Taking too much closet space
All healthy relationships have certain boundaries that help keep it strong and healthy. We’re not only talking about emotional boundaries, but also physical ones like the closet space assigned for you and your husband. If you act like you’re the sole sovereign over the closet territory and your significant other should be grateful to you for allowing him to occupy a small space, don’t be surprised if your husband is a bit ticked off. After all, you both have equal rights in that house, so, it’s only fair that you also have equal space in the closet.

Assuming he’s paying
If you strongly advocate on splitting household chores, childcare responsibilities, and mortgage costs, why do you always leave it up to your husband to pay for date night? You don’t have to become an extreme feminist and pay for everything, after all, that’s not what a relationship is about, but it’s also not ok to let your significant other pick up the bill whenever you two go out.
If you truly want a fair, honest, and happy relationship, treat your husband to a movie or dinner or at least go Dutch every once in a while. I guess there’s a reason why marriages in the Netherlands last so long!
Organizing to the point where it’s impossible to find anything
You might have the best intentions in the world whenever you start cleaning the house and arranging things, but if you are organizing to the point where nothing can be found, don’t be surprised if your husband throws a fit. It’s very frustrating to the other person to discover that things are constantly being shifted around the house. Imagine being in a hurry and not finding your car keys?
Warming up your hands on him
Your hands and feet might run colder than your husband’s but putting your “icicles” on his is not exactly pleasant for your hubby. After all, what man likes to be used as a personal warmer whenever his wife is a little cold? You might think it’s no big deal but you’re actually ruining the comfortably warm temperature he’s achieved with your cold feet.
