Wife Keep Putting This Tray On Our White Stairs. Dangerous
Ive told her to stop. She was gonna clean the toilet and thats very good and nice (putting stuff from the toilet room on the tray). But putting a tray like that with a house that has 3 kids i dont think its very safe. Its hard plastic so if somene steps on it ur gonna go sliding. Coming from upstairs its actually very hard to see the tray. Melds in very nicely.

I had to look 3 times to spot the tray, shes trying to k**l you maybe, so dangerous

This Picture Sums Up Living With My Girlfriend
Whoever uses the last of the roll replaces it and whenever it falls on her there’s a 50/50 chance I’ll find it like this. She swears it’s by accident.
Eventually, you’ll have to talk to your partner about any issues you’re having, whether it’s a major disagreement or something smaller, like their slightly messy tendencies.
No matter who you and your partner are, you can’t avoid open, honest, respectful, and empathetic communication if you want a happy and healthy relationship.
It’s non-negotiable, unless you happen to be a mind reader. And as far as we know, the absolute majority of humankind can’t read minds, so you’ll have to have those awkward and essential conversations with your partner to get on the same page. It’s definitely worth the effort.

GF Goes Through Full Tube Of Toothpaste Every Few Days
I don't even know how. Maybe she's eating it.
In short, there’s no alternative to open and kind communication. It is absolutely critical to the success of any relationship.
Problems start to pop up if you don’t (or no longer) feel comfortable communicating with your partner. It can lead to resentment, and it might damage your relationship.

Wife Thought My Favorite Iron Griddle Got Too Dirty And Tried Cleaning It With A Sharp Metal Scraper
My blood curdled at the sound of that scraping.
The fact of the matter is that none of us is perfect. We all have behavioral quirks and small habits that might annoy the people around us. And we all make mistakes, no matter how hard we might try to avoid them.
The healthy thing to do is to accept your personal imperfections as well as your significant other’s. You can try reframing those slightly annoying habits as something endearing and unique instead.

The Sandwiches My Girlfriend Made
My girlfriend is from Colombia and has never heard of or seen a PB&J sandwich. We had a 20 hour road trip planned and I suggest turkey/cheese and PBJs for the road. She mixed all the ingredients together. She made 20 of them.

My Girlfriend Refuses To Eat The “Crust” Of A Pancake
Housework and childcare are pretty big sources of conflict in romantic relationships. As reported by the Institute for Family Studies, a whopping 49% of American couples with kindergarten-age kids argue about chores and responsibilities.
Furthermore, couples who argued about housework the most were less likely to be happy with the quality of their relationships.

My Girlfriend Says She Doesn't Want A Whole Donut
MalayDragon 8 hours ago
Why Take bites... There's these wonderful things called knives that could easily make a full doughnut a half one..
However, chores are far from the only source of tension. As per the IFS, couples also often argue about money (43%), children (41%), being too tired for intimacy (38%), how leisure time is spent (33%), and their in-laws (29%).
Other sources for arguments include showing affection (22%), religion (10%), drinking (8%), and other women or men (4%).

My 5' GF Hung Up This Mirror Based Solely On Her Height
Lady Eowyn 6 hours ago
Revenge for all the mirrors so high that all she could see was the very top of her head.
According to Investopedia, disagreements over money are a leading cause of conflict in relationships. These include different spending and saving priorities.
However, you can avoid arguments and strengthen your relationship by setting clear financial rules, having a budget, being honest in financial matters, and working together on financial plans.

How My Wife Wears Shoes
She has multiple pairs. I think she does it because she’s too lazy to tie her laces.
zububonsai 7 hours ago
This doesn't bother me as much as other posts here (it's her shoes not yours?).
Meanwhile, one recent study that looked at what makes relationships successful found that you should focus more on the dynamic between you and your partner and less on both of your personalities.
In other words, how satisfied you feel that your significant other is with your relationship, and how appreciative you are of them, matters more than who either of you is, or if you check all of each other’s boxes.

My Partner Moves The Drain Catch Out Of The Way Before He Rinses His Cereal Bowl In The Sink. We Do Not Have A Garbage Disposal
The cereal that's in the catch was from me rinsing my bowl first, then he immediately came to rinse his, and moved it out of the way before he rinsed. Now the drain is completely clogged.

Apparently, neither of the have heard of scraping bowls in the bin.

My GF's iPhone Charging Cable Which She Refuses To Change Because “It Works”
“When it comes to a satisfying relationship, the partnership you build is more important than the partner you pick,” the study’s lead author, Samantha Joel, told CNN.
“It seems to me that the relationship is more than the sum of its parts. It’s that relationship dynamic itself, rather than the individuals who make up the relationship, that seems to be most important for relationship quality.”

My Girlfriend Insists On Keeping These Things In The Sink. (I Prefer To Keep Them Outside The Sink). A Minor Thing, But I Just Don't Understand
Been dating an awesome woman for 4 months now. Past the honeymoon stage but definitely in love with each other, I learned that she thinks it's better to keep the dish soap and scrubber IN the sink, but I feel they get in the way--I like access to the WHOLE sink, and like to have the sink empty when it's not in use. Maybe I'm just too picky here, but I find her preference truly annoying, but in a cute way.

My Wife And Kids Find This Perfectly Normal And Acceptable
We're a family of 4. It's the fact that we have 4 bags open at once! Like, no one looked to see if there was already a bag open and each opened a new one. As I mentioned in another post, I merged them all into two full bags and froze one of them.
We usually have one bag going and the rest in the freezer, but as I was not involved in this week's grocery run, they all went into the pantry and none in the freezer.

My Girlfriend Never Ever Finishes Her Meals
Whatever she starts eating, she ALWAYS leaves something on the plate. If she finishes a plate and it was tasty, she'll go for a second plate and again will leave something on the plate. I work for a nature conservation project in my spare time so it makes me sad and a bit angry that 50% of our bin's content is food waste.

Spouse Left The Bathtub Running Unattended For 45 Minutes Yesterday
She left the bathtub running, closed the door to deal with the kids and completely forgot about it. Apparently the upstairs bathroom was full of water leaking into the hallway, and it poured into the basement bathroom. Drop ceiling completely soaked but largely drained on the floor and into the sink. I stripped everything out, put in a dehumidifier, wiped everything down, mopped, and put in an industrial fan. Damage seems limited but I suppose we'll find out in a few days.

My Wife Cuts The Hole In The Milk Bag Too Small, And Doesn't Like It When I Make It Bigger
I know it's the tiniest thing and not really that infuriating, but it does take a few more seconds to pour a bowl of cereal. In a great relationship otherwise.
Zig Zag Wanderer 5 hours ago
How does one store a partially used bag of milk, anyway? Seems ridiculous to me.

My GF Consolidated All The Gummy Candy Together In A Tub That She Left On Top Of The Toaster Oven
I like to treat myself to one pack of gummies a weekend. Recently she decided to open all the packs and mix them together in a tupperware container because "it takes up less pantry space that way". Unfortunately the container didnt fit in the pantry and so she decided to store it on the toaster oven. Now i have an unholy blob of gummies and no easy way to portion control whats left of this stick mess.
