26 Seemingly Harmless Things That Drive Your Husband Mad

October 12, 2020 · Marriage

Asking his opinion on how other women look

If your partner is glancing at another woman, it’s not necessarily because he’s attracted to her. In fact, according to science, most men aren’t even aware they’re doing it and others claim they mean no disrespect to their partners. So, if you happen to notice your husband looking at someone else, asking him if that person is prettier than you, is not something he will take lightly.

You might not like but unless he has a regular habit of checking out other women, a quick look should not be the reason to start a fight. Speaking of women, check out 13 Things Scientifically Proven to Make Women More Attractive to Men.

Wearing uncomfortable shoes

You might look stunning in your sexy high heels but before the night is out, both you and your husband will hate them just as much. Hearing you constantly complaining about those uncomfortable heels all night, carrying them for you, or worse, carrying you to the car, are not exactly the right ingredients for a pleasant night out.

Asking where he is 24/7

If you have no reason to believe your partner is not where he says he is, he will most likely feel offended and irritated with your constant interrogation about his whereabouts. Even if your husband is always honest about his whereabouts and the people he hangs out with, it’s annoying to have to explain and account for every second of every minute he’s not with you.

Excluding him when you go out with your friends

Couples in healthy relationships see no problem in having a night out with their friends, without their significant others. However, when you behave as if you’d rather have stayed at home whenever your husband has accompanied you to a social event, might hurt your husband’s feelings more than you think. Just because you are both ok with hanging out with your separate groups of friends doesn’t mean that your husband doesn’t want to go out with them sometime and get to know them better.
