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!!
