What’s an annoying thing your partner does that would break your heart if they actually stopped doing it?

Sleeping in late and gaming at home. It’s SO annoying, but it also means he’s not cheating lol
instead of saying “making the bed” he says “folding the bed”
Slapping my butt. It annoys the living hell out of me but I miss it when I complain and he stops doing.
My wife comes in after work and begins talking non-stop, doesn’t matter what I’m doing, but on the days she doesn’t, it’s very disconcerting.
Talking to me about his intellectual projects. Sometimes im soooo bored but I count it a sad morning that we dont talk about something fun.
My husband is ten years older than me so someday I will experience that exact heartbreak.
Bugging me when I’m being grumpy. Most of the time he knows I’m not actually mad so he pokes me or stares at me until I laugh which though I sometimes get annoyed, I do love it and think it’s sweet.
My boyfriend starts saying goodbye 20 minutes before I leave home, and will end up saying it 20 times before I actually leave. I can be undressed with my toothbrush in my mouth and he will be hovering in the doorway telling me to be safe and have fun. It drives me mad, especially as it means he will constantly get in my way as I try to get ready. But i know it would devastate me if he ever stopped doing it.
Sharing YouTube reviews of coffee and backpacks. No, I don’t care for either, but it’s so adorable that he’s so passionate about it.
Ask for my opinion about what he should cook for dinner when I’m on my period. I hate the pressure of picking something, but I actually like that he cares about what I want to eat, especially during that time. I would literally eat anything he makes, but it makes me feel really special when he wants to make something I might be craving. He’s so patient when I’m unsure, too. He sits down with me and has a whole discussion and throws out suggestions. I just have PMDD and I get especially irritated sometimes, and he is so sweet about reminding me that he’s just trying to help me feel better. I feel so awful after I get irritated like that. I want to kick my own ass sometimes. But he just gets it. It would break my heart if I caused him to stop asking me.
Humming to himself while doing things
He texts “be careful” when I leave to go somewhere (driving) which used to be annoying because do you think I don’t know how to drive safely? But then I got used to it and now I think it’s cute
When she randomly pokes me in the butthole
Always wanting to shower together. Neither of us have a big shower. I hate getting cold and like being in the shower by myself most of the time. But id be sad if he stopped asking!
Constant phone calls that could have been texts. It just means he what’s to hear my voice
Teasing me, touching me, spanking me, slapping my “camel toe”, squeezing my butt, hugging me, holding me… LOL… I just realized I wrote down that it has to do with affection and being seen!
Squeeze my boobs and saying beep beep 😭😭
With bedroom type activities he would always make sure I was taken care of first. Not during actual sex, but other times he’d trick me, take care of me and then be ready for bed. It annoyed me because he tricked me but it made me feel so loved.
I feel like this question is better suited to my husband than it is to me lol. I’m the one in the relationship who does the majority of the lovingly annoying (and often really weird) stuff that he’d miss if I stopped.
I can not say the word “hard” around him without him wiggling his eyebrows at me
Not my husband but my son (young adult). He talks a lot about his video games and comic books which I have no interest in and it’s very boring. But I love him and happy to have him still living with me so I listen and will be sad when he’s gone and we don’t have those convos anymore.
My late fiance used to call me Nutmouth. It never pissed me off. I’d let him call me anything if he were here again.
constant touching. can be annoying but i would be sooooo sad if he stopped
Being startled by his own farts. Legitimately startled every time
Not a romantic partner, but I’m a woman who lives with my twin brother. Whenever he stops by the grocery store on his way home from work to pick up a couple of things, he always picks me up a slice of cake, just because he knows I like it. I’m disabled and don’t do the physical shopping (I do organize and order our main groceries for delivery), so I never really pick up things just for me. I had craving for cake one time, and he just always keeps it in mind now. He is super consistent with this and I find it to be so loving and thoughtful.
Edit: I guess my brain skipped over the “annoying” part of the prompt 😅
Making sexual comments to me but in a corny way, and meaning every word. I’m terrible at receiving it in the moment, but I secretly love it. I never want it to stop 🙂
when we’re on the couch (L shaped), he’s usually on one side, and I’m in the corner, with my feet towards him. he, every day, at random moments, pokes my big toe. if he succeeds and I don’t notice until he does it (if I do, I will hide my toe from him), he has this grin on his face like he just scored a goal in a game
he calls it his sneak attack 🧡
Waking me up to say goodbye when he goes to work. I can never fall back asleep after, but I’d be so sad if I didn’t get my morning goodbye kiss
If he ever stopped saying “tiddies” every time he gets a glimpse of me shirtless. Sometimes he doesn’t so I just casually take a little longer to find an outfit until he does
my boyfriend stares at me all the time and tells me im beautiful which is sweet and all but 10 times a day is a little overboard and annoys the heck outta me but if he ever stopped id be crushed
Sometimes when we are having “separate hobby time”, like he will be gaming with his boys and I’ll be reading or watching a show only I like etc, he will run into the room I’m in, headset half off to check on me to “make sure I know he still loves me” but always does so very Kramer-esque so he just barges in. Sometimes when I’m reading and I can hear him stomping towards the door mid-page I internally get very slightly irritated, but then immediately his goofy smile and how much he truly LOVES me to be running in here between games with his friends to give me kisses etc just melts me.
my boyfriend would take 10 minutes to say bye to all his friends at the gym and his workouts took much longer than mine. after my workout i’d sit on the couch and wait for him to finish and say bye to everyone. now i just wish i could go back. rest in peace my love🤍🕊️
