Is it bad to tell your girlfriend she's high maintenance?

[Michael Fazzina]

I think it all depends on how your relationship is. If it's a relationship where anything can be said with at least some understanding and trust then I'd say give it a shot. It would also depend on how tough her skin is. My relationship with my girlfriend is one where we can say anything to each other. Lots and lots of communication. Good luck!

It's okay to tell your g/f she's high-maintenance if it won't bother you too much if she breaks up with you then.

My (second) wife is extremely low-maintenance, looks good anyway, and likes football and NASCAR. She's still irritating in other ways however. Moral of the story, women are going to be a pain in the ass no matter what. I'm sure they say the same about us.

The more I learn about women, the more I like my truck.

All women are high maintenance. Some are just higher or lower then normal.

Ha!! When my wife asks the "fat" question I tell her exactly what TJR said. If she says "I've lost 5 pounds" I tell her to turn around 'cause I found it.



Next anniversary will be 22 years. She says she appreciates my honesty, my sarcasm and my humor - and she knows that's what it all is. And on top of that she gives better than she gets. Two peas in a pod. She's no more maintenance than a rock, and that's why I love her. Well, one reason anyway!



If they can't take it - get away quick.

My wife told me one day that she knows she is high maintenance. But I am the maintainer so I could care less. I like doing things for her because it's normally easy stuff. She's not a big jewerly person and not into gadgets. She wants me to make dinner or give the kids a bath or something like that and I can do that. I see nothing wrong with telling the truth though. She just has to toughen up the hide a little bit.

Tell her, but don't expect it to make a difference. My wife is high maintenance, but I can't complain- I am too!
