While nice gestures are part of a relationship, they don’t paint the entire picture. Partners need to put a whole lot of effort into day-to-day life as well. And sometimes they don’t. From neglecting to clean the sink post-shave to leaving dirty laundry around the house, husbands and boyfriends sometimes do things inefficiently. And while there’s not one correct way to do things, we at Bored Panda have put together complaints by women frustrated by their partner’s incompetence at daily tasks. Stephanie O’Leary, PsyD, practicing in Westchester, NY said, “Holding in feelings has a negative impact on mental and physical health. Short bursts of complaints are preferable so stress hormones don’t build.” Journaling is a good way to express what you are feeling. “If you’re prone to holding things in and then having a rant, practice writing down what’s bothering you at the end of the day, and if you see an issue show up two days in a row, know it’s time to address it directly,” O’Leary said. Clark further explains, “And while this may seem a minor difference, it sets up a big difference in what you will receive from your listener that can, in turn, have a big impact on how you end up feeling.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
