1. Lack of Communication
Communication is key in any relationship, but to women, communication is everything. When men do not communicate openly with their partners, it can cause tension in a relationship and misunderstanding.

2. The Burden of Unshared Chores
Typically, the woman in the relationship carries the load of household responsibilities on herself. When the man pitches in, the act is usually labeled as help or support, when in reality it is just carrying their own weight.
This unfair division of household chores can cause severe relationship problems. For instance, a recent study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior found women who did the larger proportion of the household labor relative to their partners felt lower sexual desire for their partners, as they felt it to be unfair.

Relationships require effort from both partners. When men don’t put in the effort to maintain the relationship, it can be a major turn-off for women. This includes taking the time to plan dates, showing affection, and making their partner feel appreciated. When men don’t put in the effort, it can make women feel unimportant and undervalued in the relationship.
