acidtalk: LITTLE ATTITUDES THAT CREATE BIG PROBLMS IN HOMES.

Marriage is a union mostly within two people from absolutely opposite backgrounds.

Statistics have shown that most problems in married homes are usually very trivial and avoidable acts which if well checked, could have been avoided.

People have gone to court to seek for divorce for the flimsiest of reasons.

Below are some of the acts both men and women need to check to enable a happy and non tensed home front.

* Getting up from the bed without bothering to lay it.

* Leaving items liter around the living room and bed room.

*Not agreeing to if the toilet seat should be kept down or up.

*Refusing to take food from the bottom of pot.

* Refusing to eat the top of a sliced bread even when you tore the wrapper open.

* Chatting or Playing with your phone, laptop, tablet, reading a book or watching tv while your spouse is saying or complaining of something important.

* Walking out on your spouse while he/she is complaining of what is hurting them.

*Refusing to eat a food if there's no meat, fish or egg decorated on it.

* Refusing to flush the WC after using the rest room.

* Refusing to mop the floor after littering water all over the floor after having a bath.

* Piling up dishes in the sink.

* Not turning off the electronics while going to bed or leaving the house.

* Too pompous to use the words "thank you, I am sorry, Please".

* throwing used diapers around instead of disposing them properly.

* Buying luxury items without prior consent of your partner.

* Thinking you don't owe your partner an explanation for coming home late or leaving the house at whatever time you want.

* Going through your partners items (phones, laptops, pockets, hand bags etc) all for the sole aim of catching them cheating.

* Always eavesdropping on your partners phone and physical conversation with family, friends, colleagues, neighbors and strangers.

* Waking your partner from their sleep only to complain about events that happened during the day.

At least one of the above listed is a major cause while a marriage is about to get disolved aside major reasons like infidelity, Finance, and Family interferance.

This shouldn't be enough to end a marriage, that's just absurd. My little sister does most of the things that are listed up here, but i haven't disowned her because of it.

stagger: In my own case, the towel business was such an issue. When I was small, I would drop my wet towel on the bed, dress up, then take the towel out. When I got married, I found out that even allowing a wet towel on the bed became a big issue.

Sometimes I like to just tie wrapper because I like air to get to my unmentionables once in a while. My wife just hates it. She prefers me wearing shorts and boxers to appreciate my legs.

Then she has this habit of leaving the bathroom without properly drying her legs, leaving a trail of water that she most times, does not bother to clean. As a domestic safety freak, that drives me mad! I also don't like it when the last of the pot of soup is served and wait for it... no meat! And I am told that the meat finished because I took more than my allocated two pieces on day 1 of the soup. I recall the same thing with my mum years back so I sometimes forgive that one. I have of course, found a way to always make sure extra meat is available once the soup or stew is finishing so there are no stories.

And then the hair net business. Why would a husband pay for his wife to look good, only for that pleasure to go to outsiders and he be left with hair nets all the time? I hate hair nets. I simply loathe them. . .

LOL grin cheesy

I will beat someone into unconsciousness if they repeatedly did the above. angry cry

Let them burn the house down nau; that'll teach 'em. undecided

* Too pompous to use the words "thank you, I am sorry, Please".

You mean there are men people that use all three? shocked lipsrsealed tongue

* Waking your partner from their sleep only to complain about events that happened during the day.

I will be doing this often. undecided wink

Nobody has said anything about IN-LAWS Coming to live with u like FOREVER!!! They could cause 'WAHALA'.
I had a cousin whose brother- in -law came to visit and then DECIDED to stay for about 15 long years without leaving. It actually took family and village meetings to take him out. He later tagged my cousin that fed him for the whole 15 years a WITCH!

If your usual time to get out of bed is 6am please set a seperate alarm for 5:45am. That time is to remind you to pull it off. It isn't sexy one bit seeing that thing on even a beauty queen.

So even those that walk around in hair net at 10am are probably sleep walking as well.

Somenice looking ladies could walk few blocks to go buy something and that isn't just cute one bit.

Guilty of the wet towel and bread one. But so is the rest of my family.

I'm female and hair nets are def not sexy but I sometimes use them or just tie a scarf. The meat issue also seems to be a huge one and Idk why. I guess it's a Nigerian thing.

Sumtimes Divorce is a blessing nd not a curse most especially wen a man run into the hands of a deceitful woman nd finds it difficult to pull back, nd once given the opportunity it calls for a divorce. Isn't it a blessing to such a man. My pple if na me, i go throw the biggest bash in town on a Saturday evening and go for a thanksgiving/divorce blessing on Sunday morning. Infact, na me go even first every body come church

All we need as marriage partners is Love, forbearing with one another and longgggggggggg suffering. All these things are very very trivial. It should not lead to divorce. Gentle correction works.

I really don't like this habit of leaving unwashed dishes in the sink. To me, it all boils down to home training and individual traits. You might be advised against doing some things but it is left to you to either take it or ignore it.

When I was much younger, it was a huge task washing my plates after eating; I'll just leave it on the kitchen pavement beside the sink to wash when I'm in the mood but my mom won't hear of it. She would say nobody is your maid here, if you can eat then you must wash your plates before going to bed. Sometimes I obey sometime I don't. But would do it the following day.

As I increased in age and became wiser, I just dropped some habits naturally. Now, after eating I wash ASAP! I hate seeing dirty dishes and pots in the kitchen. I don't put dishes in the sink because doing so will damage the sink in the long run and also prevents one from using the sink for other purposes.

I love cooking in a neat kitchen especially when I wake up in the morning. There is nothing like cooking in an atmosphere of freshness and cleanliness.
