9. "I hate your mom."

Likewise for his friends, his siblings, his dad … even his dog. If he really loves someone or something, don't hate on 'em. You may not get along perfectly with everyone in his life, but try your hardest to be diplomatic in your relationships with people he really cares about. Be open-minded about what he sees in them (things that may not be immediately obvious to you). Maybe Deadbeat Dave is his oldest friend — the person he survived middle school with; the only person who stood by him when he lost his job a couple years back. Maybe despite his lack of attention to hygiene, he's got a heart of gold. If you love your man, you'll trust his judgment. And whatever you do, don't ever make him pick a side. If it's between you and his mom, you'll lose every time.
