HOW TO SURVIVE 10 COMMON PET PEEVES
It's important to remember while being in a relationship that there are two personalities that should be considered. Therefore there are things you'd love about the person and there are things you'd love to kill them for. Take a look at the list below and identify some "pet peeves" that you or your loved one may be guilty of.
1. Chewing your food loudly with your mouth open at a restaurant or at formal gatherings.
2. Leaving the toilet seat up after use and expecting that your girlfriend/wife would notice this at 2am....in the dark.
3. "Forgetting" that there's a laundry basket made especially for dirty clothes and the bedroom floor isn't designed for that.
4. Ordering food for yourself without asking your partner if they were hungry as well and then proceeding to eat it in front of them ( especially applicable for girls)
5. Going through their messages on their phone or having an antenna up for incoming calls or texts.
6. Talking too much during a movie or their favourite show.
7. Broadcasting your disagreements to your friends or worse....their friends.
8. Souring the lime with your bad attitude when you don't see eye to eye especially if there are other friends or family around.
9. Taking over the bathroom or bedroom with make up or "feminine" products.
10. Nagging or repeatedly demanding requests from your loved one either in person, via messages or constant.....annoying....calls.
HOW TO DISCUSS THESE TENDENCIES WITH YOUR PARTNER?
1. Be honest about the situation but try not to criticize their actions.
2. Avoid words like " always" and "never" since it tends to discourage your partner more than show them their efforts are appreciated.
3. Make suggestions about how the situation can be recitifed as opposed to simply stating the problem without having a solution.
4. Thank them for listening to your concerns and for their willingness to improve the situation if in fact they do agree to work at it.
5. Remember that old habits die hard and have patience in helping your partner change their "dutty ways."
