You're Judgmental - She already has a daddy to tell her what to do, and you are not that man. Being critical of her friends, her clothes, her hair — these are things that will quickly push her out the door.(Photo: Geri Lavrov/Getty Images)

You Don't Appreciate Her - From cooking dinner to holding you down while things are hard at work, she has your back. But if you never say thank you or return the favor, you may find that she has better things to do.(Photo: Natalia Maximova/Getty Images)

You Dismiss Her Feelings - You and your partner are different people with your own histories and emotions, so you will likely have different reactions to situations. When you dismiss how she feels, what you're really saying is that who she is and what she cares about are not important to you.(Photo: John Henley/Getty Images)

You Don't Make Her Feel Secure - This isn't about "being a man," this is about letting her know that you are committed to her and your relationship and that she can let down her guard with you. She doesn't need you to carry her, but she needs to know that you will catch her if she falls.(Photo: moment images/Getty Images)

You Ask Her to Be Small - Any time you — directly or indirectly — ask a woman to somehow be less than her full, dynamic self, not only are you telling her that you don't love all of her, but you are hinting that her full self is not loveable. When she gets tired of hiding her light, she will leave you and go shine somewhere else.(Photo: fatihhoca/Getty Images)

You Don't Speak Her Love Language - From giving gifts to spending quality time, everyone receives and expresses their love in their own way. That means there's a good chance you won't start out speaking the same language. The key is that you must be willing to learn hers.(Photo: Rob Lewine/Getty Images)

You Don't Make Yourself Vulnerable - No relationship can grow if you are afraid to be honest about your feelings and motivations. Let down your guard and you'll open yourself to intimacy unlike anything you've ever experienced.(Photo: Wavebreak/Getty Images)
