that's exactly what i thought!

Well, I'm married, I live with my husband and have for the last 4 years...we never did that relationship book thing, but if someone told me to write down the things I dislike about him I wouldn't know what to write either. Sure there are things, and yes we do argue and no our relationship isn't perfect. But the things I "dislike" about him are by far not worth shoving them in his face and upsetting him by doing so or making him think he needs to change his ways...because they're small things and when he left for Iraq I noticed that I'm not just missing the happy times with him but also the little tiny annoying things that I "dislike" So it's completely possible that she didn't lie, or isn't delusional as said in other comments...

I agree, there are a few nitpicky things that my boyfriend does that I don't like (the hair in the bathroom, etc) but none of it is a relationship breaker and doesnt affect how we communicate and get along. I certainly wouldn't put those nitpicky things on a list of things that bothers me. That's for more important stuff. Sounds like OP was being callous.

well, we don't know what kind of things the OP put on his list. it could very well have been nitpicky stuff like that, and she's extremely sensitive. anyone who is married and says they can't think of anything that annoys them about their partner is a bold-faced liar. there's just no way. when you know a person on that level and spend so much time with them, there are going to be things that get on your nerves. it's just a fact of life.

yeah, well the exercise didn't say "list the major things you seriously hate that are destroying your relationship" or "list the things you dislike but be careful not to hurt their feelings." the exercise said "list the things you dislike." he followed the directions, she didn't.

Exactly. Everyone agreeing with that this is some poor guy is single, stupid ****. Just bcuz you don't find that you domt hate things about you spouse, doesn't mean that you're crazy. It means you're inlove and don't want to make him feel like a piece of shit. Or possibly you aren't a whiny and complaining bitch.

Stop being a bitch about things. maybe he was the whiny jerk who wanted to do that. There are women who aren't single and aren't so nitpicky like you and almost everyone else commenting.

I actually know a lot of couples who don't have problems yet they still read relationship books together to strengthen their relationship and to prevent problems...like I know a lot of women who read a book, I forgot what it's called, that's supposed to help you make sure your hubby doesn't cheat on you...lol... :p

XD #15 wins.

I can tell youre a single heartless dick

Yes, store up all that hurt and anger and NEVER let it out. One should NEVER express to one's life partner any sense of disappointment or vulnerability. After all - our goal in relationships is to be mindless, emotionless automatons. But thank god we will have "grown a pair." Oh, and for the record - the wife was lying.

Well that's because our thoughts are never twisted like women's! We just can't think in a twisted ways.

Stereotypical males could deal with a little lightening up on the brutal half of the equation. Stereotypical females could deal with being less sensitive and being honest themselves.

Well said, SomeonePosting.

Not all women are so sensitive and are scared of the truth. Yea for sure there's a lot of girls like his wife but i can guarantee you that theres actually more women that you think that can be actually very honest about things.

If you're referring to SomeonePosting's statement(s), then that would be why he/she put "stereotypical."

Honesty is disrespectful now? I am very quickly losing faith in humanity.

maybe, but as number 19's username states, at least we're high. thank goodness for that.

argeed! #42

Wow finally someone on here who isnt a heartless ****
