Today, my wife and I decided to try a relationship book. The first activity was to write down some things your partner does that bothers you. I made a very long list, then my wife and I swapped papers. She'd written, "nothing, I love everything about you." She read my list and began tearing up. FML

Today, I went to therapy. Previously, I had been given the task to write a list of things I hate about myself so my doctor could see what we needed to work on. I gave her the list, and she simply said, "Wow, I've never had someone give me such a long list." I had 55 items on the list. FML

Today, after I'd offered to make suggestions to my partner after she finished writing an essay for her college class, and she'd read my suggestions, we argued about every single point I wrote down. Despite telling her she didn't have to take any suggestions we argued for 2 days about it. The professor had the same notes as mine. FML

Today, I was talking with my friend-turned boyfriend and cutely told him that I could no longer remember all the things that he used to do that bothered me. He told me he could remember every one of mine and listed them all off for me. FML

Today, I wrote my boyfriend a love letter during class and told him to read it when he got home. He texted me later asking me why I gave him my school assignment. I must have handed the love letter in to my teacher. FML

Today, my husband and I went to our first counseling sessions, where the main focus was communication. When the therapist called us in together to discuss techniques we could use at home, my husband looked around, rolled his eyes, and responded with, "Uh huh" to every question. FML

Today, depressed about a recent break-up with my long-term boyfriend, I bought a book about moving on after a relationship ends. The cashier placed some standard promotional fliers in my bag during check-out. Once home, I pulled out the fliers. They were for a married couples retreat. FML

Today, my girlfriend found a letter I'd written to myself for moral support while we were broken up, in which I explained why we would never work out. Apparently I made a convincing argument. FML

Today, I found some .pdf files on my wife's computer. They were forms that had been filled out except for the date and the "reason" section. They were divorce papers. When confronted about it she said, "Well, if you piss me off really bad, I want to write down why before I calm down." FML

Sounds like you shouldn't be married if you have such a long list :- Also, her part, she's lying. She atleast has a COUPLE of things she doesn't like about you!

That's bull. Trust me, you do some stuff that annoys your wife. Otherwise, you would never have started the stupid book. She's got to be ready for stuff like that and she's got to be more honest with you. I hate it when other women act like idiots, they give us a bad rep.

FYL. I hope you wrote, "lying", "passive aggressive", "manipulative", "petty", and "childish" on the list. Her tears are probably fake too. If she gets more passive aggressive about this and start doing the, "well you hate me so blah blah blah" sh*t, tell her to shut her trap. Apparently nothing about you bothers her, so telling her to shut her trap shouldn't do anything either. Nothing about you bothers her, she she should be thrilled to receive the list. FYL for having a total b*tch for a wife. Too bad it's too late to dump her and divorces are costly.

FYL and YDI...FYL because what's the point of trying out a relationship book if you're not going to honestly try to work on things? She should've done the list the right way. But also, it's a YDI because you made such a long list. You should've just picked the main things that annoy you the most and left it at that. But I don't think your wife was being overly sensitive, like some have said, because ANYONE would get a little upset reading a huge list of things that annoy their SO, whether you both did the exercise right or not!

Such BS. If you agree to do something, do it. It's supposed to help.

As everyone else has said, she must have been lying. There's gotta be SOMETHING about you that bothers her. Maybe now it's the long list you wrote? Lol.

LMAO! Well, relationships are based on honesty. Your wife isn't being honest with her reply. I've never known a single couple, no matter what stage of the relationship they were in [first few months, 2 years, engaged, married, etc] that was 100% happy with their relationship. Nobody's perfect. We all do things that bother our significant other at one point or another.
