Some men are high maintenance. Being high maintenance isn’t necessarily bad. It just means that the relationship requires special handling. Here are 13 things that are sure-fire indications that your man might be HM.

(1) He is hard to please in restaurants. He frequently complains of bad service and/or bad food frequently at restaurants.

(2) He seems to disapprove of anything that doesn’t directly validate HIM. For example, you want to go have lunch with some girl friends. You go, but you know your HM man will act like you’ve neglected him.

(3) He wants you to prepare dinner for him every night. He won’t demand it, of course - he just lets you know he really likes it.

(4) When dinner is over, he retires to watch TV while you do the dishes. He’ll help if you ask him to - but you have to ask.

(5) When you have a day off, he wants you to spend it with him. Not doing anything in particular - just being there with him as he goes about his day.

(6) His needs are always seem to be more important than yours. It’s not that he doesn’t appreciate your needs. It’s just that his are so much more pressing to him.

(7) Similar to his behavior in restaurants is his behavior in other businesses. Store clerks often see his bad side.

(8) He is either hot or cold. Everything is wonderful and he is the most fortunate person in the world OR everybody sucks big time, and he is burdened with having to deal with imbeciles all day long.

(9) He’ll give you a fabulous gift - but strings might be attached.

(10) Whether he’s an early riser or a late sleeper, he wants you to do the same.

(11) Similarly, if he’s an early-to-bed guy or a late nighter, he wants you to do likewise.

(12) When you’re apart, he calls you. Often.

(13) He’s not a bad guy. He can be very charming and loving. He is just high maintenance.
