Do you break up more than you make up? Here are 5 stupid mistakes Pinays commit to the detriment of their relationships. Check them out before yours goes down the drain!

Mommy Dearest. Chances are, your guy grew up with a mother—there’s no need to act like one. Nagging him to get things done and scolding him when he doesn’t are big no-no’s. If you’d like him to accomplish a task, speak to him in earnest—make it clear that this is important to you. If he falls back on your agreement, give him a second chance. You have every right to be peeved, but there’s no need to overreact. You don’t want him to feel like he’s about to be grounded.

If you’ve seen “The Ugly Truth,” you’ve probably learned a thing or two about the male species. Leading man Mike Chadway, played by 300’s Gerard Butler, puts it best when he says, “Men are simple.” So forget everything your girlfriends told you about men—and throw out that dog-eared copy of “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus.” Advice for women, by women (or well-meaning men), about men, is just plain useless—according to the film. “At the end of the day, all we’re interested in is looks,” claims Mike. “No one falls in love with your personality at first sight.”
