10 things man can't stand
1. Talking about intimacy with friends
It's OK to share
certain concerns with trusted friends or family members, but be
selective of who you're sharing this sensitive information with. Keep
intimacy intimate and respect your husband - he might not want you
talking about this to anyone but him.
2. Using secrets against him
Men feel vulnerable when they share their secrets ... but women love to share these secrets, no matter how private they seem. See the problem? To show your husband you love him, never use these secrets against him, especially when arguing.

3. Make the husband feel like the "bad cop"
Especially
for couples with children, men are often faced with being the "mean
parent" because they enforce the rules and punishments. This tendency
for women to paint their husbands as the "bad cop" is something the men
in our lives hate.
4. Bringing up the past
Recalling the date, hour
and minute of everything that has ever bothered us in the relationship
definitely puts a damper on your man's mood. Don't bring up past
problems and mix them with current ones, or the problems will only get
bigger.
5. Not admitting mistakes
Women can make huge
messes, but we don't love to admit when it's our fault. Men hate it when
women can't admit to being wrong and apologizing. Find some middle
ground and admit your faults.
6. Having a "yo-yo attitude""
Not all women are
like this, but many women like to feel strong and tough, but get upset
when you can't keep up with the boys. Men hate this double-standard
attitude.
7. Using intimacy as a threat or reward
Men
despise it when we use our feminine charm to get what we want. For a
happy and healthy marriage, it's important to remember not to do this
and be straightforward about what we want.
8. Not respecting privacy
Let's face it. If his cell phone doesn't have a password, his wallet is in plain sight or you're putting some private papers in the drawer, you'll probably end up looking through them. Men know this and it bothers them. There should be enough trust in your relationship that you don't feel like you have to prove your man's honesty by secretly looking through his phone.
9. Constantly complaining
No one likes to hear someone complain all the time, especially your man. Women are sometimes specialists in seeing the negative, but instead, try focusing on the positive as much as possible.
10. Trying to control him
We do this with the best intentions, but the truth is that our husbands are human beings, not pets. We like to critique your haircut, pick out your outfits and decide what you're doing this Saturday. Men don't like to be controlled, so try to be a little more lenient.
These are only 10 things women do that men hate, and there are probably many more.
