A new study at the University of Louisville delved into all those little quirks that eventually blow up relationships. As time goes on, little quirks build and build, til one day it's "I'm outta here!".
Do these categories sound familiar?
Uncouth habits: poor grooming, bad table manners, not cleaning up after yourself in the bathroom. Inconsiderate acts: always being late, talking endlessly about yourself, refusing to do your share of the housework. Intrusive behaviors: criticizing, controlling, threatening. Norm violations: drinking too much, avoiding work, flirting with other people, and so forth.
One consoling thought: "Men and women were equal offenders, by the way. Findings pointed to men
as more uncouth and "norm violating," and women as more inconsiderate
and intrusive."
Gee, and I thought it was just us guys!
