I saw what it was about. If AM has really found someone who doesn't annoy her in the slightest, then she is one of the luckiest people on earth, IMO.

The rest of us have to work through the random annoying shite. Just a part of life.

Yeah, but Mrs. Tantal invites you to participate when she's spending time with her extra-special lady friends. I guessing that overrides a few yogurt cups.

My issue was more so with the inference that couples in happy, healthy relationships don't have things that annoy each other just because she's seen some relationships that are (questionably) like that. That's a pretty questionable opinion and she shouldn't get so upset when she's called out on it. I have yet to see a relationship where someone in that relationship doesn't have some minor annoyances. Case in point, I can remember how much my Grandmother hated my Grandfather smoking cigars. He'd occasionally sneak one. That was an annoyance to her and they were very happily married 50+ years when he died. She says to this day she'll never marry another.

Now whether they express those things to other people is a whole other matter. Depending on where you come from and your age I can see where there's an emphasis on not talking about those things with others. Maybe that's the difference? I'm not sure.

By my math, that's worth AT LEAST 42.3 yogurt cups/session.

Someone double check me, pls.

I have never run into a couple that didn't have minor tiffs over random shite I know kbar can annoy the frick out of me over some of the shite she pulls, and I'm big enough to admit that I can be a petulant, persistent burr under her saddle when I want to be, too

Guess it depends on the couple. Some can have heated arguments about their issues and survive just fine, and for others, ignoring/not talking about it is the best course of action.

Mrs. T and I are still figuring it out after 5 years together, and we're NOWHERE close, lemme tell you

As a matter of fact, yes. Yes it does.
My point being that nobody's perfect. Yogurt cups? Meh. Throw it away and wash the spoon. No biggie.

Her other only issue is that she'll threaten to cut the eyes out of any semi-attractive woman who stares at me for longer than 3 seconds. Lots of crazy on that side of the family.

Or for most it is just that. Because they are accepting that their SO isn't perfect and vice versa.

To each his own though. I don't know that I've ever known a couple that doesn't have those kind of complaints, happily together or not. Obviously if it becomes such an issue that the cons outweigh the pros then that's a different issue. I took the OP's complaint as just one of those run of the mill deals.

Then you must know some pretty "perfect" couples. I don't know of anyone that hasn't at some point complained to their guy/girlfriends about something their SO does that drives them crazy. Using your criteria and "experience" everyone who has bitched in this thread are in unhappy/unhealthy relationships.

Strange that you take people disagreeing with your "experienced" opinion so personally.

It is a message board after all. People will actually share opposing opinions.

Don't disagree with her experienced opinion now. Everyone she knows is perfect and never complains about anything so no way you can have a happy relationship.

You're the one who's ranting because you're being called on your "perfectly matched couple" bull shite.

But hey, you've "been there" right? Sounds like maybe your experienced advice might need to be taken with a grain of salt.

Nah, just someone getting their granny panties in a bundle again because multiple people disagree with her assessment that if you find anything at all annoying about your SO you can't have a happy relationship.

Hole E. shite.
Oh, the IRONY.


Well, I'm sorry I didn't come back here for this until now. I would've been back last night, but I was spending some "perfect" time with my "perfect" guy in my "perfect" relationship. I do hate that I missed this rant, though. (Mine don't even come close to this gem, although I don't generally "rant" over strangers' relationships on a message board via my computer. I guess I need to try to care a bit more.) Had I known you were so upset about Mr. Perfect's & my relationship, I would've checked back in while he and some of my "perfect" friends were here so that we could've enjoyed this together in real time. Quality entertainment. I just had no idea you'd be so distraught that you'd still be posting about "perfect" strangers over six hours later from the time of your first comment about it.

I would like to clear up a couple of inaccuracies, though, but just a couple in the interest of time, not the barrage of them purposely contained in your amazing analysis of people you don't even know and their relationships.

- I wasn't giving advice about anything. I don't give advice, particularly to strangers. I am not nearly that presumptuous. The only things I shared were my experiences concerning my own life, my friends, & my family, and my opinions and conclusions based on them. Whomever can take whatever they want from them, put it in their pipes and smoke it, or not. It makes no difference to me. I don't feel the need for "validation" or "acceptance" of strangers on a message board, and quite frankly, there is something very wrong with people who do. For me, this is a place to get sports information, participate in "discussions" about it, practice photoshopping, and participate in some off topic "discussions" as entertainment to pass the time or to bullshite. I have "perfect" friends and family whose opinions I care about, not those of complete strangers.

- Others' opinions do not "upset" me in the least, nor do I get "upset" and "enraged" when unknown posters on a message board disagree with me. However, after reading your clearly pissed off posts in reaction to mine, it's very obvious that you are quite bothered by my opinions about my own life, for whatever bizarre reasons, so yes, you do seem bitter. I didn't jump into a thread all pissed off raging about someone's own personal life experiences and opinions based on them, calling that person a liar. That's truly strange considering my life experiences and my own opinions based on them have no effect on yours in any way. My original post didn't even have anything to do with you, nor was it directed toward you, yet somehow, you took it personally. Weird.

- I neither stated directly nor inferred the things you claim I did, nor did I about anyone on this site. I gave examples from my life about my experiences with relationships and those of some of my friends and family. Those are the things I comment on because they are what I know. If you want to make sweeping generalizations and giant leaps based on those examples, knock yourself out, but let's be clear, those are your generalizations and leaps, not mine. I simply shared observations & comparisons of my relationships, past & present, and my feelings about them, information from friends about their feelings concerning their previous & present relationships, and observations regarding my own parents' relationship.

The only conclusions drawn by me were in direct association to my friends & family - people that I know - and myself. Very simply, those conclusions are that the relationships of my friends and myself that were/are the happiest are the ones in which there is not constant arguing over trivial matters which, for most of us, generally is a sign of bigger issues; and in those happier relationships, the amount of aggravation and irritation caused by the partners' "bad habits" was considerably less.This wasn't a scientific study; it was friends and family discussing their relationships and when & with whom they are/ were the happiest, and what makes a relationship good or bad for that particular person, and since we were discussing ourselves, it was obviously extremely accurate. The fact that you find it "highly questionable" is both audacious and laughable, as if anyone, particularly complete strangers, needs your stamp of approval to discuss their personal lives or form opinions about them. This, alone, would be hilarious if it wasn't so weird. You sound like you've never heard of girl talk. Maybe you should find some friends of your own to discuss personal issues with. Perhaps you wouldn't be so fixated on strangers so much. This isn't the first time you've tried to twist my comments for whatever your fricked up "issue." Extremely strange.

- Oh, and finally, what is it with your concern for my underwear??? Once again, you are wrong, and once again, very, very weird.

It really isn't earth shattering. I don't think it's so much luck as it is knowing what I want and what I expect from a relationship and a partner, actually, not only in romantic relationships, but from friendships, as well. I put in much time and effort in "getting to know" myself and figuring out who I am happy with and why. There was a lot of trial and error involved and learning from past mistakes and relationships, maybe a little fate, as well.

I put up with my fair share of random and not so so random annoying shite, years of it, and discovered hard work in a relationship doesn't always make it work, so instead of putting up with things that made me unhappy, I decided to make myself happy, and if I was to be happy with someone else in another relationship, that meant there would have to be some pretty high standards met for that relationship to be worth my time and effort; otherwise, I would be perfectly content not to be in one. At this point in my life, being picky and patient paid off. No, there are no habits of his that aggravate me constantly, or issues that piss me off royally. Sorry, I guess.

Nothing? Not one single thing? Mrs. Tantal has a horrible habit of eating a cup of yogurt, then getting sidetracked by the kids and forgets to throw it away. I walk in to find an empty yogurt cup on the table with a spoon hanging out the top. Not a deal-breaker by any stretch, but I find it annoying. You don't have even a little thing that you find to be a nuisance?


Nope, not one single little thing annoys me.
I've had to put up with a lot of nuisances through the years, though. Maybe I get something easy now.

Maybe she's being sweet and saving the other half of the yogurt for you. Think of it as her sharing.

No, but I am laughing "much." I find it hysterically funny when people way beyond high school age use teeny bopper slang.

Like I said, my rants don't have shite on yours. I mean, to post about something for over 6 hours that doesn't even affect you, a stranger's relationships, no less, then to be back first thing the next morning after staying up all night to continue with it?!?!?!! That's true dedication.

I'll admit, I did "study" your rant when typing mine. Yours has so much anger & bitterness, that it's obvious you've got a lot of experience with "ranting," so I figured I'd better try to mimic the pro. I still don't think I could work up to that level, though; I just don't seem to feel it as much. Maybe it's because I'm not annoyed or aggravated since Mr. Perfect is well, so ...

Perfect!!

Well, I certainly hate to end this wonderful amusement (no sarcasm), but I'm getting a call.

Have a great rest of the morning!
I know I surely will.
