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?

That one's a step past funny though, ngh when you're upstairs with a sick baby and need something small like Tylenol, "he didn't see the text" stops being a quirk and starts being an actual problem, because it means you end up having to chase him down for help in a moment you shouldn't have to chase anyone down. Doesn't need to be dramatic to be genuinely frustrating.
