You know how you love someone, like really love them, but they do things that drive you absolutely up a wall? You’d probably go ahead and let them know, right?
Not necessarily…
Today we have a question from u/Familiar_Stranger936 over on Reddit that hits on just this. They asked:
“What do you hate about your partner, but can’t tell them?”
And the answers are simultaneously sweet and a little painful. You’ll see what I mean; I rounded up some of the best answers for your perusal.
1. Stop singing
My wife took singing lessons as a kid. She is certain that she has a great singing voice. She does not. It’s so hard to be in the same house when she’s singing but I love her dearly and would never ask her to stop.
2. Take the critique
He’s really really bad at taking criticism. Really bad. And I can’t tell him this because feedback loop etc.
3. Hamburger.
The way she pronounces the word “hamburger” makes me die inside.
“ham BIRD gr”
4. Eating noises
That she sounds like a horse when she eats a bowl of cereal.
5. Too slow
She’s one of those people that walks too slow in the grocery store and stands there looking at shit forever trying to decide what to get not aware that 2 other people right behind her trying to grab what she’s in front of and go
6. Snoring
His snoring. It’s not something he can necessarily control but he snores SO loud that it disrupts my sleep.
7. MAKE UP YOUR MIND
How indecisive she can be. We’ve talked and she’s doing better. But it is extremely exhausting to plan nearly every single date/event/thing we do.
8. This one’s sad
I feel loved but not wanted
9. Two things
She has a hard time cleaning up after herself.
I work full time during the week, she works weekends. The house is a mess during the week and spotless during the weekend. Monday night, I come home and it’s a mess again. Oof, lady. Get it together.
And the way she drinks. Gulps everything like she out of air and the only way to get more is to suck it off the bottom of whatever vessel she’s drinking out of. Food noises kill me and she knows it but the gulping is unconscious so I try not to let it bother me.
Love her more than everything. She’s my best friend in all ways. But those are the two.
10. Totally different
We’re completely different regarding physical affection.
