Even if men don't reproach it immediately, you'll be surprised to find out later that a certain thing you did bothered him even more than you have imagined. So it's better to avoid or at least to talk every time there has been such a problem in order not to bring additional problems in the relationship.
But what are those things that bother him so much?
1. The authoritarian tone
Men don't like to receive orders on an authoritarian tone. Let them think that they have control over the situation, just because they are men. They really need to feel this.
Even if they don't like a more incisive addressing, it doesn't mean that they don't like sometimes to receive orders. In most cases, the woman is more organized than they are; they need her to tell them what to do, but on a tone of equality.
2. To be always criticized
Is it true that they don't make everything well, that they forget to buy you flowers or to help you shopping, but you shouldn't dramatize and criticize them every time. They will refuse to make certain things or they will make them wrong and you won't get anything good out of it.
3. To disclose spicy details about your relationship to your best friend
What happens in your bedroom should stay there. Or at least, this is what men want. Only the idea that your friends know all the spicy details of your relationship disgusts him. Men don't like to be commented, analyzed or, even worse, to be the subject of the Saturday night gossip- it will create them a feeling of insecurity.
4. To give a special attention to his friends
Indeed, he is really excited that you hang out with his friends; but if you exceed the limit, or if he thinks that, especially regarding your "interest" towards his friends, he might become jealous. Maybe you just want to be nice and to join his group or maybe this is your nature- sociable and exuberant- but he might perceive it differently. He will feel threatened and will not agree with a too closed connection between you and his friends.

Absolutely right. Men want to be the one in charge, and certainly do NOT like to be told what to do. Honestly, I don't like that either! ;-)
women don't like those things either.
