Boyfriends can drive you insane. They can make you \u2018Crazy In Love\u2019 to quote Beyonc\u00e9 as they always seem to be on your mind, you want to spend all your time with them, and you can\u2019t imagine how it is possible to love them as much as you do. However, boyfriends can also drive you crazy in terms of annoying you. The worst thing about this is that more often than not, your boyfriend doesn\u2019t even know that what he does annoys you.<\/p>\n
This is to the extent that when you loose your cool and erupt in his face, he is totally caught off guard and has to actually ask you to explain what he has done wrong (all the while thinking your touchiness is probably down to hormones, or your time of the month!). So the purpose of this article is to list 10 things that boyfriends do that annoy you without them knowing it. This article is aimed at the girlfriends of said boyfriends, to show you that you aren\u2019t alone in your annoyance, and also at the boyfriends themselves to help make their lives easier too! *This is not a reflection of any relationship in particular.*<\/p>\n
So many times I have overheard boys call their girlfriends psychos because they are constantly messaging them. In our defence, it is not that we are psycho, we just want to check that you\u2019re still alive. If you are busy then that is completely fine, we also don\u2019t want to be on our phones 24\/7 (we have lives too), but at least let us know that you can\u2019t talk and will reply when you can. The worst thing you could possibly do is to leave us on read for hours, especially if we can see you\u2019ve been online since. To what might seem like minutes to you, can seem like hours to girls.<\/p>\n
Girl talk is very different to boy talk. It has often been remarked that my messages to my girls are more like essays (what can I say, I am an English student after all!), and girls can often be more talkative than boys over message. It is super annoying when boyfriends reply with one of two lines and fail to acknowledge everything you have said in a message. I mean it is not as if you put loads of thought into that message and expected them to actually read and reply to every line\u2026<\/p>\n
Picture this: you have just ranted to your boyfriend about something, maybe drama with someone in your girl group, or you are mid argument with your boyfriend and they tell you to \u2018chill out\u2019 or use a similar throwaway phrase. Without them knowing it, this is the worst possible thing they could have said and is more likely to make you angrier. Of course they don\u2019t know this, their intention being to try to diffuse the situation, but it makes you feel as if they aren\u2019t listening to you, or that they haven\u2019t taken what you\u2019ve said seriously enough.<\/p>\n
Another thing your boyfriend does that annoys you without him knowing it, is to invite you over under the guise he wants to spend some \u2018quality time\u2019 together, but then when you arrive, he then plays video games with his boys all night. This is not acceptable, while girlfriends understand that you need your boy time too, we don\u2019t want to have to compete for your attention through a mic when we are together.<\/p>\n
My boyfriend has received detailed descriptions of all my friends and is shown a picture of each so he can put a face to a name when I talk about them. I like him to feel like he knows my friends even if he hasn\u2019t physically met them all yet. But it doesn\u2019t always work the same the other way round. Another annoying thing that boyfriends do is to fail to introduce you to their friend\/s when they bump into them when you are out together. This means you are left standing there to the side looking and feeling like a right doughnut, or worse, you have to introduce yourself and risk coming across as an overbearing girlfriend!<\/p>\n
Stereotypically speaking, boys are much more relaxed compared to girls when it comes to organising what you want to do on a particular day. I like to know what I am doing in advance so that I can plan my week ahead. When your boyfriend replies that he might be free Friday but he\u2019s not sure yet, or he is definitely free Saturday but will confirm timings with you nearer the date, it can be enough to push us girlfriends over the edge. Or better still, when your boyfriend organises a surprise but will not tell you anything so you have a meltdown about what outfit to wear etc. etc.<\/p>\n
Boys if you actually looked in your girlfriend\u2019s bag you would see that there isn\u2019t a lot of room in there. This is because most girls carry a condensed version of their whole life with them wherever they go just so that they won\u2019t be caught off guard. When you ask to put your phone, wallet and keys in their bag, not only is this annoying, it also makes their bag even heavier and weighs their shoulders down. I mean the least you could do is to offer to give them a shoulder, back and neck massage as part compensation\u2026<\/p>\n
More often than not this is underwear. Don\u2019t get me wrong sexy underwear is a huge turn on in the bedroom for everyone involved and can be extremely empowering. But when every item of underwear he buys you is a thong or G-string, this can be extremely annoying. Sometimes we need something a bit more substantial (not quite Bridget Jones\u2019 knickers) instead of a bit of dental floss between our butt cheeks. Boyfriends also have the tendency to buy us clothes for a night out that aren\u2019t too tasteful, or too practical. They want to show off every inch of our bodies but little do they know that our blood flow is slowly being cut off by the latest leather number they have got us. They buy clothes with themselves in mind rather than what we really want or need. Have some input boys but remember that we have our own style too.<\/p>\n
Boys we ask your opinion for a reason, especially if we are going on a night out, we like to dress up for your benefit as well as our own. Sometimes this leads us to take risks with our outfit choices and we can be left feeling a little self-conscious. So when we ask for your opinion, we aren\u2019t fishing for compliments (although they would be welcomed), but instead we are asking for reassurance. When boyfriends reply that we look \u2018nice\u2019 and refuse to elaborate, this can be beyond infuriating.<\/p>\n
It is healthy to have friends of both sexes both when you\u2019re single, and when you\u2019re in a relationship. However, sometimes boyfriends can\u2019t help but let their jealousy show via their facial expressions, their body language or their tone of voice. I\u2019m aware this point can work both ways and that girlfriends can react the same way too, but nonetheless, it is still very annoying. Just remember boys, there is no need to be insecure, we love you and are with you for a reason!<\/p>\n
