Messy
Living together with your partner is often very nice and cozy, but it also comes with irritations. Especially if your partner is messy. It’s as if you already have children. The bedroom is a mess, his clothes are everywhere and let’s not even talk about the living room, what a mess.
Social life
Another irritation can arise when your partner has a huge social life. At every football match, poker night or whenever there is something to celebrate, the entire group of friends is on the sidewalk. It’s great that your friend has an active social life, but why always with us?
No taste
Then you have the partners without taste. Great if your partner buys a gift for the house, but please let the design gods take a look. Unfortunately, the things my partner comes home with are not nice. The vase I received is already in the attic.
Postures
The partner who always has such a hard time is also very annoying. Why do you always have to do the dishes and not your partner? You worked all day and then cooked too, right? He can also do his part, instead of just complaining about how hard he supposedly had it today.
Annoyances about parking: ‘I can’t estimate whether my car will fit or not!’
Untalented
With all good intentions, he helps out in the household, but talent is completely lacking. You can still see the fat layer on the pans after it has already been washed. He says his clothes are folded in his closet, all I see is rubbish. Cooking is also a drama with the best man. Let me get behind the stove next time, because I really don’t want to eat burnt hamburgers again.
Just gaming
Then you have the partners who, once they get home from work, immediately get behind the computer to play games! To each their own, but this is very unpleasant.
Double agenda
Some partners seem to have a hidden agenda when it comes to chores. As soon as you start cleaning, they suddenly ‘coincidentally’ go to the gym, they ‘urgently’ have to call their mother or they ‘just’ received an important work email. That timing is handy, but you are not a household ninja who has to fix everything alone.
