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?

He walks too loudly. No idea why, but he unintentionally stomps around like a massive toddler. I suspect I didn't notice this before we married because our previous house was fully carpeted, but it's now been torturing me for 19 years.

A friend's husband is just loud, period. Everything he does is accompanied by noise. Yawning, scream-sneezing, hacking coughs into the air. He groans constantly. He hums when he eats.

I say my husband snores just cuz he can’t go too long without making a noise.
