Today, my wife and I decided to try a relationship book. The first activity was to write down some things your partner does that bothers you. I made a very long list, then my wife and I swapped papers. She'd written, "nothing, I love everything about you." She read my list and began tearing up. FML

Today, I went to therapy. Previously, I had been given the task to write a list of things I hate about myself so my doctor could see what we needed to work on. I gave her the list, and she simply said, "Wow, I've never had someone give me such a long list." I had 55 items on the list. FML

Today, after I'd offered to make suggestions to my partner after she finished writing an essay for her college class, and she'd read my suggestions, we argued about every single point I wrote down. Despite telling her she didn't have to take any suggestions we argued for 2 days about it. The professor had the same notes as mine. FML

Today, I was talking with my friend-turned boyfriend and cutely told him that I could no longer remember all the things that he used to do that bothered me. He told me he could remember every one of mine and listed them all off for me. FML

Today, I wrote my boyfriend a love letter during class and told him to read it when he got home. He texted me later asking me why I gave him my school assignment. I must have handed the love letter in to my teacher. FML

Today, my husband and I went to our first counseling sessions, where the main focus was communication. When the therapist called us in together to discuss techniques we could use at home, my husband looked around, rolled his eyes, and responded with, "Uh huh" to every question. FML

Today, depressed about a recent break-up with my long-term boyfriend, I bought a book about moving on after a relationship ends. The cashier placed some standard promotional fliers in my bag during check-out. Once home, I pulled out the fliers. They were for a married couples retreat. FML

Today, my girlfriend found a letter I'd written to myself for moral support while we were broken up, in which I explained why we would never work out. Apparently I made a convincing argument. FML

Today, I found some .pdf files on my wife's computer. They were forms that had been filled out except for the date and the "reason" section. They were divorce papers. When confronted about it she said, "Well, if you piss me off really bad, I want to write down why before I calm down." FML

That's her fault. She was supposed to make a list. And she's a woman- every woman hates numerous things about her spouse.

Damn, man. I don't derive pleasure when my girlfriend admits something she doesn't like about me(a habit, an attitude, what have you), but ultimately, I appreciate it and respect her more for it. If you haven't gathered by now from the other comments, just know that you aren't to blame, here. She created a prefect little situation in her head, and because upset when her fantasy didn't become reality. YOU were trying to legitimately help things. Good luck with your relationship in the future.

I think this is kinda a good situation for the wife to know what bothers her husband that she does so that once she reads it, she can improve herself as much as she can and the relationship would then get stronger and will be less likely for a divorce to occur in the future of their relationship.

Sorry you had to deal with the fun of that... she definitely should have written something down if she was being honest - no one's perfect, and there's got to be at least 1 thing you do that bothers her. Grats on being honest, but next time maybe just write down 1-3 things that shouldn't kill her to change, not a long list. Never good to go with a long, blunt list. Just a couple things at a time.
