Have you picked up any BAD habits from your SO?

[BCRanger10]

We often hear about ways that our SO has helped us grow, mature, and become better people...but have you picked up any BAD habits from them?

This is assuming that your relationship is generally healthy and constructive. Have you become more foul-mouthed? Less neat and tidy? More disorganized? Do you spend more time than usual watching TV or on your phone? Do you not get as much rest?

Are there any bad habits you've picked up in your relationship? Or are there good habits you don't practice as well or consistently?

[ChristianMaeTorres]

We aren't together currently but YES.

I picked up a lot of habits from an ex.

a lot of the way I talk now is directly related to the way I was talked to , especially when I get mad.

I used to be soft and sweet inside and outside too but not anymore. I say the word "bxxxx" a lot more than I used to. I always say and act like I hate cuddling or I'm too good for it but that was how he was. I ruled out cuddling and sweet stuff after I realized I was never going to get it.

I stopped telling people when I was leaving the house and just left and said nothing at all. I lost all my manners for awhile their.

Actually I picked up his and he took some of mine. My habit of how I was all about my mother and family rubbed off on him.

Lucky him lol

All the music he would listen to with me, are my favorites now. Especially Spanish when I don't even speak Spanish fluently, but I can show you a whole lot of Spanish songs that I love and remind me of him.

His over confident attitude/borderline arrogant lol which I really like in a man. I got some of that too. So YES. It happens a lot.

[DishLady]

Hmm. You know? That's a great question. I'd have to think on it...

Generally, I'd say no, though I've picked up a song or two from the two ex-SOs in my life.

[Shiprex]

LOL

Yeah I have and it's one I am right now doing. Normally I will cook dinner from scratch with fresh ingredients BUT tonight I just wasn't into it and needed to get stuff from the grocery store so I went and while there found an offer on "Dirty" noodles as my wife calls them SO tonight I chose to test these bad boys out and am in the process of running up a double dirty noodles combo of veg and tom yum flavour noodles. It's because she has a tendency to have these when there's no interest in doing the graft of fresh food cooking.

[Communicationisking]

Not sure if it is a bad habit but often we don't leave the bedroom even though we have plans to do something else because we are both as bad as each other when it comes to giving the bed a structural integrity check via means of...

[Anonymous]

he makes me paranoid and more cautious about "germs" because this is what he does. i feel like if a straw would touch my hand, he would freak out so i have to freak out if that ever happens when he's not around. awful. i don't have ocd, but he is really warping my thoughts after being like this for almost a decade.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

As of now no, not really. But I admit that my children's mother did introduce me to some unhealthy habits I won't go into here (nose candy) but we cleaned up our act before getting married.

[andreasderjuengere]

I did: I have given up hope on having a relatively tidy home with things IN! the cabinets instead of on top of them.

Life with natives...

[Anonymous]

Drugs. He stopped doing them when we broke up but I still do them occasionally.

[NotLongKindaGirthy]

What kind of drugs?

[Opinion Owner]

Just Marijuana

[NotLongKindaGirthy]

That's not bad. Although maybe it's awkward finding people to get high with in your thirties.

[Opinion Owner]

I found one guy to get high with but he tripped out and now won't take them.

[NotLongKindaGirthy]

how often do you do it? is it like really strong stuff? is that why it affected the guy?

was he your boyfriend? did you like pick up a bad habit from your ex and pass it along to your new guy?

[Opinion Owner]

Not that often. Like every other week or so. It's not that strong. It's just edibles. He just took way too many. I told him to only take 2 or 3, he took 4. He was my boyfriend. He doesn't do them really. It was just twice.

[NotLongKindaGirthy]

I've never smoked weed or had edibles, so I don't know how many four is, if it's a lot or just a little too much.

Is it like a sex thing? You take edibles to get in the mood?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes I do. It makes me extremely horny and him too.

[Opinion Owner]

It also depends on the mg in the package. This one was a high amount of mg per gummie.

[NotLongKindaGirthy]

And you're like in your early thirties? So you're like stable and settled, but weed is like the one bad thing you still do?

[Opinion Owner]

Yep pretty much.

[NotLongKindaGirthy]

Had you ever had pot before your boyfriend got you into it?

[Opinion Owner]

Yep in college I smoked it but it didn't really have much effect on me.

[NotLongKindaGirthy]

can I ask what you do? Like for a living?

[Opinion Owner]

Customer Service.

[NotLongKindaGirthy]

Like at a store? Or a call center?

[Opinion Owner]

Insurance company

[NotLongKindaGirthy]

Have you ever been high while you were working?

[Opinion Owner]

Nope. I would never do that. I couldn't work like that.

[NotLongKindaGirthy]

Can I ask what you look like? Just curious.

[NotLongKindaGirthy]

Sorry if that was a bad question.

[Anonymous]

I don't have an SO at the moment. However, my last one had so many bad habits and was so mentally ill that I'm glad I didn't pick up any of it from her.

[Anonymous]

No, I don't have an SO, and I'm immune to habits of any kind.

[Priya99999]

Once I got his slang..

Now, i mostly stay with my friends

[NathanDavis]

nope... I had bad habits of my own

[Sirenboobzilla]

I've started cursing in Spanish thanks to him

[exitseven]

No, she literally does not have any bad habits.

[Anonymous]

Peeing in the shower.

[katiesmuff]

None that I know of!

[beenherebefore]

Not really.
