Do you ever find your significant other annoying at times?

[lovemadness]

Just curious. At times I find my girlfriend annoying. I love her to death I really do but there's little things she does that I can find annoying. She has also said there's times where I annoy her. I act immature at times and act goofy

Sometimes I worry that if we find each other annoying at times we aren't a good match

but everyone finds their s.o. annoying ta times right?

I'm always going on about what a great relationship hubby and I have, but I'd be lying if I said we didn't annoy each other now and again.

I have two thoughts on being annoying and suitability for each other
1. Don't sweat the small stuff. If the annoying thing really isn't a problem in the grand scheme of things, it's wise for both partners to let it go. Nit-picking and fighting about stupid stuff will only wear your relationship down
2. Differentiate between regular annoying stuff and things which really are important issues. Her forgetting to return her cup to the kitchen is annoying. But if she does things which are really problematic to you, then you have to question if you're a good match.

If you want more help, tell us some of the things which bother you.

This sounds like more than just a minor issue... the fact that something so insignificant and innocent annoys you so much. It sounds like she's getting on your nerves just for being herself. What other things annoy you about her?

I hate to use gender stereotypes, but I reckon lot of this can be attributed to gender. A lot of girls like a natter on the phone and a lot of guys tend to get to the point. (of course, there are exceptions to this rule)

Anyway, this definitely comes under the category of say nothing and let it go.

I've never noticed such a trend, to be honest.

You were too busy talking to notice.

Yep.

Wifey's the best in the world... my best friend, love her to pieces... and she annoys the crap outta me sometimes.

I've got a minor hearing problem - if there's white noise going on, I can hear that people are talking to me, but I can't make out what they're saying if they don't raise their voices. She knows this, and persists in talking at me in a normal tone when the dishwasher's running or water is running in the kitchen. Usually the third or fourth time instead of saying "What?" yet again, I scowl and ignore her. Which I'm sure she finds annoying.

Actually it doesn't to me. I recognize that it's baggage because of damage done me by my mother at an early age, but when that happens to me, I always feel as if the person talking to me thinks I'm too stupid to get it without excessive detail. Wifey actually does this to me, but I ignore it as I know it's my issue and not hers.

Well, just try not to annoy each other too much. Nicole Brown used to piss off OJ Simpson and look what happened.

But for real - hell yeah even good friends are gonna razz each other's nerves at times. As long as you get along more than anything. Or even if you do not, some people's whole stupid relationship is based on fighting. I used to live across from some people and sometimes they would fist fight in the hallway and you could hear her yelling, "HELP! Rick is beating me up again!" Oh it was hilarious.
