Criticizing your body

Criticism is a toxic habit, no matter if you’re dissing yourself or your husband. While it’s never ok to have a partner that criticizes your body or the way you look, or be one, it’s also not ok to say bad things about yourself all the time.

If you have no confidence in yourself and are constantly complaining about your hips, legs, and whatnot, don’t be shocked if your partner becomes a little vexed. At the end of the day, your husband loves you for who you are, and hearing you say unpleasant things about yourself is like questioning his choice to marry you.

Getting jealous over platonic relationships

It’s not unusual to feel a little jealous when your husband praises one of his female coworkers or a new acquaintance. But if your tinge of jealousy turns into a constant interrogation, nagging and even cheating suspicions, don’t be surprised if things take a turn for the worse. After all, if your husband is doing nothing wrong, your annoying habit of blowing things out of proportion will start to frustrate him. If you have platonic relationships and you know there’s nothing else going on there, then trust that your husband thinks and acts the same.

Making major purchases without consulting him

While buying a new pair of shoes or going to the hair parlor every once in a while, should not be a reason for a serious argument for most couples, making significant purchases without consulting your hubby is a whole different story. There’s nothing more frustrating when you’re in a relationship than to feel that your opinion doesn’t matter.
