People Reveal Their Biggest Pet Peeves About Their Partner

Sleep Deprived

"Had an ex that always woke me up to cuddle/kiss before he left for the day even after I had asked him a couple times to please let me sleep."

"Maybe that sounds cold, but If I'm deeply asleep and you wake up for work hours before I have to, you should let me sleep."

"A quick kiss would be one thing but he would legit start spooning me and stroking my hair, rubbing my back etc... which always woke me up and I wanted to sleep, not have a full cuddle sesh."

Too Tired To Bend Over?

"When he takes a shower before going to bed, he leaves his clothes on the bathroom floor, even if the laundy basket is right there."

"Instead he puts them in the basket the next morning."

"I cannot for the life of me understand this, but whatever."

Waste Not, Want Not

"Opening a can of seltzer and taking one sip and then I find it the next day still mostly full and flat."

"Leaving the cap off the toothpaste so it gets dry."

"Throwing things away before I've used the last bit."

Social Media

"Having to sit next to them in the evening while they watch TikTok for hours instead of spending time together or paying attention to a movie or show."

Say What You Want

"Lack of communication."

"Literally everyone says they value communication but I've only had a few partners who actually did so. Most people say they do, but the extent that they actually value good communication is mundane stuff like discussing where to get dinner."

"When deeper emotions and/or conflicts need to be discussed, most people go tell everybody else besides their partner and that doesn't sit well with me."

TP Turmoil

"She used a lot of toilet paper, and when we started to run low, she wouldn't buy more. She'd wait until we were out, and then she'd flip out and throw a tantrum when she went to the bathroom and we were out."

"So I started keeping a reserve supply so that the next time this happened I wouldn't need to yet again rush to the store to save the situation."

"When it inevitably happened and I proudly presented a fresh roll she flipped out at me for keeping my reserve stash a secret."

Ssssshhhh! 🤫🤐

"When we're watching something she is interested in, the phone will be down, and there will be silence with the exception of the occasional comment or question about what we are watching."

"If it's something only I am interested in then it's time to talk about her day, or something she saw on the look of faces, to the point where I'll pause what we're watching so I can concentrate on her at which point I'll get, 'Do you want me to stop talking?'."

"Well, yes, but I'm not about to tell her that..."

Not The Word You're Looking For

Brown Sugar

"Using the same teaspoon when making a cup of coffee, then putting the instant coffee granules covered spoon in the sugar jar."

Attention Span

"She wants to watch a show or movie and gets up every 3 f*cking minutes and leaves the room."

"Trying to show her something and say 'WATCH THIS' and she gets distracted within like 10 seconds."

~ PlainOGolfer

Eternal Critic

"Sh*tting on music or TV that I like."

"YOU don’t have to like it, but it’s really a bummer when I’m trying to enjoy something and you just won’t stop talking about how stupid you think it is."

~ Any-Angle-8479

Waiting

"Giving a fair warning what time we need to leave, and not being ready by the time I’m standing at the door."

~ Von_Blazen

Speak Up

"Being silent when we need to talk through an issue."

~ Real_Willingness1004

Another Perspective

"When my late wife started getting sick and had to stop working she was home all day so she would text me all day."

"When I'd get home she'd be working on dinner and the second I put my keys down she'd say something like 'oh can you run to the store? I need an onion' or some other thing that was needed for what she was making.

"It used to irritate the sh*t out of me that she would text me all day and not one text was'can you stop at the store on the way home'. She saved that for the second I walked in the door."

"She died in 2013."

"I'd give almost anything to get home from a long day at work now and have her need me to go to the store."

"It's funny the little irritations become the things you miss the most."
