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

Shit man that was a set up. Now you know to just lie to her from now on I guess

Why the **** would the OP deserve it by saying what he doesn't like about his partner. Obviously he doesn't know she is going to say nothing. He thought they were both going to say a bunch of stuff. It's the Wife's fault because she agreed to it. People think YDI for writing down something that your Wife agreed to. FYL def.

She loves you uncondionally. Perhaps you should try the same.

Unconditional love cannot be forced. Also, when has there been a long relationship where neither person was bothered by the other? My girlfriend of almost 3 years does stuff that bugs the hell out of me, and I do things that bug the hell out of her, but we look past those things and learn from each other.

right, so you love each other unconditionally. that's the point we're trying to get across. even if the OP wanted his wife to know what bugged him about her, he didn't have to be so outright blunt about it. Do you think the OP has no habits that bug his wife? No, it's not possible. But she probably just didn't want to hurt his feelings, so she made him feel loved first, and then might have had a talk with him.

but the whole point of the exercise was to honestly discuss things that could be changed to improve the relationship. by pandering to your partner's ego in an attempt to "not hurt his/her feelings," all you're doing is sabotaging the entire exercise. i'm assuming she agreed to try out the exercises in the book, and so she should have taken it as seriously as the OP, and made an honest attempt.

He does love her unconditionally--that's why he's with her even though she's not perfect. It's easier to love and get along with someone who's perfect and never gets on your nerves.

You can truly love someone but still have some things they could try to fix, that don't change their personality.

That was a setup and you really didn't deserve that. What the hell was she expecting to learn from this?

That was a total setup. She's lying. FYL completely for having an overly-sensitive wife.

It probably wasn't a setup, for all the idiots out there. You know, a lot of times, wives actually love their husbands. I know it's hard for some of you losers out there, but yes, it happens.

You idiot, love doesn't mean a person will never get on your nerves. My parents love me, but I've exasperated them to extremes plenty of times. Get your mind right.
