(The Frisky) -- Last night, our own "Listen of Man" columnist was trying to tell me that couples moving in together was the kiss of death for their relationship.

Residual immaturity: No guy completely grows upward (says the girl whose fiancé spent three hours playing NCAA Football 2009 on his PS3 terminal night), but a passionate involvement in something truly juvenile will wear on you lot eventually, if not immediately. "I discovered his hugger-mugger stash of comic books; I started to notice that the reason he got upwardly early on Sat mornings was to lookout man cartoons, and approximate what? Pretty soon I stopped feeling attracted to him," says Katie.

3. Differing opinions on A) Meal responsibility and B) Palate: If s/he's not accepting of the fact that you lot will non ever melt for him/her (A), and particularly not a steak because you lot're a vegetarian (B), your human relationship is well-done and charred.
