    She’s a keeper. You’re lucky. She’s letting you know what irritates her, and how to avoid aggravating her again and also providing a way to make it up to her. This is the way to a harmonious life.

    I dunno she pretty clearly said she’s annoyed which sounds like a description of how angry she is

    People are capable of being annoyed by something but still make peace with their feelings and get on with their day.

    Can some people not do this?

    Not to mention that their partner is annoyed, but that doesn’t mean they suddenly don’t love them any more.

    People weirdly paint each other as black and white, completely this or completely that, and don’t consider maturity and complexity. It’s odd.

      Duvets usiually have duvet covers. The chocolate probably either went through the cover or it’s a button up duvet cover and got in.

    Husband here.

    Sometimes relationships end up with one “tidy one” and one “messy one”.

    I busted my ass over the years to turn from a gremlin into a “tidy one”.

    I got married to my “messy one”. She’s in charge of keeping the house clean.

    I have to remind her not to eat in bed 🥲

    So let me get this straight. People complain when their gf gets mad over little things like chocolate in bed. They also complain when she doesnt. Wtf?

    Wish my wife would tell me if something bothered her this calmly instead of bottling it up until she bursts and gets angry. Im no better just to be clear.

      Ask her regularly if something is bothering her, or if there’s something you can do to make her day better.
      Also, reflect on if there’s something you do that makes it hard for her to tell you her issues with you (body language, sighing, removing yourself, getting defensive…)
      Maybe she just finds it hard to bother others with her problems, asking directly makes it easier.
      And maybe you’re unconsciously communicating to her that she should leave you alone with her problems.
      Anyway, the goal is to show her you’re by her side, tackling problems as a team. Not opposite her.

          I mean this is sound advice that can go wrong if you hace the emotional intelligence of a doorknob (whicgmh is a lot of people, mostly men). Don’t just ask “is something botheribg you” so dryly and regularly you becomw whafs bothering her, but open lines of communication where you make it clear that you’re trying to improve your communication and then genuinely check in on her. Dont just ask if something is bothwring her, but find out how shes been and what may be adding stress into her life. Don’t immediately seek to fix it, but try to understand if she just needs to vent stress or if there are issues you can tsckle together. If an issue is identified, remember it is you and her vs the issue, not you vs her.

      it’s assumed that a woman is always mad at their male partner unless they are actively doing something to make her happy.

      it’s a relationship trope.

      and by mad not really angry, so much as dissatisfied.

      by the time someone tells you directly they are annoyed by something you have done, it’s gone past the “ i don’t like it but i’m going to just deal with it” stage.
