According to Mary Jo Rapini, M.Ed, LPC, the bad habits our partners have aren’t the problem. We are. “Everyone has blind spots and what annoys you in others is often a reflection of yourself,” she writes. She claims that we project our controlling needs onto our partners, be it about a pristine kitchen or a clothes-free bedroom floor.
“If you’re honest with yourself, you should be able to see flaws or weaknesses within yourself,” she observes. “No one expects you to be perfect; thinking you are superior or better than others is not mentally healthy. Living a life where you see flaws in everyone but yourself will lead to a very lonely and limited life.”
A 2003 study suggests that men and women find different things annoying in their partners. What annoys men are things that threaten their autonomy, for example, jealousy, their partner’s moodiness, etc. For women, in turn, it’s about the behaviors that threaten the relationship: condescension, aggression, being emotionally distant, and so on.
