Love is not; buying your partner something expensive on a specific date
Love is not; bringing home flowers to say sorry
Love is not; only cooking dinner because your partner is ill
Love is not; saying I love you on St. Valentines Day
Love is not; dropping your knickers because it's been a while
Love is not; taking a shower before sex
Love is not; only cuddling her when you are drunk
Love is not; giving in just for the sake of peace and quiet
Love is not; rolling your eyes when your partner speaks
Love is not; humiliating your partner in front of strangers
Love is not; a wedding ring
Love is not; lashing out and apologising
Love is not; chatting people up when out with your friends because they will never know
Love is not; bullying your partner into submission
Love is not; being derogatory
Love is not; having sex when you don't want to
Love is not; staying together because of the mortgage
Love is not; having affairs
Love is not; sex
Love is not; going to bed early or staying up late to avoid sex
love is not; lying
Love is not; slagging her off to your workmates
Love is not; rolling over to sleep once you've cum
Love is not; eyeing up women in the work van
Love is not; saying 'I did it because I thought you liked it'
Love is not; forcing your opinion on someone
Love is not; leaving the room because she's watching shit on telly
Love is not; spending the household budget on yourself
Love is not; taking things for granted
Love is not; finished when your child is born
Love is not; only giving massage when you want sex
Love is not; sitting in the car while she shops
Love is not; any of the above
