My girlfriend often say "why do you go out of your way to convince me?", or "It feels like you always want to teach". I can't really respond to that because I can't see how this would be bad. Not at a gut level, at least.
Probably because it feels like you're trying to assert too much dominance by controlling her thoughts. People often prefer it if you wait until they ask questions. Of course this may mean you never teach them some things you want to show them, so it's a tradeoff.
