    Don't mansplain. Plantain? sustain? maintain? Samhain (haha, not how it's pronounced.)

    Are you talking about manscaping? 😂

    I think that's agreeable to some and others, not.

    No, I mean is that the word you were looking for?

    NO, but thank you. I think mansplaining is a man talking down to a woman or assuming ignorance.

    Did I just do it? ugh.

    Oh, sorry. Never heard of that terminology. And no, you didn't. 😉

    If your partner says "no" about something, no means no. Not maybe, not try again later, it means NO. You wanna talk about it at a later date, cool, but don't blatantly disrespect another person because you didn't like the answer you got.

    What do you charge for training? I need to send someone your way....

    Communication is key
    Sometimes the truth isn't good enough
    Never let anyone physically or emotionally abused you... Love doesn't hurt
    If you think that they aren't saving that leftover in the fridge because it's been there for a day or two, most likely you're wrong

    What kinda training are we talking about here? I work on a tier level. Some levels are more "intense" than others. ;)

    Don't surprise them when they come home from work by converting the garage into a shrine for Whoopi Goldberg.

    Not quite @slimgirljo15 intensity. ;) Just the basics, like not draping every piece of furniture in the living room with dirty clothing.

    My mom has given me a list like this so that I’ll know what to do when I have my first girlfriend. I want to show her everything you all have suggested to see what she thinks and if it should be added to the list.

    Thank you for being helpful

    Don't start an argument you can't finish in the potpourri aisle at Target.

    Don't get wasted in front of her parents and start crying about your ex. True story.

    If she tells you she wants needs something from you - maybe take it serious even if you think it’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever heard

    I like really this one. A little female perspective. I told my fiancé I wished he’d give me a kiss in the morning, even though I’m usually still sleeping. I know it made no sense to him and he doesn’t really get it. But everyday since he has woke up, walked around the bed and has given me a forehead kiss. I know because it wakes me up, but I don’t say anything. And this small little kiss, it starts my day off on a good note, it fills my heart up and makes me feel so loved, it reminds me he cares about what I need.

    Funny you mention this - just happens to be a request i did not take seriously

    I think a lot of people (maybe more men than women?) forget that the little things matter. I rather have someone kiss me while they think I am asleep than buy me flowers.

    Now you tell me... I've watched you sleep so often and didn't want to wake you. If you just unlock your window, next time you'll get a 😙

    😁

    I don't know if this is creepy or adorable! 😂

    Don't leave your *kitten* in the middle of the floor and then be surprised when she curses and screams at you because she broke her toe/foot AGAIN because of something dumb you did while being an inconsiderate *kitten*.

    Don't marry the first person you sleep with when you come out of a combat zone unless you were sleeping with them before you left.

    This made me laugh pretty hard. It reminds me of the time my mom decided she was scared of Ellen Degeneres due to a nightmare, and I taped magazine photos of Ellen in every glass part of her china cabinet.

    (I wish I could say "when I was a kid" but it was in August of this year)
