Husband puts reminders in his phone to pay wife compliments, wife is offended: ‘I’m honestly sincerely trying to learn’
We all have our systems of organization. Some of us have handwritten planners we pour our lives into, making little checkboxes and ticking them off with glee.

‘I know who Mark Twain is! He’s Shania’s husband’: 25+ Times people realized they were dating an idiot
We’re all allowed a little blonde moment every now and then. You can be so smart and gifted in your area of expertise, but completely ignorant in others.

‘[The groom] simply didn’t show up to his own wedding…twice’: 20+ Wildest Reasons Why Couples Have Called Off Their Weddings

‘This is called a task-based interview’: Industrious woman invites first date over to help her weed her garden, date is hesitant
In the words of Carrie Bradshaw, «First dates are like job interviews with cocktails.» They’re usually stilted, awkward, and usually just a volley back and forth of questions and answers. «What do you do for work?

Controlling boyfriend mandates that shower ‘dry out’ after girlfriend uses it: ‘I can’t be in it while it’s wet or I might slip’
Everyone is entitled to their own particular shower routine. Some of us control freaks have a highly specified process that we don’t like to deviate from. It’s a self-care ritual, and it doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else. There are so many showering choices we have to make, either consciously or unconsciously. Do …
