Yeah, I was kind of shocked by this omission since Nick Nelson is a really good boyfriend. Maybe it's too niche a show?

[@hayleydouglas]

Leonard was not a good boyfriend to Penny, he thought she wasn't that smart, he didn't support her in her acting jobs and rewrote her college paper so that she didn't fail and couldn't accept that she wanted to learn in her own way without his help

[@mb-kn6pu]

She wasn't good to him either. It wasn't a good relationship.

[@hayleydouglas]

@@mb-kn6pu that is very true, by the end of the show, Leonard became so weak and pathetic

[@sonalisingh5360]

He even cheated on her during his time away on cruise

[@katymvt]

Didn't she get Amy and Bernadette to write her papers after that? He may have known her better than you realize.

[@Mandy99077]

Leonard was absolutely awful. He barely noticed that Penny was drowning in depression and alcoholism. All he cared about was getting laid and other people *knowing* that he was getting laid by a woman as beautiful as Penny. He was possessive, insecure, jealous and clingy. He ground her down so she didn't have enough self-confidence to ever leave him. I would put him in the top 10 of a Terrible TV Boyfriends list.

[@Red_Sun779]

I wholeheartedly agree. He was an awful partner to Penny.

[@koladearasanmi2005]

Not that penny was any better as girlfriend. I genuinely believe they weren't fit for each other

[@carlafernandes_7]

@@koladearasanmi2005 I agree! To me, Penny only settled with Leonard because she didn't believe she could find anything better and Leonard just saw her as a trophy to show off to others

[@angoktac2411]

Thank you also he waited around and beat her down till she finally dated him while he talked down on her and her wanting to be an actress. I remember how many times he said she wasn't smart or couldn't understand the best relationship from the house was penny and Sheldon they grew on me and watching him defend her to Leonard showed how much he cared. Also Cory acts just like him too trash men. The way he wanted to get laid and didn't care about topanga feelings was wild and her not going to her dream college to be with him was sad.

[@brittanycoolidge4101]

literally almost every guy in that show is a shitty dude besides Raj, Sheldon doesn't understand Romance, Leonard has mother issues, and frankly Walowiz is just creepy. Not sure how any of those guys ended up with them.

Right? Didn't Mason left her for someone else?

[@bortsampson4160]

Nathan tried cheating on his wife with her sister, fucked two best friends and was a total dick during Hayley’s music tour. Like every character in one tree hill he’s kind of a fucking monster that is eventually all forgiven.

What do you mean Chandler Bing wasn't sexy? He had boy next door good looks. He was hilarious, and he oozed charm from every pore. What's sexier than that?

[@aryelmeiras6870]

I am genuinely in love with Patrick Brewer and Jake Peralta. They are the polar opposites of their partners but they love and support them no matter what and will do anything in their power to keep them happy. They should be higher in the list!

[@GamerGuy555]

I totally agree :)

[@bishakhagupta4913]

When I think of best boyfriends, Chandler, Ben, Jake and Patrick come to my mind instantly because I rewatch sitcoms and then Nathan Scott comes first from Teen dramas, and then some other names, so how is Patrick so low in this list is beyond my comprehension!

Marshall is indeed the best guy!!! But you forgot about Dwyte from the Office, he even got fired cos of Angela and he loved his job the most. He deserves to be in the list.

[@lalyrabe]

Caleb Rivers and Nathan Scott are really my favs from everyone

[@chigusayamamoto5063]

Let’s not forget that Caleb has always stuck up for her, and didn’t even look at other women while dating her. He didn’t fall for her step sister’s seduction, even subtly insulting her. Also let’s not forget how he believed Hanna’s innocence when a majority of people thought she spread that photo of her step sister around. That’s literal loyalty.

[@hey_its_heather]

ones I agree with (from shows I’ve seen): Pacey Witter, Caleb Rivers, & Finn Hudson and lot of these I would say belong on a worst TV boyfriends list 😬

[@willameana5134]

Umm...I love Big Bang Theory but Lenoard and Penny were toxic together. He was a crap boyfriend and she was a crap girlfriend. They weren't good together. And Patrick being 17th WTH? Pacey being 14th? Both should be in top 10.

[@RickeGnool]

Matt Casey from Chicago Fire. First he bent over backwards to make Dawson happy (who in return treated him like crap IMO) and when he moved on to Brett he was amazingly supportive of her.

[@chelseacanales8763]

[@abbytaegusuga]

At first I was like “who could POSSIBLY be better than Ben Wyatt???!?!” But then they said Marshall as #1 and I wholeheartedly agree. #1 and #2 are the best hands down. The rest of the list (Leonard?? Finn??) is questionable. Nick Nelson should be on this list!

I'm not sure I'd count a married man being in love with a woman other than his wife, but remaining married to her anyways, as a good partner. It's creepy af.

[@prosen8966]

Niles was in a hideously toxic relationship - bc of Maris, not himself - but even when he met what appeared to be the love of his life, he tried to make his marriage work, bc he felt that having said the vows, he should try his best to do so. What he DIDNT recognize u til it was literally thrown in his face - first by Maris & then by his brother - was that he was the only one making the effort thruout his marriage & that Maris had treated him like dirt from the v beginning. If he had more self esteem, he might have recognized that sooner, but Maris took any left over and crushed it beneath her teeny tiny feet. Finally leaving a relationship that is completely wrong for you & ultimately getting together w the woman you have loved since you first set eyes upon her is actually romantic when you recognize how awful his marriage actually was & how much he deserved to be happy. Niles tried to make his wife happy - it was a lost cause. He eventually turned that charm onto Daphne and she realized how much she adored him. Not creepy but sweet as hell!!
