3. She doesn’t baby me enough when I’m not feeling well
4. She does embarrassing things when she drinks too much
And here are Lou’s top two responses for the last straw:
She wanted an engagement ring

How To Make Love Last
How To Make Love Last(From Glamour)
Once a week...
-- Fight (a little). Keep little things from growing out of proportion by fighting it out.
-- Compliment each other. Try daily to notice something worth a mention.
-- Let something go. There's stuff that matters...and there's stuff that will drive you nuts forever -- try to let one go.
-- Laugh really hard. Laughter is a relationship's Krazy Glue: It bonds you.
Once a month..
-- Be do-gooders. Helping out together (even just to assist a pal) highlights common values and will bring you together.
-- Talk about money. Whether it's 'Should we open a joint account?' or just 'Hey, let's split the bill tonight.'
-- Declare something strictly between the two of you. Whether it's a silly nickname or a bedroom mishap, share something intimate that stays only with the two of you.
Once a year...
--Take on a project. Restore an old car, or put up shelves
-- team projects are great relationship cement.
-- Get a dog. Or at least a plant. Care for a living thing that can grow with your relationship.
-- Confess. Wanna be President? Have a dark family secret? If you can't tell your partner, how much of a partner do you have?

Angry Moms
According to a survey of more than a thousand mothers, the majority confess to being angry. So what's making them so mad?
-- They're mad that they spend more mental energy on the details of parenting than their husbands do.
-- They're mad that their spouses, who can manage businesses or keep track of thousands of pieces of sports trivia, can be clueless when it comes to what their kids are eating or what supplies they need for school.
-- And more than anything else, moms are mad that their husbands get more time to themselves than they do.
By the numbers:
-- 46 percent of moms get irate with their husbands once a week or more. Those with kids younger than one are even more likely to be mad that often.
-- Many moms -- 44 percent-- are angry that dads often don't notice what needs to be done around the house or with the kids (it jumps to 54 percent for moms with three or more kids).
-- 40 percent of moms are also angry that their husbands seem clueless about the best way to take care of kids.
-- 31 percent of moms say their husbands don't help with the chores -- in fact, they generate more.
-- 33 percent of moms say their husbands aren't shouldering equal responsibility and are less concerned than they are about their children's basic needs, like nutrition and clothing -- a number that rises to 41 percent for those with three or more kids.
-- 50 percent of moms say their husbands get more time for themselves.
-- 60 percent of moms don't tell their friends what they're going through, or they make light of it.

Ideas for Planning a 'Girl's Only" Non-Superbowl Weekend:
If you're a girl who isn't into football and the Superbowl, here are three cute party ideas for you and your friends while your men celebrate Superbowl weekend.
1. The Sleepover Spa Weekend: You and your girlfriends can get together and give each other manicures and pedicures, and pop in a yoga video to have a group workout. You might even book appointments at a spa for facials and massages, then head out to a nice restaurant once you're all relaxed and beautiful.
2. The "Man, I Feel Like A Woman" Weekend: With all the men out of the way, you and your friends can indulge in girlie-ness. Lounge around eating candy, blast music and sing along or do Karaoke, and hold a movie marathon featuring all of your favorite chick flicks and tear-jerkers.
3. The Blast From The Past Weekend: You and your girlfriends can behave like a bunch of teenagers again. Spread out your sleeping bags for a pajama sleepover. Play truth or dare, gossip about boys over popcorn, and break out movies that were popular when you were in high school.

Annoying Female Behavior
From Guyism.com, here are some of the most annoying things women do:
1. Bathroom Field Trips -- Group trips to the restroom makes guys wonder if a girl is even capable of going to the bathroom in public alone.
2. Being Fake -- Women who hate each other will smile, kiss each other on the cheek, and offer a compliment.
3. Nibbling Off Your Plate -- Guys can't stand it when you leave half your meal on your plate or will only eat a salad.
4. Gossiping -- Guys think women feel that cutting down others makes them feel better about themselves.
