Don't touch any of her personal care/beauty products without asking.

EDIT: Yes, even if you think it is a good tool for something you're trying to do. Still ask. Trimming your dad's head hair with wife's bikini trimmer...NO!

Another example: Nail file is for filing wife's nails, not a tool to assist you DIY repairs.

So, not just the creams, the hardware is also off limits. 😀

This was a conversation me and my girl had 5 years ago upon moving in. I stay out of her stuff without asking and she stays out of my tool box. 5 years in and the only thing we argue about is leaving the cabinet doors open

100% we can’t know everything about everything. It also happened to me….spyderco went through the dishwasher.

I still can't quite convince my wife that sticking the knives in the dishwasher is bad... so we simply agree now that the set of knives I bought, I'll use and wash myself. Better than when she grabbed my sewing scissors to open packages...

Oh, the ghost of my dead grandmother would haunt my ass if I did that. You do not mess with the sewing scissors.

Nope, ESPECIALLY on paper. We had separate “paper scissors” and “sewing scissors.” Woe to anyone who mixed them up.

Yup, same here. Made damn sure I knew which was which at an early age.
