i saw this article in the newspaper today and i think it's worthwhile for those who wish to maintain a relationship to read for fun =]
1. Thou shalt remember important dates:
And we don't mean the Test cricket dates or his mother's birthday. It hurts our feelings when he forgets anniversaries, Valentine's day, our birthday. Hi sfailure to remember makes us think he doesn't care, whereas remembering gives him the perfect chance to show us just how much he does. So, men, it's fairly simple. Put it on your calendar in big red letters and, a few days before, make sure you put a reminder in your phone to allow time to plan the spoils. we wil appreciateit and you wil be rewarded.
2. Thou shalt not look at other women:
If we're with a man, then we expect (and deserve) his full attention. While we understand that you cannot change a man, this should be one of the first habits he drops when you start seeing him. Looking is normal, but looking a lot is a problem.
3. Thou shalt practise bathroom etiquette:
We like to think of our bathroom as a haven of retreat. Men should respect this sacred place and this means:
-no using our favourite (not to mention expensive) products - buy your own.
-no leaving the toilet seat up. Put the seat and lid down. IT's a simple request but one so many men struggle to uphold.
-no leaving of wet towels on the floor. the towel rck is tere for a reason.
It's often the little things we break up over, so you're wise trying to fix them early on.
4. Thou shalt not spend longer getting ready than us:
part of the illusion of being a woman is that magical moment when we step from our boudoir polished to perfection from top-to-toe, wearing that special dress with killer heels. should he still be in the shower, having a shave or trimming his toenails, he'll kill said magic. remember men, it's thewoman's prerogative to keep the man waiting. sure, we want you to take pride in your appearance, but anything over our beauty-boosting regime and you're entering Narcissus territory. And say something. if you just look us up and down and don't comment, we'll think you don't think we look good.
5. Thou shalt not question our...
-shoe habit: asking in exasperation, "do you really need another pair?" while staring suth of our ankles is not the way to get out of this alive.
-hairdo: yes, it might have looked better of POsh, but that doesn't mean we need him to tell us.
-style: men, we understand fashion. he should like the fact that you take pride in your appearance ad be proud to have you on his arm. this, of course, cuts both ways in a relatinoship. if you don't like certain outfits that your partner wears, don't make a negative comment. instea, tell them how gorgeous they look when they wear something you do like.
6. Thou shalt not mock PMS:
emotional outbursts or not, its just plain rude for men to immediately assume that just because a woman is acting a certain way it is her time of the month. even when our men know that it is the case, saying so is a sure way to stoke the fire. the majority of men arent experts when it comes to our cycle - and it's common to fear the unknown. take away the mystery - tell him you're feeling a little tender and apolofise if he finds you're being more snappy than usual. girls, dont use him as an emotinal punching bag.
7. Thou shalt not practise DIY if not skilled in said department:
while we love being able to do things ourselves, we still love a man doing things around the house,be it putting up shelves, wiring plugs or even mowing the lawn. But there's nothing worse than a job half-finished or, worse, when he ransacks our space with the over-confident use of tools.
8. Thou shalt not ignore the finer points of grooming:
while we want men to be quicker than us in the bathroom (and respect its domain), we still appreciate a well-turned outman. there's a myriad grooming products available to men in today's world, from lip balm to eye cream and soothing saving tonic to brow gel, so there's really no reasonfor your fella to feel uninformed.
9. Thous shalt share the load:
The days of women tackling the housework and having dinner waiting for hubby when he returns from a hard days' work are long gone. you're both hard-working professionals, you split the cost of your home, therefore it's only fair that the chores are splt equally too.
10. Thou shalt never say...
-"what have you done to your hair?"
-"they both look the same to me."
-"Do you think you should be eating that?"
while it's inevitable they're going to say the wrong thing from time to time - hey, we're not perfect eitehr - simple common sense dictates that these comments ar likely to be met with contempt and disdain.
