When couples are in the honeymoon stage, their partner can do no wrong. But as you've learned from previous psycho roommate stories, you only really know a person once you move in with them. Once you move in with your partner, things you once thought were endearing are now irritating. An AskWomen thread documents all the issues women had while living with their S/O's, and there's a whole lot of 'em to sift through. Scroll down for all the couple drama.

    Font - sopjoh · 11h ex-partner (as I don't live together with my current partner): he liked to sleep in. I also like to do that sometimes so when we spend a weekend together it's nice to sleep in together, but when it happens everyday it's possible, it's not that much fun anymore. Especially since the sleeping in could last till4 in the afternoon.

    Font - INTJinx · 42m This was one of the reasons I left my most recent ex. He wasn't working and had no real reason to need to stay up so late, but I was working, and he'd insist we stay up until 3 or 4am on the weekends and sleep in until 2pm. It was doing my head in switching up my sleep patterns so much and he refused to budge towards my schedule at all so I left him for being inconsiderate.

    Font - sadbabyblu · 7h How chill/laid back/relaxed he is all the time. I find out it's because he just won't do anything that'll stress him out. Sounds fantastic right? No, it means I have to deal with and handle things that are stressful for us. Either that or I have to push him to handle the thing, which is stressful for both of us anyway. His kitchen always looked clean and spotless. It's because he'll never ever cook or even try to learn how.

    Font - Also, video games. I thought it was a cool hobby and awesome way to stimulate his brain. Turns out it's basically an addiction and that he games away almost 100% of his time if he can. It's gotten better(ish) recently. But if I didn't live with him he'd game from wake up to bedtime besides eating something, showering, and doing laundry when needed. I mean, at least once in a while, I'd like for him to have something new going on.

    Font - HellsCandy · 11h My boyfriend is mushy mushy and he always wants to cuddle and hug especially at night. Im an introvert which means I like my space and alone time. Especially when im sleeping but it's not possibly when he somehow manages to weasel his way over and drown me in his cologne

    Font - beejeany · 6h This is about my ex. He was always super chipper in the mornings which is nice when you see each other 1-2 times per week. But when we lived together, he'd always wake up before me for work and literally sing every morning waking me up. I never really get mad but it would make me irrationally angry and no matter how many times I'd ask him to let me sleep or stop singing he would still do it.

    Font - dmm1664 · 8h I used to love our conversations about anything and everything - we used to see each other Saturday nights and Sundays. 7 days a week of nonstop is way way too much for me.

    Font - abqkat · 9h His brother. I love living in community, but. His brother has been living with us after a divorce and has been quite a wet blanket since. Like I get it, you're sad about a failed marriage, but like.... How long will this last?! You were married 2 years and it's been final for 1.5 years. Love the guy like my own brother, but fick, it's been a lot this time

    Font - inkwater · 4h His dedication to his sports workout. Somehow, it also means he's destroyed afterward on the weekends and can do nothing for hours except shower and sleep. Eight hours on a Saturday or Sunday, out the window. Hour of commute to the sports complex (round trip), three hours of playing, an hour for lunch, half an hour to shower at home, two and a half hour nap. Like it's his F-ing job.

    Font - gayvodkah · 4h How much he liked to cook! It was great when we were dating, it was impressive. Now I feel like I can't cook anything without him criticizing it because he's a better cook O

    Font - rottiegal86 · 3h · edited 3h How cool that he wad mostly on the healthier end in terms of food but later on, he would be so picky in what we eat when I once in awhile would like to have cheat meal. Our food choices are so boring and limited now which is good in the long run I guess but I miss being a foodie and not being judged by my choices of food.
