    Oh, it's all in fun! No one's hating on their partner and pretty sure most if not all love and like their sweethearts way beyond the pet-peeving.

    Venting! ...and fine, making a bit of fun of them too - or the situations.

    On that note, I'll say it riles me when my guy's gone to bed before me, usurped my pillow, and is holding it so tightly I have to have a mini tug o'war to get it back =)

    I have some family that takes their minor annoyances too far. My brother once immediately dumped his girlfriend for cheating at a board game. Closed it right up and made her leave. My cousin also dumped his girlfriend in college because she beat him at Madden Football in front of his friends. I think we are alright! :lol:
    Mr. RK refuses to play Mortal Kombat with me because I always kick his ass.
    There may or may not be some disagreements over that game in my household. Please tell me you are not a button masher!

    "What do you want for dinner?"
    "I don't know, what do you want?"

    When in doubt I give him a burger. The man would eat a cheeseburger for dinner every night if I let him.

    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    :lol: to the above few posts lol!


    And to the negative comment - there isn't anything I've posted here that I haven't said to my husband's face.

    I get what you're saying, however, I like honesty.
    Oh please let it rain today.

    Every. Single. Day.

    Lol
    same here :anguished::lol:
    Usually goes something like this when dining out:

    "Where do you want to eat?"
    "Oh, I don't care, you pick?"
    "How about Restaurant 1?"
    "No, we just ate there last week."
    "How about Restaurant 2?"
    "Eh, I didn't really like it last time we ate there."
    "How about Restaurant 3?"
    "Oh, absolutely not! So-and-so works there and I can't stand that bitch!"
    "What about that new place?"
    "We ordered lunch there at work and it wasn't any good."
    "Uhh, ok, so, where do you suggest?"
    "I don't care, wherever. I just know I'm hungry and I need to eat soon."
    image

    I make him pick, I could really eat leftovers from the day before, but he won't eat them until a week or more later (gross I know).
    "How about burgers?"
    "I had burgers for lunch"
    "ok, Thai food?"
    "I'm going to a lunch meeting tomorrow, and we usually have Thai"
    "pasta?"
    "ehhhhhhhh......"
    "FINE! YOU PICK"

    I don't even know why he asks me. :angry:
    Hahaha glad to see others know what I mean

    How about this one?

    Order has already been placed.....
    "Did you ask for dressing on the side?"
    "Did you tell me to ask for dressing on the side?"
    "No"
    "Then no I didn't tell them that"
    "Can you call them back?"

    :dizzy:
    :lol: ! Haha! But you still love her don't ya? :smiley:
    of course :smiley:

    That's true. I guess what I was trying to say (in a short-hand kind of way) was that I think it's better to focus on what you LIKE about a partner rather than dive into the negative place of focusing on things you DON'T like.

    I am always surprised by the way people inadvertently build up negative feelings for their partner!
    Completely agree. I've been in way too many relationships where she or I have looked for things to be angry about, instead of just being happy with the positives. It's toxic. I've done a lot better with it as I've gotten older - for me, it was mostly being young and stupidly jealous. And now, if I'm dating someone and it becomes apparent that this is their behavior pattern, it's pretty much a deal breaker.

    I don't let things build up...I let him know ASAP. We don't fight often but when we do it's hot tempered but short :time_out:

    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I hate empty pop bottles all over. We have a bin outside!

    I HATE oily hands mucking up door handles! Ugh!

    I HATE shoes that are left RIGHT in front of the door when you walk in, for real!???

    I HATE the over flowing trash.

    Someone I think already mentioned opening cupboard doors and drawers and not closing them! HATE!

    Wiping crumbs on the floor. HATE!

    And I think already mentioned. If you take something put it back EXACTLY where you found it! HATE FINDING THE MUSTARD IN THE DRAWER IT BELONGS IN THE DOOR DAMN IT!

    I was wondering when sex would come into play...
    You could make an option that says:
    "She doesn't want sex every day"
    90% of guys would check that box lol

    markymark, thank you for bringing up the shaving over the toilet thing in the manbeard thread as you reminded me of another peeve!

    After I leave for work, my husband will sometimes scoop the cat poop out of the litter box and dump it into the toilet...BUT DOES NOT FLUSH IT.

    So I'll come home at lunch, go to pee, and upon lifting the seat be greeted with stinky waterlogged logs :angry:
