Some of these are exactly what you would expect and others might not have grazed your inner girl radar yet. According to Woman's Day and MSN/Lifestyle here are 9 recommendation's of things you may want to steer away from forcing on your man.

1. To choose between you and his mother

Whatever your issue is with his mother—maybe he sometimes puts her first over you or you two simply don't get along—drop it for your husband's (and your relationship's) sake. She is, after all, the reason he exists in the first place.

2. To listen to you like a female friend would

Your husband should hear you out in tough times, but he shouldn't be your personal venting to-go. "Men and women tend to have different goals with communication, with men concerned about identifying and fixing problems, and women expressing feelings and connecting emotionally, says relationship expert David Bennett, author of Eleven Dating Mistakes Women Make (And How to Correct Them). "To expect him to actively listen to gossip will make him frustrated, and you will be frustrated when he doesn't fulfill that role adequately."

3. To never notice another woman

Men—and many of their wives, too—can't help but notice a beautiful woman, says relationship coach Jason Nik, and it's unreasonable to expect your husband to divert his glance whenever a pretty female walks by. "Looking is natural, and it's not even unhealthy as long as it's just looking," Nik says.

4. To give up his passions, whether professional or personal

Your husband's interests are likely part of what attracted you to him in the first place, so resist resenting the time and energy he spends on those things once you're married.  That said, balance is key: His passion shouldn't deny you regular family time or a weekly date night.

5. To be a different man

It's natural to occasionally wonder why did I marry this person? after many years together. But remember that a trait you loathe in your husband may be the flip-side of one you love, says South Florida–based licensed marriage and family therapist Nakya Reeves.

6. To stop seeing his friends

Your husband needs outside confidantes, pals of his own gender who he can, well, be a guy around, just like you need time with your female friends. "If you cut off those resources, he's going to be less healthy and less happy, and chances are, see you as the source of those feelings," says Masini.

7. To remember every moment in your relationship that was special to you

Women tend to retain emotional memories better than men do—our brains are simply wired that way. While you remember the exact date and time of your engagement, your husband likely doesn't.

8. To share all of your interests

Don't ask him to join you frequently for activities you like but he doesn't, advises relationship expert Tina B. Tessina, PhD. In fact, enjoying time apart with your separate passions will strengthen your bond. "Give him the chance to feel your absence from time to time," she says.

 9. To be the bigger person when you're acting childish

Giving silent treatment and withholding affection (especially sex) in order to get your way is juvenile and counterintuitive: Instead of reacting to you, your husband will likely retreat. Being passive-aggressive "is one of the most destructive forms of relationship communication— it creates a negative cycle that only gets worse and creates anger and resentment," Reeves explains.
