Let's talk about a few things men do that peeve me as a woman! But before I proceed, I will love to make it clear that not all men really do these things I am about to discuss today, but of course, good numbers of men do this a lot, and it's simply annoying.
One of such things is their never apologizing attitude. As simple as this word "I am sorry," a lot of men find it so difficult to voice it out when they are wrong. Could it be their ego stopping them from telling their partners a simple sorry? We understand that men are the head of the family, but an apology is a great way to settle disputes and leave peacefully. Sometimes, men like apologizing through actions, maybe by buying gifts for their women when they offend them. Personally, I don't like receiving gifts in place of apologies. Even if you want to gift me to melt my heart, first let me see that you are remorseful over the wrong you did. Don't be too big to own up to your actions; just do the needful so we can move ahead instead of buying me a gift in place of an apology.
Another thing men do that irritates me is when they say "I'm fine," but deep down within them, they are dying slowly. It can be worrisome seeing your man acting moody, seeing him suddenly become cold, and when you care to ask what went wrong, he prefers to swallow his pain and pretend that all is well. The pain they are going through is so glaring, but yet, they will say, I am fine. They forgot to realize that sometimes, their partner may be their relief system when they share what bothers them. Why not just say something instead of keeping us in suspense? It's annoying, men; just communicate whatever the issue might be!
Some men also have a double face; let me just put it that way, but what I mean is that some of them like to act differently around their friends or family. For instance, when you hang out with your man where friends are or even family, they will try to impress them, acting nice and romantic, whereas at home, they are something else, very difficult to approach kind of men at home, but out there, they become so nice overnight, lol. I have a friend like that who uses such an opportunity to request something from his husband in the midst of his friends. There and there, the husband will attend to her! living to impress others, oh please!
Finally, I get upset when I see men that aren't considerate at all. You will be in the house, pressing your phone and scrolling through the whole street of social media, and then your woman is doing the whole chores at home, overworking herself, attending to your children alongside, and if she fails to meet up with the dinner or any other thing at the supposed time, you get flared up and keep shouting at her. Excuse me, what happened to your hands? Can't you be supportive and make your relationship so sweet? It's just annoying to see this kind of man. Consider that woman; she can be tired because she is not a robot; she is only your helpmate.
There are still many others I have in mind, but I better stop here before some men eat me raw, hahaha.
