1. Don't give him his own space
Compared to men, women are more prone to boredom when lonely, which makes them prefer to spend every spare moment with men. Men, however, are inherently freedom-loving and hate the inability to have alone time. Women should learn this from men: love is far from the entirety of life; it's only one part of it.
2. Not understanding his personal hobbies
He enjoys basketball, photography, swimming… If a woman loses interest in these hobbies and can't participate, she often complains that the man is too engrossed in them—why can't he spend that time with her?! And men often find this very annoying. Try to respect his interests, just as you wouldn't criticize him for shopping sprees or long phone calls.
3. Want to change him
Even if your intentions are good, and you simply want him to be a better person, please don't try to change his lifestyle, interests, or even personality. Every adult has already developed a set of lifestyles and behavioral patterns that make them feel most comfortable. Forbidding him from playing video games or forcing him to watch romantic movies he doesn't like will only drive him away!
4. Enjoys gossiping about others
Women seem to be natural gossip makers, but you rarely see a group of men getting together to chatter tirelessly, because for most men, gossip makes them uncomfortable and they are not very interested in other people's "secrets".
5. Losing one's temper for no reason
Unless you tell him yourself, men really won't understand where your bad temper comes from. Stop foolishly using his ability to read your mind as a measure of his love for you!
