I dislike the term scrub and don't use it loosely, but ladies some men are scrubs and we love picking up the pieces. Mainly talking from my own experience, but girls, a broken man is not for you to fix. A financially unstable man who talks about it like a tragic story then does nothing about it, is not for you to sympathize.

I spent 2 years with a guy that truly wasn't worth it. He was toxic and a bum. Literally, wouldn't work and would get some way with me working. He lived bill free for 2 years. I provided food, shelter, phone, technology, allowed him to have access to my bank account, provide weed and cigarettes and clothes, etc. Pathetic on my part and was almost like raising a grown man. While also blowjobs being demanded as if he deserved it after doing nothing. It wasn't until we broke up that I realized all this. The red flags from when we first met. When I found out he was homeless cause his family was tired of him, I should've went the other way. When he kept talking about his past and wouldn't do anything to improve, I should've left. When he kept lying, I should've left.

If you are with someone who is similar, it's not worth it
