In the intricacy of love, there's always an evermoving, ever-dynamic dance between the good and the bad, give and take. Sometimes this dance goes haywire, and results in the couples split, and sometimes the 'bad things' are just hilarious, peeving, petulant annoyances that we must see past and eventually come to find endearing. 

These moments test our nerves, our patience, and our tempers, but in the end we know our love is still our love. Whether it's leaving the socks scattered, singing too loudly in the shower, or always being late to events, it's the same coin of idiosyncrasies that make us love our partner the way we do. It's what makes them special. 

That being said, it doesn't always ease the pain and cringe of having to hear once again the story of the chasing the chicken around as a kid, and you just smile and nod, 'No honey, I haven't heard this one before. What a hilarious story.' Hey, it could be worse. Your partner could have a voice that sounds like a Muppet.

    Posted by u/mJelly87 21 hours ago What is something your significant other does that is only slightly annoying, but you ignore because you love them?

    Do they not quite make your coffee right? Do they leave lights on? Do they forget to fill the tank up after using the car? My girlfriend will use the wrong your/you're or there/their/they're, and I don't correct her. I know what she means, so there is no point. Someone else though, I have to point it out.

    SpadeXHunter 20 hr. ago. She can't tell a story from just A to B to save her life. She will start telling me something and then say some little side detail and I'll say "yeah I know what you mean" but instead of continuing on, she will

    continue to explain the side detail for 30 more seconds while I'm just waiting for her to continue on because I already acknowledged I knew what she was talking about.

    d0nM4q · 16 hr. ago Wellll, tbf that tactic calls out the meeting organizers' lack of understanding what their Agenda really is or should have been.

    Ie, they didn't do the hard work before assembling the attendees & spending (wasting) their time.

    The ppl I know whom can't tell an A=>B story literally can't (or won't) assemble their thoughts before they begin to speak

    BroadPoint 20 hr. ago Male My wife has got to learn how to handle the responsibility of having there be a cup on her nightstand. I'm not kidding when I say that it has a 75% chance of being spilled. This probability is increased
    via u/BroadPoint

    by the fact that she never takes the last sip of anything and so when she inevitably knocks the cup over, the inside will never be dry.
