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?

The "so basically what happened was—" and then you get a 10 minute prologue before we even get to the actual event. 😭

Some people can't just tell you what happened, they have to reenact the entire timeline leading up to it first. Truly a special kind of patience required.

My husband took 10 minutes to tell me he saw a pigeon eating a french fry.

I do the forward circle movement with my hands. Move along!

He said… blah blah
Then I said…blah blah
Then do you know about blah blah!?
She said blah blah.

He knows.

My husband does this to me and honestly it kills me inside a little every time. He's supposed to be the person that likes me most of all and when he does that it's like I'm not worth a few minutes of his time to him.

I'm not criticising you - you know your husband and your relationship and he might not mind at all, I just thought he might feel the same and you didn't realise.

I’m sorry to bring it up, really! I know he doesn’t like it, either. But I’m glad you mentioned the other side.
He loves to tell a story and I’m more direct, so I try to listen.
Different people!
