And You Thought Your Man Was Bad: The Worst On-Screen Boyfriends

September 23rd, 2011 - By Veronica Wells


“Marvin” Love Jones

You’ve heard us say it before and chances are you’ve probably lived it yourself. They always come back, usually the moment after you’ve officially moved on with your life. Such is the case with Nina (Nia Long) with long-time boyfriend Marvin. He invites Nina to stay with him under the pretense that they’ll be working on their relationship. But it was more about him trying to convince her to give up her dreams and devote her life to being nothing more than his woman. Womp. Trying to kill Nina’s dreams was reason enough to leave but the temper tantrum over some Toasted Oats was all the confirmation she needed to peace out.

    Jill scott’s husband in why did I get married should have made the list.

  • Why even bother

    Men are a crafty breed.

      So are women.

    Women need to have eyes wide open. Especially in a risky situation with a cheating or married man.

    We can do better than men who don’t love us.

    Yep you pretty much covered 'em all. I know one that is a mix of the last two. Why don't they ever pair up with the crazy assed women out there that should be with them? Nooo, they always search out a really good woman to destroy. Life is a hard, cruel thing sometimes.

      @Noelle: Good women will find out sooner or later that they have much more of an advantage and power over these kind of men with their legs "closed" instead of open. If you don't believe me, just try it and see what happens.

    Excellent article Madame Noire! Time for us women to wise up and have more respect for ourselves and understand our value and true worth. If you don't value yourself, then why should a man?
