Handing over a mile-long to-do list
“My wife and I have been married for 10 years, but when she writes me a list of errands I feel like I’m just some hired helper. I also don’t like it when she gives me directions on how to grocery shop or pick up our son from day care. I know how to do these things, and I’m happy to do them, but I’m going to do them my way!” -George, 33
Going back on a decision we made together
“I hate when my wife suddenly goes soft on something I thought we’d agreed upon as a team. Recently, she let our daughter create a Facebook account, even though we’d told her that she had to wait until her birthday. It feels unfair that I’m always turned into the bad guy.” -Steve, 37
Not watching my TV show
“I love Breaking Bad so much that I usually go to a bar around the corner that broadcasts it. But my girlfriend has never come with me. I get that it’s all about taste, and I don’t need her to watch every week, but not joining in at all makes it seem like she doesn’t care about my interests.” -Dave, 37
