Just because you love your partner doesn’t mean you always see eye-to-eye on everything. You may have a lot of things in common, but there will always be petty and not-so-petty things you just can’t agree on and a popular Reddit thread has people naming theirs. It asks married people what the “one thing” they have completely different opinions than their spouse about. These are wide ranging things couples constantly disagree about.
- “The idea that true crime documentaries are a great sleeping aid. For her maybe, but I'm the one lying awake getting freaked out by all the stories of people killing their partners for the life insurance payout.”
- “Video games. She hates them and thinks they do nothing but rot the brain, I grew up playing them and still do. On the flip side, she absolutely loves drama tv shows. I find them to be the most nauseating shows ever made.”
- “Painting. Anything to do with painting. It's always the start of World War 3.”
- “I just turn my head whenever my husband loads the dishwasher. Because I know it's NOT wrong, it's just not how I would load it.”
- “The bed. I think it’s a bed, and she thinks it’s a table to store all manner of things, buried and twisted under various blankets. Her: ‘I can’t find the remote!’ Me: ‘Have you checked the Sleeping Table?’”
- “If it is Thursday, and I am referring to the Friday at the end of next week … Whether it is ‘next Friday’ or ‘Friday after next.’”
- “My husband and I disagree on camping. I enjoy camping and I love how cheaply I can travel while camping. We took a 15 day vacation a couple of years ago where we stayed in state parks the whole time. Our TOTAL accommodations cost was $400. He hates it. He can’t do the constant dirt, trying to set up camp and cook in the rain, etc.”
- “Sports. I love watching and playing them. She doesn't.”
- “If you walk past the mailbox, you should get the mail. My partner does not know we own a mailbox. They do PAY the bills though.”
- “The purpose and importance of pillows. I’m fully aligned with her for the first 4 pillows. The rest not so much.”

Scott's Thoughts:
- If you and your spouse can settle the great dishwasher debate, you’re doing better than most!
- My partner and I must be different. We don't really have a lot of pet peeves.
- I do agree if you walk past the mailbox you should check it.
