What things in dating/marriage have you seen that really annoy you? Things you would never do in your own relationship?

#1

Calling your boyfriend your "bestfriend," in front of family/friends that have been there for you forever. Seriously. Especially girls who "married their best friend" when their childhood bestie is their maid-of-honor. Also, couples that only pay attention to each-other, even when they are in social situations. Yuck.

    People who call their spouse "Wifey" or "Hubby". I don't know why, but it just rubs me the wrong way. Same goes for those terms that people use for anime character they're attracted to (I have zero clue how to spell them)

    Same. I know it's popular in UK and with their accent it sounds British, but when I read it in comments I can't help by use my Canadian accent and it sounds bratty in a childish way, as if they're bragging they have a husband/wife and want to flaunt their gushy love. At least to me.

    Not texting back. I've gotten more gracious (I used to get really anxious after 20 minutes, but I've learned otherwise) but my ex would never text me back and I would see him the next day and he still wouldn't have texted me back.

    I hate having to text people back. Does that make me seem rude?

    Depends on what it’s about. I’m okay with waiting if I am just reaching out to have a conversation with someone, but if I’ve asked a question about information I need, then I hate it when people don’t immediately text me back.

    PDA and making out in public. Keep that damn BS to yourself. Also saying “honey” to your partner in public is a deep hatred I have. It sounds so annoying.

    PDA is embarrassing if it is of the prolonged sort. A hug or a brief kiss is okay, especially in airport if you are saying goodbye or greeting each other after a long trip.

    Not having integrity. If you say you'll do something, I expect you to follow through with it. If you're not gonna take the bins out, I'd rather you just say that so I can do it myself.

    I know my husband swore if we got the bigger dog like he wanted he would help with walks. He's walked her twice in 3 months. I walk her twice a day normally.

    Being with my ex misses for 5 years. Don’t remember seeing her replace to loo role once. Even when we got our own house. New one was always on top of the old one or on the sink ect..

    I believe this means the toilet paper roll was never replaced properly by spouse. Just placed on top of the old roll or on nearby sink. This a pet peeve of mine too

    Not picking up after yourself. I'm your partner, not your maid.

    I used to work in a grocery store, and often I would see old married couples who were dressed the same. For example, blue jeans and the same gray Key West sweater. I always felt bad for the husbands, cause you know it wasnt their idea.

    My friend definitely does this. He does the stereotypical wife stuff, and she does the husband stuff. They are so perfect together.

    I have done the "partner looks" with my bf a few times because it was HIS idea and he wanted us to do it... I find it funny but I would have not thought of it if him would have not propose it

    Could it have been unintentional in that case? This has happened to my boyfriend and I a couple of times without realizing it. But yeah, as a rule I don't get couples that dress the same

    Expensive, high calorie restaurant meals all the time. I am on a budget and a diet, BTW

    Cook and eat at home, cheaper and healthier.

    Besides PDAs, - When people feel the need to talk about their significant other all the time. Dude, I’m aroace. While I’m happy for you, I’m not comfortable hearing the lovey-dovey stuff you do with your partner. The only info I need is who you are dating, how long you’ve been dating and when you break up so I can at least respect your dating life. Talk to me about anything else, and keep your relationship your private business.

    Honestly asking not trying to be a jerk. Is it ok talk about my husband if it's not lovey dovey? Like if I said "Joe and I were out walking and he stepped on a rake and looked just like a cartoon" would that type of stuff be okay?

    Absolutely, stuff like that doesn’t bother me, especially if I’m also friends with the husband.

    Yep. This drives me nuts.🤣 Okay, okay, I knoowwww your girl-friend is awesome, but there are thousands of other girls that can make gourmet mac-and-cheese as well. Get over it.

    I am up front about my issues. They are non negotiable; you cannot "fix" me. Do not agree thinking that I will change or that you can change me; do not agree simply because you think that is what I want to hear. If I am not what you are looking for, just say so; do not simply go along because you think it will be different later down the road. You will be wasting your time and mine.

    Not respecting my space and allowing me to have time to myself. I require a lot of solitude otherwise I get short with people over minor things, and I will feel a deep annoyance of their presence. Doesn't matter who they are. When I feel recharged I'll be craving social interaction.

    Not saying please and thank you. Just because you are a couple does not mean that the little niceties should go to the side.

    When ppl are super nosy, if I tell you I can’t tell you anything about it then respect that so that I don’t have to lie to you so you’ll leave me alone
