1. He doesn't encourage you

Life has endless challenges. You need someone who can support your dreams. The right man should be a source of encouragement to his spouse. If he doesn't encourage you then your relationship is destined to fail.

2. He is not always there when things get tougher

A supportive partner stands with you at all times. If your man goes missing in action when life becomes tough he is not as supportive as you think. You need support from your man to make things work.

3. He is dismissive

Have you ever approached him for something and he put you off? Well, a dismissive man is not supportive. You need someone who will support you in everything. If he is not ready to support you then he should give you a good reason for the same.

4. He leaves you hanging

There are times your spouse leaves you in a dilemma. When your man decides to leave you at the crossroads, then something is wrong somewhere. A good partner is always on your side.
