Usually, your guy can't get enough of you. Which is why he's
willing to deal with these behaviors that may seem NBD to you, but drive
him up the wall. By Anna Davies, REDBOOK.
Your accessory attachment
"Our bed is pretty much overtaken with pillows, and she wants me to stack them neatly on the chair every night. Also, if I take a nap, she'll sometimes even pull a pillow out from under me because she says the pillow is 'not for sleeping.' Then why is it on the bed?" - Dave W., 37, Savannah, GA
Your media multi-tasking
"Listen, I'm not into The Real Housewives, but I am into my wife, so I'll agree to watch the show with her. But I mean, one show. She's switching channels so often, and then, when I ask a question, she looks at me like I'm a moron. Somehow, she's managed to follow three storylines perfectly while I can't even keep up with what channel we're on!" - Chad C., 41, Seattle, WA
When you drop the F-bomb (not that one)
"Whenever my girlfriend asks if she looks fat, I just feel my stomach sink. It doesn't matter what I say, she won't be reassured, and I hate knowing that she's feeling self-conscious when I think she looks beautiful." - Jeff R., Keller, TX
When you mom him
"I hate when my wife tells me to put on sunscreen. Once, when I was playing a game of softball with some buddies at a picnic, she ran onto the field with a tube in her hand! I love and appreciate how much she cares about me, but sometimes she treats me like another one of our kids and not a grown man." - Jason C., Madison, NJ
Your frenemy fixation
"Whenever my fiancé goes out with one particular friend, she'll immediately come home and start complaining to me about her. But when I ask why she continues to see her, she looks at me like I'm crazy. Guys don't have frenemies. We just have friends and enemies. Why do you make it so confusing?" - Matt H., 35, New York, NY
Your deep involvement in drama
"One time, my wife was really worked up about what 'Kyle' had done. I racked my brain, thinking it was one of my wife's coworkers or college friends, and then, about five minutes into the conversation, I realized she was talking about The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She was so emotional I assumed it was someone she knew, not a television character." - Alex C., 36, Madison, WI
Your wonky sense of time
"For my girlfriend, 'be there in a sec' can mean anything from she's turning in the driveway to she's still at her desk at work and has a conference call scheduled in 10 minutes. She's worth the wait, but I just wish she'd understand that even if she'd like things to take a second, some stuff - like wrapping up a meeting and driving across town - takes time. If I have an accurate estimate, at least then I won't be looking at the door every two seconds like a lonely puppy." - Steve R., 38, Atlanta, GA
Your sneaky menu manipulation
"My wife has a habit of telling me what I should order. And when I do, she inevitably ends up pouting at her meal while saying mine looks so good. So she gets the steak frites I asked for, while I get her broiled salmon, served over some sad-looking greens. Please just order what you want, so we can both be happy!" - Russ K., 33, Washington, D.C.
Your magical mental powers
"Sometimes, I'll be telling a story and my girlfriend will interrupt and say something like, 'that wasn't when you were in seventh grade. It was ninth grade.' And the weirdest thing is, she's right. We didn't know each other when we were growing up, but somehow, she's managed to know my history better than I do. And it's cool. I just wish she wouldn't be so vocal about her powers when we're with other people. It makes it sound like I'm kind of an idiot!" - Jon S., 28, Merrick, NY
Your masochistic streak
"Why do you brag about how much your shoes hurt? Guys don't do that. If shoes hurt, we take them off and return them. Meanwhile, you turn up your nose at comfortable shoes - and then we're the ones who have to listen to you complain all night." - Joe W., 32, Cambridge, MA
When you assume we're psychic
"Sometimes, my girlfriend will get mad and say, 'you know what you did.' Honestly, I don't. Why don't you just tell me so we can talk about that instead of playing some angry guessing game for an hour?" - Jon R., 33, New York, NY
