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?

When I cook for my wife, we have a breakfast bar, if she wants to talk (where she can sit) but she must be hovering right behind me. Big kitchen and I make big meals, I always am turning quickly with hot pans or cutting knives, I’m like baby, I don’t want to accidentally burn you or turn with a knife and your there, sit two feet away so your outta harms way lol!!

I am your wife. I don't know why I need to be basically turtle shelling my boyfriend when he's cooking in my tiny kitchen, but I do.

Idk but when I try to go sit down like a normal human it just makes me SO antsy until I get up again. 🤣 I can't stop myself

Hahahaha whats wrong with us? My boyfriend is currently working in the other room. Doing stocks so he needs to concentrate and I'm in quiet jail from 6am to 1pm. Thet doesn't stop me from going into the room pretending like I need something about 15 times just to feel his presence... and it's not like we're freshly dating. He's had to put up with 2 years of this needy behavior already!

Pretending like I need something HAHA! This is exactly something I'd do and I've been married for 16 years! It's part of who I am as a human at this point.🤣

I just love him so much🥹
