Top 5 Relationship Pet Peeves

Let’s face it, even when we are blinded by love, we still get royally pissed off when our partners do those little things that makes us crazy. No matter how much you get along, and love everything they say and do, there will come a time when you want to scream at the top of your lungs, ‘I hate that sweater, and I do not know why you continue to wear it’. I am talking about pet peeves, and we all have them. In relationships they can get pretty bad, and especially if you do not have the guts to say anything. If not, hopefully your partner will read this article, about the top five relationship pet peeves.

When a couple combines their lives they take both the good and bad. SO try to minimize the amount you do these things to make your relationship a bit smoother.

1. No nagging. Yes ladies we are all guilty of this. We feel the need to tell him to stop putting his cold, wet glass directly on our antique armour. However, once is enough. After that you just sound like his mother. Men, you are not in the clear yet. you do it too, but you do not believe you do, but think about it, how many times have you told your girlfriend to do the dishes, or make you a sandwich? The truth is, it gets tiring, and after a long day at the office, it is the last thing anyone wants to come home to. I find reversed psychology works great for this. I just say, ‘oh I wish I had remembered to do the dishes today’. Suddenly, tomorrow when you get home they will be done. But make sure you say thank-you, or next time they will be waiting for you.

2. Do not ever lye. I do not know anyone who enjoys being lied to, and especially the love of your life. It will only lead them to believe if you are lying about something so petty and small, what else are you lying about. Of course, if you are planning a surprise party, that is a different thing, but who cares if you ditched work early to get those shoes that were on sale. When he finds out the truth, you will be sorry. Not only is is cruel, but it manifests major trust issues for years to come.

3. No more drama in my life. Mary J. said it best. No one likes a drama queen, or king. Everyone can get whiny at times, but making a huge deal about everything in our life is stressful, and unnecessary. Ladies, you love to be the center of attention, but it can get old, and what happens when he stops caring. In relationships you need to make things about you bot, not just you. By both, I mean you and y our partner, not your cat Fluffy.

4. Undecided about everything. ‘What do you want for dinner?… ‘I dunno’… ‘I dunno’…’I dunno’. If this is your response to everything then you have issues. Just say it, ‘I want a Big Mac’. What are you afraid of. It shows you have a strong personality. You know what you want, and you know how to get it. This is a good trait to have as a woman, so bask in it. As a couple, you need to consult each other on things. If you disagree let them have it their way this time, and your way next time.

5. Never break a promise. You can to your dog, or gold fish, but not your partner. Just like lying, it will create trust issues down the road. If you are constantly saying you will do something and it never happens then your partner will become convinced that you are not true to your word on anything. It is annoying when someone promises they will pick up the dry-cleaning and then does not do it. Especially, if you have planned on wearing something that was in the load.
