This is more of a bare minimum thing, I think. I need to improve in that department.

    Princess treatment because I assume "coffee order" in this case means some Starsh*ts abomination with two pumps of this, three pumps of that, almond milk not regular and all that jazz. There's no way I'm gonna learn that ridiculous stuff by heart.

    This is assuming a 'male is stronger' stereotype, which although usually true may be varied in some cases. There were certainly times when my wife would routinely take the heavier bags, albeit as a long-term result of injury and the fact that she was a swimmer with powerful upper body muscles.

    The point of standing of the traffic side of the sidewalk is to protect the lady. It goes back to older times of carriages and horses, when traffic rules were nothing like today. But even today, I have seen cars splashing muddy water on the sidewalks during rainy days; worse, there were car accidents (driver lost control, car went on the sidewalk). If protecting your girl is "princess treatment" to you, perhaps you are not the man you think you are.

    Too many cats in the house. I would smite anyone who lit a candle in my house XD (And I do love the flickering light of candles, but unfortunately, many scented candles trigger a migraine. But if I didn't have very flammable cats, and someone chose an unscented candle, it would be a nice gesture occasionally!)
