Expects a lot but offers little

There is an old saying: "There are always two sides to every story." I prefer to say, "There are sometimes many sides to every story: the main ones involved and the observers. An example would be two individuals who had a fight in the street and fifteen eyewitnesses. If one is badly hurt, the police would question the two fighters and the fifteen eyewitnesses. They would look for a pattern among the statements of the eyewitnesses in order to help solve the problem of what happened. Maybe you would tell me that this was a private relationship between you and the young lady, not others. OK. If anything happened between the two of you that drew in the police, I promise that the thoughts of others--family, close friends, eyewitnesses, neighbors, co-workers, etc.--would matter to them.

My point is only your side is aired here. You seem like a very kind-hearted man, but I perceive that you are a "perfectionist." Perfectionists want everything done on time, in order, the best way possible, their way, etc. If they plan your wedding, they would do a great job. Such individuals are hard to please unless they pair with someone like themselves. Perfectionists want mind readers who can please their every desire. I do not doubt that you told the truth about your girl. You probably did. Did you have a serious discussion with her about the things you did not like about her? If you did, did she explain to you the things that she did not like about you? You both probably had a long grievance list of each other. I am sorry that you two could not see eye-to-eye.

These are acts of women that some men find annoying:

**tells women about their husband’s infidelities that she has witnessed

**wants to choose all of the outfits he wears

**disagrees with him on matters concerning the children in their presence

**criticizes him when he is doing his best

**spends his off days with her friends

**spends money for bills on an irresistible sale at the mall

**takes money from his wallet without asking, if this is not pre-approved

**wants to keep up with the Joneses at his expense

**gets drunk

**tries to wear the pants or be the head of the family when he is quite capable

**does not listen, but want to be heard

**lies

**beats up his girlfriend when she catches them together (way to go, girl!)

I had fun writing my reaction, although I am a woman. Thanks for sharing your experience. It is sure to help someone to check her behavior. I am voting up and clicking positive buttons.

Aaaw, Ian! Hahah you're so rough on a girl who cries a lot :) I tend to be very emotional myself. BUT the other things are all annoying - even as another female. I can't wait to run over now and read the annoying things men do....yes that one will be fun :)

very helpful :)

Too funny! Unfortunately most women find it hard to forget. We are emotional creatures. I wish I could let things go but for some reason I can not or just don't know how. And believe me some women don't want to be some of the things you describe, it's exhausting but we find ourselves doing it anyway. It's just up to both parties to figure out if they can deal with the other's annoyances and if not move onto the next one until they do. Great hub!

This is a great list and sometimes I feel really sorry for men. Women can be very difficult and hard to please. For women like me on the opposite end of the spectrum, men tend to walk away because I am too independent. I am still learning how to balance things in a healthy way. I think the worst thing a woman can do is put herself down and compare herself to other women. With enough of that, a woman can convince her man that she is lacking. Well done and great for discussion. I look forward to your hub on men.

Loved your hub, despite being a female, I appreciate honesty. Although, I do have one question, have you ever set down and nicely and calmly told her what bothers you?

Hi Ian,

Your comment really kind of motivated me. I overcame the obstacle of writing my first hub and published it finally. Have a look. I hope you will like it.

Okay, now you really made me smile! "She grabs her towel and runs into the shower…” Yes, I’ve probably done it, and know many others who have too. But she’ll grow out of it - the older we get the less we care if our hair is perfect or what people think of us. (At least that’s my experience, and my friends.) So the comparing to other women goes too.

More seriously, almost everything you’ve listed here (apart from organising your stuff and that would drive me nuts too) indicates someone who was very insecure. I hope she’s happier now.

Well aren't you the relationship expert. I really enjoyed this hub, it was actually quite funny. Maybe because I can see myself doing some of the things you warned about! You already know I voted up!

Good to see this from a guy's point of view. Voting this Up and Interesting.

You see, looks ARE just skin deep. It's a shame so many people look first and hope that is enough to get them through. Relationships do need working and communication is the key word here. Well done for sharing.
