Hello women of the world. I know this may seem a bit random to many, but I am doing some research as to what are some of the main things us men tend to do that may irritate the opposite sex. From not wanting to compromise and accompanying you to a specific event you may be interested it; to any other topic where a man has not gone out of his way to be there to share a moment with you. Post your answers underneath if you are comfortable. If not, I understand. Thank you for your time!

I don't know if this is what you're looking for however, my contention in my relationship is his lack of motivation and drive. For example, my SO recently loss his job and procrastinates when it comes time to look for another (in June he didn't apply at all, this month so far he has applied for 2).

I have been unemployed for 2 years (and just found out that I have been hired for a part-time job, drug test Monday), my dad has been loaning me money to help out with the bills and rent, all the while he sits here day in/day out and chooses to play games on his phone (clash of clans) or search the internet on non job related sites (this is what caused our break up a couple of years ago because I lost respect for him for this very reason).

In the 6 years we have been together, every time there has been a job loss this is the behavior he exhibits.

I no longer argue or get angry because I have reached the point of completely tired and fed up and giving this 40 yr old man enough rope to hang himself. Aside from that we get along fine.

The second thing is I always have to lead, I have to make the decisions for everything. I do not want a controlling ***hole but would like a man to take charge every now and then. It is no fun wearing the pants all the time in a relationship. Yes everything I have stated here has been discussed ad nauseum but nothing sadly nothing has or will change. I have begun coming to terms with the finality of things that are soon to come in my mind.

He took a shower in the morning but never at night before going to bed...very irritating.

I came out of a 2 year relationship about 5 months ago, but during time together we had a fairly happy, healthy relationship...for the most part haha or we'd still be together. But, I would say letting the romance and spontaneity die down. My ex use to spontaneously send me emails doing my day to tell me how beautiful I was to him, or how happy he was to have me in his life, etc.

I think sometimes men only show romance when it's time to have that "special night," but the romance and spontaneity of doing romantic special things shouldn't always be so perfectly calculated just before trying to have sex with your special lady.

When he sits at the kitchen table and rips farts so badly, that they sound rippled, like there is an earthquake outside. Very nasty, and rude!

Aside from the fact that I truly love him, I went against my belief "If you go back to an ex you will be quickly reminded of why they became your ex in the first place," and instead went with the saying that "people can change." This time around I have given it my all and was 110% into this relationship only to see when it comes to this he is still content and complacent with allowing someone else to take care of him. It is my fault for taking him back and I accept responsibility for being in this position.

This!! And doing it in bed, under the covers so when you move a wave sewer swamp gas over whelms you and makes you want to vomit. Then they laugh. It's not funny it's disgusting and NASTY!!!
