Summary

You love your partner, for better or worse, but there’s just that THING that gets under your skin.

Maybe it’s something they say all the time, maybe it’s a bad habit that they refuse to address, or something bigger like house duties.

Whatever it is, you just can’t seem to “get over it” and you have found yourself wondering, “Am I being unreasonable?”

We reached out to our Instagram audience for their biggest pet peeves and frustrations, and damn did you guys have some good ones! In this episode, we’ll help you uncover possible missing perspectives, give advice on how to move forward, and even validate some the worries because spoiler alert: so many of these are not as unreasonable as you would think!
