I can’t believe how dumb the following 10 things are and yet some men continue to do them. You have heard the old saying that some people only take their foot out of their mouth to put the other in. Well husbands sometimes do that and it is also like kicking themselves in the butt as they change feet. It is dumb to say foolish un-needed things to your wife when all it accomplishes is making her angry or hurt and putting you in the doghouse. Stop doing the following 10 things and improve your relationship about 100%.

1. Talking about old girlfriends
2. Criticizing the meal your wife spent hours to prepare
3. Failing to comment positively when your wife gets a new hairdo
4. Being a know it all when you’re together with friends
5. Bragging about how well you drive as if she is a bad driver
6. Commenting on how pretty another woman is
7. Leaving your clothes lying around
8. Being too chummy with her best friend
9. Leaving the toilet seat up
10. Expecting her to wait on you hand and foot

Talking about An old girlfriend to your wife is as dumb as it gets. It is like talking yourself out of your next great promotion or smashing your new sports car with a sledge hammer.

Criticizing the meal your wife spent hours preparing is like asking to fix the next one yourself. How smart is that. It is like getting locked out of the bedroom for a week or dropping your ice cream cone on the ground.

Failing to comment on your wife’s new hairdo is like missing your next flight and having to lie over in a strange town in a cheap motel and listen to the refrigeration unites on semis parked outside your window all night.

Being a know it all when you are out together with friends is like receiving a demotion and getting a cut in pay.

Bragging about how well you drive as if she is a bad driver is like volunteering to be her chauffeur for the rest of your life and getting to be the one to always drive the kids to their athletic practice.

Commenting on how pretty another woman is like kicking yourself out of bed and volunteering to sleep on the couch for the next month.

Leaving your clothes lying around is like proving you are about a third as mature as your wife and adding another kid for her to have to raise.

Being too chummy with her best friend is like tearing up your ticket to the super bowl and throwing it out the window.

Leaving the toilet seat up is like trying to swim upstream on the Niagara River and finally winding up going over Niagara Falls and being picked up by a scenic boat below.

Expecting her to wait on you hand and foot is like thinking you are a king and she is a peasant whose only responsibility in life is your care.

Well maybe I exaggerated a little but I think you get the point!
