5. CRITIQUING HIS APPEARANCE

You're just trying to be helpful, right? Like when you point out how much better he'd look if he wore something besides those ratty sneakers. Or cut his hair like Justin Timberlake's.

You may think you're doing a guy a favor when you're 100 percent honest with him. But remember, there's a difference between being honest and being tactful. If you find yourself obsessing over the fact that your guy could look SO MUCH better (or make better grades, or be more popular, or whatever), consider whether it could be YOU who needs to change. You may be so hung up on your image as a couple that you've forgotten why you're a couple in the first place. If that's the case, try to stop looking at your guy through critical eyes. It'll do your heart — and your relationship — good!
