“I Sleep With The Lights On”: 30 Things No Relationship Can Recover From

Trying to make it work and keep things civil between the two during/after the relationship, all the while he’s out there trying to make you look like a clingy ex who’s obsessed with him

I absolutely agree. Before committing to a relationship you must ensure that one of you will be able to kill the bug.

This is why I left my husband.

The worst feeling is when that fear actually turns out to be true… :(

Ok... So not going to show my list of morning alarms... Noted...

Preaching to the choir. It's horrible when you realize.

Definite dealbreaker! 😄

And for me that’s exactly what happened. Years and years of a relationship that was all just a lie. :(

Fan, white noise, it's on, or you're out 😉

Yeah, that's not fair at all. But you should watch for the signs too.

Hard to come back from that.

Argh no!

The opposite for me, how am I expected to hear what they're saying if I can't read it?

If I see text on the screen I start reading whether I need to or not. I'm a slow reader. So I end up reading the movie instead of watching and no longer enjoy it.

I just got used to them, no biggie.

I'm hearing impaired, very much so. those subtitles stay!

dude i only watch Kdramas if someone said this I'd say "Ok are YOU going to translate this for me?"

I'd find it pretty disturbing if I was the only person he's talking to.

and spiders

My sympathy, that sucks hard.

Wouldn't hurt to be able to be funny on your own. My husband made a promise to himself to make me laugh every day. Sometimes it involves memes, but mostly it will be something he says.

It sucks to be on either side of this. I’m saying this as the one who couldn’t return the love for a person who loved me. I always felt guilty but also I learnt to forgive myself because I can’t force to love someone, no matter how great they might be.

Too late...

...I'm a disappointment in bed that you absolutely should have to experience tonight...🤔 🙅🏽 🤭

That's what nightlights are for and idc what anyone thinks. I need just enough light to know my eyes still work ok when I wake up to go pee 187 times a night, but not enough to keep me awake.

A good pillow over the nose and mouth will stop that! Don't act like you haven't thought about it!! 👩🏼‍🦰

Just because you're an adult doesn't magically make certain foods more palatable.

Being absolutely alone...when you are together...

I love you but I’m not in love with you. BS

Happened to me many times for some reason... Not sure how to trust now...

Very different standards of "clean" and "neat" can make one crazy!!

Women can be abusive too!!!

I don't get it?

Amen!!

The big light is the main living room one. I hate the big light. I like ambient lighting.

😣

What if they're consulting a grammar instructor?

I had an ex like that. Barely laughed at anything I said (and I'm funny dammit!) but she would laugh when watching something on TV. Was so surreal to hear her giggle.

If you are starting over, then you know the last situation was bad. Congrats!! It takes a huge amount of courage to start over. Give yourself a pat on the back, I for one, am proud of you.

“That’s cause you’re taking up the space and resources for another new pet!” *Kicks partner out the door*

I love falling asleep to the sound of rain 🌧️, but real rain so you know you’re all cosy , warm and dry, it’s the best.

Lived it and it sucks. Still trying to get over it 3 years later

Who is "us?"

A good carrot cake rules!

Red flag.

My ex husband knew that marriage was important to me and that I wanted to be married only once. I've been single since our divorce finalized 6 years ago now, and he's on wife #4...

Oh honey, I got your back on this one. If you want something, get it. There's no going home. If he/she canna supply you with the basics, you have to move on. It will become a habit.

A horrible fear.

You deserve a badge or whatever is the thing now. SOOO many people go thru this.

This must be a guy. Sometimes I say "we need to talk ", and then it's "what do you want for breakfast? "

I'd actually prefer the honesty. Otherwise, I'm gonna assume you like it and make it again at some point.

Simp?

What if they work a swing shift or something?
