The idea that you should love EVERYTHING about your significant other is actually nothing but total babble. Though she could be head over heels in love with you, it doesn’t mean that she still doesn’t consider murdering you two to three times a week (maybe more).

You’re not perfect; she isn’t either. Both of you have your own issues and insecurities. We’re living in the real deal after all, not fairytales. Nobody is perfect, but it won’t hurt if you steered clear of the following irritating things girls hate most about their guys:

1/ You: I think you should quit your job. Our income is sufficient.

Nowadays, girls dream of being pilots rather than princesses. The common belief that girls don’t have to work or that’s it only to pass their time is way past its era. Her work goes far beyond being a source of income; it’s her identity, her independence. Never play down the seriousness of her career.

2/ You: Don’t you have enough shoes? Why do you want to buy another one?

“I have enough shoes.” said no woman ever, because simply there is not such thing! Save your breath.

 3/ You: Yes, I am listening to you. (No, you’re not)

Pretending to listen and selectively hearing get on women’s nerve much more than just not listening at all. Even if the topic bores you, try to ask questions and be a participant. She probably did the same when you were irritated that your soccer team got knocked out of the Champions League. Return the favor.

 4/ You: I don’t like this friend of yours. You should keep your distance from her.

Maybe this one friend of hers is really bad, but don’t you think she is mature enough to figure this out on her own? You can’t and shouldn’t protect her from everything; she needs to learn how to do so on her own.

 5/ You: Wash the dishes? I don’t know how to do that.

Here’s a fact. No woman alive has ever started an argument with a man while he was dusting, vacuuming or washing the dishes. It’s more to your benefit pal. Man up, and put the rubber gloves on.

6/ You: Can I skip visiting your parents this week? Oh, and next week too. I will be pretty busy.

Meeting her parents might be a bit stressful for you, but not doing so will be insulting for her. Just like your parents mean a lot to you, it’s the same for her. Try to be polite and charming, and take solace in the fact that you won’t be seeing them every day.

7/ You: Don’t worry I will fix everything.

That’s cute, but frustrating!!!! Nobody needs a hero, but we all need a partner. Believe in her, and in her ability to fix her own mess.

 8/ You: (Texting) K…
