Allison is more than a little fed up with her husband. After ten years of Kevin letting her down, Allison has gone from unhappy to full-on murderous thoughts. So what kept Allison from losing it until now? Her dream of being the perfect wife, in the perfect home. But over time, Allison learned that there’s little room for her hopes and dreams in her relationship with Kevin. Being with Kevin means the world revolves around him. It means no friends and zero hobbies, because the focus is always on his friends and his hobbies.

Kevin, on the other hand, loves their life. How could he not? It’s all about him. His house is his beer-pong playground. His best friend is his next door neighbor, a toady to support his absurd endeavors, and of course, play “ultimate hide and seek” with. To Allison, their house is a dim roach-ridden relic. As Kevin man-childs his way through life, Allison’s dreams of marble countertops, mudrooms, and fancy wine fade away.

It takes Allison hitting rock bottom, for her to fully realize the issues between her and Kevin. Hitting rock bottom isn’t fun. You might go a bit crazy. You might even take a night off just to just smash stuff. Allison herself can attest to that. (Ideally you can avoid smash-insanity, right?)

To avoid this plunge to the bottom, it’s important to do something about your Kevin. Of course, not through murder. We highly recommend starting with a healthy conversation. The key is once you know you’re with a Kevin, not to wait as long as Allison did to do something about it.

So, what exactly is "a Kevin," and are you dating one? To start, here are a few Kevinisms you’ll want to look out for:

Your Kevin Is the Loudest Voice in the Room

Whether audibly loud, or metaphorically, your Kevin wants to be the Tyrannosaurus Rex of the room. Kevin’s ideas, no matter how foolish, overpower yours—and everyone else’s.

Your Kevin is Great at Empty Gestures

You will need to tell your Kevin what gift to buy you for your birthday. You’ll find yourself awkwardly asking for something small and easy, with the hope that they might make the extra effort to find something more special. When they don’t, you’ll react to whatever your Kevin gets you as though it’s priceless just to avoid a tantrum.

Your Kevin Tells White Lies

Your Kevin has become so accustomed to getting their way that they lie to you on a regular basis. You probably know when they’re lying and let it slide. Gotta pick your battles, right?

Your Kevin Can’t See Your Needs

Whether it's a shared anniversary, or just any old day, your Kevin must be the star. Your Kevin leaves you out of the picture, focusing instead on what they want and how you can help them. Kevin takes little interest in your daily life and passions.

Your Kevin is Always Innocent

Your Kevin is too helpless to ever be taken seriously. When your Kevin disrespects you, there is seemingly little to be done. It’s not intentional, right? It’s as though they barely even notice they’re doing something wrong.

Your Kevin Takes your Kindness for Granted

Perhaps you make your Kevin a thoughtful breakfast to start their day. Rather than thanking you or acknowledging your effort, your Kevin acts as if your kindness is expected. Over time, your generosity becomes the norm and a simple 'thanks' disappears.

Any of these sound familiar? Maybe a few or all of these Kevinisms are true about your partner. If so, it’s time to have the talk before rock bottom strikes. And while you’re at it, maybe have a talk with yourself about what attracted you to someone like Kevin.
