It's often easier to focus on what annoys us about our partner than what we appreciate. This could be due to our tendency to notice annoyances more readily or unresolved anger. We're wired to notice obstacles rather than smooth sailing, which can skew our perspective. However, addressing annoyances promptly is vital. If left unprocessed, they accumulate and strain the relationship, leading to a decline in kindness and support. By promptly addressing issues and cultivating empathy, we can maintain a healthier relationship dynamic. Is it easy or difficult to come up with a list of things that you like about your partner versus things that annoy you?
