Let me get straight to the point! If your man shows up for a date late once that can be excused. If he shows up for another date late, that may be excused but this time, with good reasoning. If your man continues to show up for a date every night, every week, every month, then honey, it's a character flaw.

Let me bring it home for you. We're all human which means we are liable to make mistakes. It's a part of being, well, human. So when someone makes a mistake that is completely understandable; but when someone repeats the same behavior over and over again then it is considered a character flaw.

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with character flaws, we all have them. But how much of a character flaw is acceptable?

There are some things you should tolerate but other just won't fly. Here's how to tell the difference.

1. If your man forgot your plans because he had a busy week or he is tied with something important- that is a mistake. If he forgot your dinner date at 8, your lunch date at 3, your sexy rendezvous at 2 because: 'oh I forgot again, I'm sorry.' then I hate to break it to you but that is a character flaw! He clearly has a problem with locking down a plan and making time for you.

2. If your man lied about something, depending on what it is, it may have been a mistake. Sometimes people lie to avoid hurting your feelings. When your man lies about hanging in another girl's bed because: 'she invited me over and I didn't know how to tell her no' or he got another girls number and claims: 'what? I wasn't going to call her, just didn't want to hurt her feelings by not taking her number.' Clearly your guy has commitment issues and not to mention, an issue with telling the truth.

Making mistakes is expected from everyone but always remember to put your foot down when the time is right. Your guy is only human and may forget things sometimes, show up late or any other mistake you can imagine but when his 'mistakes' are repetitive then something is certainly wrong. Nip things in the bud or get out, FAST, before it's too late.
