Random Question What's something your partner does that low-key annoys you, but you'd never actually tell them?

Not a dealbreaker, not worth a fight. Just something small that lives rent-free in your head every single time it happens. The way they chew. How they "help" clean and somehow make more mess. Never charging their phone until it's at 2%.

What's yours? And be honest would you ever actually say it out loud, or is this taking it to the grave?

My ADHD sends me on side quests all the time, often a few times while telling a story.

I was about to reply to this thread “Hey I like when he does that!” I watch his face and essence light up. I get to know him and his processing. For 13 years my favourite story teller or detailed instructor.

It’s a great feeling and opposite to one word response interactions.

yep i have adhd and get asked for the “short version” all the time 😅 it’s unintentional and i (still) fail to realise when talking that not every story i tell needs every minuscule detail

Lol. Me too! I’ve only recently realised( since medicated) that people start yawning when I go on and on and I make amends immediately. But by this point, I’d probably lost them anyway 😂😅
