man who is sure. Sure about himself. Sure about what he wants in a relationship. Sure about you. Thing is, if you’re caught up with a jerk, 9.9 times out of 10 (and that was being generous!) that’s probably NOT going to happen.

That’s why we’re hoping that on the top of your New Year’s Resolution list, you’ve decided to drop any dude who doesn’t have your best interest at heart. If you need some help separating the cream from the jerks, here’s a lil’ cheat sheet.

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
