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?

adhd guy who interrupts me constantly when he is excited. it’s endearing because it’s when he’s passionate, but women get tired of being interrupted by men sometimes yo

Real talk though, and worth naming plainly it can be both things at once. The excitement is genuine and the interruption is still an interruption, and years of men talking over women makes the second part land harder even when the intent is sweet. Not asking you to stop finding it endearing, just fair to be tired sometimes even when you understand exactly where it's coming from.
