Are you hard work or just high maintenance?
You've been known to be a little bit, um, demanding...but do you go too far. Find out if you're a girl who likes things 'nice' or just your basic nightmare.
|
| 1. | You’re going to a party and, while you’re glammed up, your man is in jeans and a t-shirt (his usual attire). Do you: |
| | |
Sulk and refuse to go to the party until he puts on that Morrissey suit that you bought him. |
| | |
Ask him to maybe put on a shirt, saying that you don’t want him to feel silly because everyone else is dressed up. And then, in the car on the way, ask why he doesn’t feel you’re not worth dressing up for. |
| | |
Not worry about what he’s wearing – if he’s comfortable, that’s fine. |
|
| 2. | He’s cooking dinner for you for the first time. When you arrive, he displays his culinary feat: spaghetti bolognaise from a jar (hideously burnt). What do you do? |
| | |
Scream, “I can’t eat that!” Then suggest: “Let’s go out for dinner instead.” |
| | |
Say, “You couldn’t even be bothered to make something nice for me, you bastard! God, I put all the work into this relationship. I don’t know why I’m here.” |
| | |
Say, “Mmm, spaghetti. My favourite!” and dig in, bless him for making an effort. |
|
| 3. | You’ve made plans to go out together, but when he calls you he says he’s too tired to leave the house and asks if he can reschedule. You say: |
| | |
Say, well, if you can’t be bothered to go out with me… hoping he’ll fall prey to your pout and send flowers the next day. |
| | |
Extend the phone call into a two-hour discussion of why he can’t ever commit to any time with you and what this means about the relationship. |
| | |
Tell him it’s fine – you can go and meet a girlfriend for a drink, anyway. |
|
| 4. | You’ve bought a new dress and want to knock his socks off. When you meet him for dinner he doesn’t seem to notice how fabulous you look. What do you do? |
| | |
Ask him if he’s noticed your new frock and wait for the compliments to start rolling in – once you point something like that out to him, he really goes to town (guilt works a treat). |
| | |
Sulk all the way through dinner and storm off after dessert, saying, “You just don’t care do you?” |
| | |
Feel put out, but don’t say anything – men are blind to these things. |
|
| 5. | You ask him to book a weekend away for the two of you and you’re not happy with his choice – a Rugby match in Melbourne wasn’t quite what you had in mind. What do you say? |
| | |
“I’ll come if I can sit in the executive box – and you can take me shopping afterwards. The shoe stores in that city are fantastic.” |
| | |
“I’m happy to come to that with you, but can we go away again soon to somewhere a little more romantic where we can spend some time alone and talk?” |
| | |
“Sure, whatever. It sounds like, er, fun.” |
