22 Things You Should Forgive Your Boyfriend For
While I was looking around The Frisky, I noticed a list that I wanted to share with you all. The list is bellow. Let me know of you agree with it.
- Forgetting to put the toilet seat down
- Occasionally surfing the internet with one hand
- Wearing fugly mandals (busted toes not included)
- Working too much
- Not liking the food you cooked
- Being too drunk to screw after a party
- Giving you a lame birthday present.
- Eyeballing another chick’s boobs
- Knocking out all your DVR’d shows because he recorded a marathon of “Dual Survival”
- Unleashing a fart during sex
- Leaving the cap off the toothpaste
- Having a weekly men-only night
- Being 15 minutes late without texting
- Buying you the wrong size lingerie
- Always turning everything into a competition
- Blowing a bunch of cash on some dumb gadget he can’t even figure out how to work that’s just going to collect dust in the garage graveyard of his other crazy purchases
- Letting dirty dishes fester
- Renting a crappy action movie for your date night
- Insisting on keeping his patchy, scraggly beard/’stache/facial hair concept
- Going to a strip club every now and again
- Refusing to pick you up a box of tampons
- Repeatedly trying to talk you into anal
Even though my boyfriend does do most of these things, there is one thing on the list I can not live with is repeatedly trying to talk me into something I don't want to do. Sexual pressure isn't something that should be acceptable in any relationship.
Is this list ridiculous or right on? Are there any other man sins you should forgive?

Inconsistent format...but thats forgiveable I suppose! ;)
Work to much or just enough to survive? If he loves you, the birthday GIFT shouldn't REALLY matter, should it?! I mean after
a while (years and years later) its going to get tough. I'll never refuse to buy tampons, because I feel just as awkard
buying condoms.
Agree, sexual pressure though is, to a point, unforgiveable.
I kind of expect most of this. Who would ask their man to go get them tampons? That's just wrong...and I would WANT him to have a men only night once a week.
@sempermedusa@xanga - Sometimes you just need a hand, and it's nice of him.
I disagree with some things on this list, but that's probably because I read into things somewhat deeply and I think some of those hint to deeper issues. And I am a very forgiving person.
Wearing the same t-shirts for the duration of your relationship, be that one year or fifty.
My mom's learned to live with that one, and I can see if coming for me and my boyfriend.
"eyeballing another chick’s boobs" is pretttty damn rude. i know we all like to notice things about the opposite sex, but dear hell, have some discretion. and people who are chronically late are kind of aggravating.
@sempermedusa@xanga - i guess this refers to the times you really need them and can't get them yourself. i think it's more of a problem when the guy is so insecure/immature that he refuses to help you out.
I don't think it's necessary to "forgive" the strip club thing. If he's in a relationship with you and he knows it makes you uncomfortable, then he can give up seeing other women naked in person for the duration of the relationship.
just the tip, baby. why would you post this for everyone to see?
I'd say a good one would be: not contacting you.
Sounds lame, but sometimes my guy will go a loooong while not calling/texting/emailing me, which sends me into a frenzy thinking he's gotten tired of me or something. It usually just turns out to be something stupid like, "I just didn't have anything to say! But I'm still crazy about you!"
While some of those should be forgiven I would be able to get over a lot of those. #'s 2, 6, 9, 21, and the added 23. 2 I'm assuming is about porn, and while some (crazy I might add) girls are ok with letting their men watch porn I am not ok with it at all. 6 I'm not ok with the drunk part. While #9 is something all men do (it's a guy thing appaently), it's something that is able to be controlled. 21, NOT AT ALL!!! It's as bad as watching porn. And I agree with you one 23. No one should be pressured into doing something you don't want to do.
I can forgive everything else.
I'd get mad if he let the dishes stay dirty because everyone who knows me, knows I don't like to do dishes because it hurts my hands a lot. So they do the dishes.
Also I hate the term mandals!
Do not agree.
Number 21? Umm i think NOT.
No way.
11 and 21? really?
@EccentricSiren@xanga - Is it necessary to 'forgive' a leash one insecure or demanding partner is putting on the other?
You do understand that while his action may make you uncomfortable, the reverse is also true?
forgiving.. more like condone. wrong word usage.
I should leave him if he's doing #21 because clearly I don't do it for him. Bugging for sex should be on the list. Especially if I have a headache.
@EricBeck@xanga - I think that in a relationship, both parties have to be willing to stop doing things that make the other person uncomfortable, at least within reason (Asking your partner not to have any friends besides you would be too demanding, for instance). A woman not wanting her boyfriend to go to a strip club isn't "insecure and demanding". To me, it's reasonable. Would you want your partner purposely putting herself in a position to be sexually aroused by someone other than you? If the idea does bother you, does that automatically make you "insecure" and "demanding"?
If the male partner is uncomfortable with the female partner reading romance novels, then she should stop reading them for the duration of the relationship. And if he would rather go to strip clubs and she doesn't like it, then she can leave. He's obviously made his choice and it isn't her.
Where's #8?
What's number 8?
Somethings like buying lingere and tampons I won't ask my boyfriend to do...but some things I can forgive him for...
Yeah, everything on that list is something I could forgive after a time. Nothing on there is worth holding a grudge about. I know some people are pissed about #21 but thankfully my boyfriend thinks girls that look like that are gross. And I told him even if he ever did consider going that I wouldn't be pissed about it if he brought me along with him ;) Cause boobs are always a good time.
But anyway I think people are forgetting that though these are forgivable...forgiving doesn't mean "blowing it off". It's perfectly fine to get mad about some of these things at first. It's about letting it go after you've been through the anger, talk about it with him and moving on. When people take everything in life too seriously and believe that they deserve a perfect fucking man...I'm sorry but I just can't be around you. It's one thing to respect yourself and believe you don't deserve constant bullshit, but no one deserves a relationship on a silver platter. No one is that amazing and special. If you have a hard time dealing with his dirty socks then maybe he should have a hard time dealing with you taking an extra 10 minutes to get ready. It's just petty shit...
LOL or how about you should forgive your boyfriend for everything because it simply isn't healthy to hold grudges? Plus if you seriously love each other I don't see why you wouldn't be forgiving.
@sempermedusa@xanga - I sometimes ask my guy to get me my pads or tampons. He doesn't mind. Most guys don't.
Where's number 8?
I don't I would care about this stuff much..He doesn't do half these stuff anyhow...>.> This is quite petty.
