Man, relationships start off so great. The initial, sweeping romance often consumes a couple when they first get together. In this stage, you feel as if you've found a perfect match, someone who is both similar and new. Someone compatible. You want to spend as much time with them as possible, and enjoy each other's boundaries melting away. But that exposes our less glamorous attributes too.
In an attempt to show the unexpected turns their love life has taken, women are confessing to the internet how husbands and boyfriends are testing their limits. So we at Bored Panda decided to put these complaints together and see if we can all somehow grow from it.
From little everyday crimes (such as eating cheese like an animal) to bigger offenses (like hitting on your partner's married niece), here are a million ways to frustrate and disappoint your partner.
By the way, I feel like we also need to include a disclaimer. This publication doesn't mean that all men are garbage and every woman is a saint. I'd say it's more of a study to see what common relationship problems women go through.

My Husband Is Technologically Challenged
I Split Up With My Boyfriend Yesterday. I Fell Asleep While He Was Packing And He Stole My Toilet
According to some estimates, almost 50 percent of all marriages in the United States will end in divorce or separation. But what exactly makes sustaining a romantic relationship so hard?
Well, in 2020, a team of scientists led by Menelaos Apostolou of the University of Nicosia in Greece found that fading enthusiasm, long work hours, and lack of personal time and space are the three most common problem areas that prevent people from staying together. However, if it offers you some reassurance, they also think that only 30% of adults find it easy to maintain long-term romantic relationships.

Asked My Husband To Do A Maternity Photoshoot. Don’t The Dogs Look Great?
When it comes to the top challenge (fading enthusiasm, it can be explained by the fact that many people find long-term relationships to be tiring and they get bored quickly. They also sometimes realize that the passion and romantic love fades sooner than they might've expected. Fading enthusiasm is especially problematic among people who dislike routines.
Long work hours is one of those factors that might seem a little bit surprising at first but later sound really logical. In fact, some have already speculated that divorce rates can be predicted by the length of a spouse's commute. This research adds credibility to this notion — partners who spend many hours working or prioritize their career over their relationship are, not surprisingly, less involved and less successful in the latter.

I Was Complaining To My Boyfriend That We Never Cuddle Anymore And This Was His Solution
Feeling suffocated or lacking sufficient me time is the third most common reason why people have difficulty maintaining romantic relationships. Those who feel constrained by their commitment, or (whether or not it's justified) feel that their partner is constantly nagging them, will have issues working on and sustaining it.
The publication said that other common problems were character issues, clinginess, and bad sex.

But coming back to what we briefly mentioned in the intro of this publication, it's important that no gender is the bad one. Just the individuals. Dr. Kristie Overstreet, a clinical sexologist and psychotherapist, highlighted that men face their own unique set of relationship issues—and a lot of them have to do with the way guys are raised. (Keep in mind that these differences are not relegated to just men in heterosexual relationships; they apply to all men in every kind of relationship.)
Fear of rejection, hiding depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues, pressure to be the financial provider, and performance anxiety around sex are just some of the things that men frequently worry about in relationships.
"Men are taught from a young age to not talk about their problems or struggles. Men aren't allowed to show or express emotions," Overstreet told Men's Health. This can actually be the root cause of many romantic conflicts. After all, managing emotions and communication is vital for every couple.

That's actually how mine looks too because we agreed not to give each other gifts. We gave each other the eternal gift of not having to stress out about searching for the perfect gift :).
My husband never buys me gifts for special days. When we see something we think the other will like we buy and just give it. No waiting for a special occasion or obligated gifts.
Yup, we do this too. And usually we just buy ourselves what we want, so there are no mistakes :)

Can we de-normalize giving mothers/Father’s Day gifts to individuals who aren’t our mothers/fathers? I know she’s the mother of your kids but she’s not YOUR mother.
Sure but when the kids are younger ot is nice If you or your partner take some action- remind the kids to do the drawings, pick up a gifts etc. It’s a nice gesture.

Kick him to the curb. You deserve someone who recognizes all you do and makes the gesture to show it. Even if he just came home with some daisies for you that he stopped and picked by the roadside, it would mean he appreciates you.
Oh! Same my husband got me! (Tbf: I buy my own gifts and kind of prefer it that way)
My husband dosn't give gifts on these days either... but I get so many gifts other days. New shoes, big boxes of lego, payed my fine to the police without saying a word etc. It is not the dates your special person get your gift... it is that they do ❤
Good grief! And I thought my ex was bad (and he was!!!) buying me clothes that were his mother's style. ugh. From now on, you should buy your own presents, wrap them, and open them in front of him. This is sad.
We married that same guy? 18 years and a total of 2 gifts! That's it.
I asked a co worker once what he got his wife for Mother's Day. He said he didn't get her anything because she's not his mother. Their kids can get her something. I was like wth?!? She birthed your children! My dad has always gotten my mom something for Mother's Day and my now ex always got me something.
That's not okay. Be sure you are giving him a good role model, he may be behaving as he was brought up. Also, tell your children how to behave in society and between members o the family within earshot of your husband, Also, I have learnedfrom my years the letting a problem or ill feelings "ferment" is only building on the problem. Have a discussion in normal tones when the kids are asleep and you will each know how the other processes.
My favorite gifts are not material objects either, but experiences.
That is sad, he is a sad man and uncaring for his wife., my husband can be the same, but will then pullout of his self oriented slump.
How generous is he..what his his name he needs too be prompted why readers here." hey you..."
If you have separate charge accounts, then feel free to buy yourself something very, very nice for each occasion.
Perhaps not a great reason to file for divorce, but certainly a good enough one to get separate bedrooms.
I am not going to sympathise because women have chosen to be with morons like him and still moan. Sad part of it all women stick at it as they depend on the security and financial instead of being independent.
Get rid of that loser. You’re not important to him, the lack of gifts on special days is proof of that.
We have a "no gift" policy - it all goes on the kids even though they are old enough to have kids of their own.
Did she give him presents or is she just complaining that he did the same thing she did?
This could be cultural or social upbringing. If there’s communication in the relationship, this is either acceptable or isn’t. Seems the OP resents her bf but there’s either an inability to communicate that or their bf is unresponsive. It may be a healthy way of not forcing admiration through materialism or it’s a doomed relationship.
There just might be an underlying issue. My girlfriend was never really happy with gifts. Later surfaced that in her youth gifts could be taken away at the whim of her mother.
What did you get him? My wife and I don't do gifts for each other, presents are for the kids
I would not mind that at all. I buy what I need. I do like little homemade gifts though, and my kids are great at these, like cookies, or art, or a story.
I do not understand the entitlement that gifts are expected. I tell my husband if you want a gift, tell me what you want. Ladies, you want your man to buy you a gift, tell him point blank I want this. Don't hint or beat around the bush.
I do that. I give my boyfriend web links and also text messages with hints of what I would like. He still doesn't give me anything.

We do raise men different than women. Women makeup more than 50% of the workforce but nearly 99.5% of household chores. Men need to pull more weight when it comes to going to the market, preparing meals, cleaning, etc...
It's the other step of the feminist movement - enable more women to be as professionally independent as men; enable men to be as domestically independent as women. There's a lot of behavior here that needs to be taught to a 30 year old in the same way that it was taught to most of us as 10 year olds. The habit of opening packages like a raccoon is not unique to men, though...

My ex-wife used to squeeze all the air out of soda bottles before putting them away claiming it was to keep them fresh but then couldn't understand why the soda always went flat. She was also the type to open a package of something, bread, chips, cookies, cereal, etc, and not reclose it. Just leave it open for hours.
There are an awful lot of really stupid men about. I couldn't cope with them.
It's crap like this that keeps me single. WFT is wrong with people? Who raised them to be such dumb asses?
I'm single and grateful. These have completely killed any desire I might have aborning for dating. Yeah, y'all can keep that.
My friends have been jealous ever since I married my husband. I found a 46-year-old bachelor who cooks, cleans, does the laundry (he reads the labels if he doesn't know how something should be washed, or he asks me!), knows how to load the dishwasher and put dishes and food away properly, etc. The only thing he doesn't do is wash counters or the sink, but honestly, that's not exactly a major sin -- certainly nothing like the batch of Neanderthals in this list!
and this is why i'm single, live alone and dont like to have people in my house. all of these would drive me insane
Someone gifted me an expensive hard bound coffee table book. But, even before I opened the packaging it got lost somewhere in the house. Months passed.

Many of these are horrible but there are several that are forcing someone's OCD on others. If it affects others or causes work, we all need to be civil and not do that. If it only affects the one person using it, let them be happy. No one has ever died from cutting their own sandwich differently. One person's mementos is someone else's messy while another person's minimalism is psychopathic with no interests to others. No one has died from the way they cut their own sandwich. People have been stabbed though, for cutting a pie the wrong way because it ruins it for others. If someone doing the laundry wants them in the hamper, even if they don't do it every time, use it. If the only person doing the laundry wants a pile in the corner, leave them alone. To them a pile is a pile whether its in a bucket or outside it and it doesn't affect you.
My current SO hates to make dinner. He made a big pot of oily, brown, water with short noodles. It looked and smelled horrible. I made baked chicken, mashed potatoes, sweet peas -serving for One. He made a big pot of grool so he must like it and he can eat it all. I let him know I'll be making steak and baked potatoes (the next night) -for myself. He quickly upped his cooking game.

My current SO hates to make dinner. He made a big pot of oily, brown, water with short noodles. It looked and smelled horrible. I made baked chicken, mashed potatoes, sweet peas -serving for One. He made a big pot of grool so he must like it and he can eat it all. I let him know I'll be making steak and baked potatoes (the next night) -for myself. He quickly upped his cooking game.

Or moms AND dads haven't trained their sons. Both are responsible. Men don't all remain clueless even without guidance.
