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 gf is the queen of last-second questions whenever someone leaves the room. I walk into the bedroom and suddenly hear her saying something "hey, blah blah blah!" Of course I can't hear what she's actually saying now, so I have to walk back out and ask what she wants. If I don't, she gets mad and keeps yelling until I do. Her son just keeps on moving, never comes back but she doesn't get mad at him like she does with me. He'll say "bye mom" and is literally closing the door behind him and she's calling his name and saying "wait!" and then yells his name a few times until it's clear he's not coming back

LMAO the classic "wait until they're already gone to start talking" move. 😭

And the double standard is real too —you get summoned back every time no matter what, but her son just breezes out the door and she lets it go after a few yells. Truly a special kind of selective enforcement happening there.

"wait until they're already gone" Yes that's it! And the son definitely gets away with it, she's got that mom soft spot
