What is a behavior your partner does in your relationship that irritates you?

[justkoala]

I'm not in a relationship right now, but I will try to write something based on the previous one. Ignoring the things that are important to me, not caring, imposing (forcing me to do something when I don't want to) and always keeping me away from his life.

1. Not communicating

Tell me what you’re feeling, what’s important to you, etc. because if you don’t how am I to know? How should I make you feel better if I don’t even know you’re hurting? Failure to communicate causes too many problems. I’m open and she should be too.

2. Falsely accusing me / Trust issues

I am very loyal and open. Ask me anything, I’ll give you an honest answer. I had an ex whose ex before me cheated on her and she pushed a lot of stuff onto me. She accused me of stuff I’d never even thought of doing. I said adios pretty fast.

He always has to wash his hands AFTER eating, even at normal establishments where he's using regular silverware.

Normally this isn't an issue, but it can be extremely frustrating when you're in a public place and the wait for the bathroom is incredibly long (15 minutes) and the next place you're going has a bathroom and any normal person could just hold it or wash there for the sake of punctuality or the benefit of the group.

He is a slow eater and has this annoying habit of washing his hands AFTER everyone has finished eating AND the bill is paid, so everybody has to sit and wait for something that was poorly timed.

How likely is that to trigger an avalanche of hate for him and make you break up

[Xoxocutekitty]

Lol not at all. But everyone has something to complain about, no matter how small

[sage2021]

Asking me over and over and over again to to what he wanted me to do when I said no thank you the first time. He got an idea in his mind and tried to force it on me. Then I would get upset and in my big voice would ask him if he'd leave me alone, I said no.

I always disliked when we talked on the phone and I asked her if she had time to go out for lunch with me during the upcoming week. She would say yes and promise to get back to me, but she never did.

After being gone for weeks without any communication, she would call me as if nothing had happened.

She enjoyed my company but was always evasive when I suggested meeting for lunch. If she liked being with me so much, and told me so, why was she so evasive in meeting?

I have 2 answers, first: Men do an 80/20 evaluation in most relationships. Is the 80% good worth the 20% I have to deal with? Second: I have learned that the only person you have any chance of changing is yourself. Hope that helps with the 20%. I have also found that women have a different formula. Is there 80% there? I can fix the 20%. That is what eventually caused the breakup.

He doesn’t wash the dishes as thoroughly as I do, so quite often when they’ve finished drying and I go to put them away, half of the dishes still have food stuck to them or grease/oil smudges. So I have to re-wash them.

[DizzyDesii]

He occasionally makes this popping noise. I honestly question if its Tourette's or some shit. He has a horrible short term memory (as do i) but he only tends to forget our plans and not others. He also doesn't know how to stand up for himself. And he wakes me up about 3-4 times throughout the night just to kiss me and i honestly wanna curse him out but i try to smile through it and be… nice.

Finds himself following young girls under 18. He blames me. I say I didn't walk us over by these young girls you did. I told him it's creepy. They think you are creepy. Keep creeping creepy lol

[ProbablyClueless]

Playing coy and straight up not just saying things when I ask. I really despise needing to tease out explanations, or if something might causing a problem in my relationship. I really shouldn't have to go there with my girl. It should be super simple for me to just ask and get a clear statement in return.

It almost never is.

[Anonymous]

drags his feet constantly. breaths heavily when he just sat down. smacks his lips. repeats himself for no reason. messy eater. doesn't grow up. spends his money on worthless shit.

[Opinion Owner]

isn't serious. doesn't know how the world works. lives in fantasy land. watches too much porn.

[VanityFair888]

Do something to irritate me or make me angry, then apologise. After a while remembering it over and over as a funny story and making me mad again. Then acting like he doesn't understand why I'm mad.

[IslaTheWitch]

If he feels uncomfortable, he makes jokes. And it pisses me off as it mostly happens when I try to talk about something important.

Currently I'm single but if a girl:

Not giving respect, not caring, not giving quality time to me.

Flirting and talking with lots of guys.

Showing cold behavior, putting no efforts.

Wearing lots of revealing clothes outside of home.

When isn't serious most of the time.

When she hides something, tries to lie, avoids discussing on matters that makes her sad/worried.

[RavVid]

Last girlfriend did a lot of annoying things like not responding, taking a bad work day out on me. There is a reason she is an ex.

[Bricealan]

When she can, she flirts, like a school girl, and then behaves like a moron, if she thinks I am flirting. I dumped her.

[Fireguy17]

she is pretty OCD, so in some ways it is fun to mess with her, but it can get old.

[Slim57]

We always argue when it comes to conversation about society and how people act
