Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Ah.
- 0:00Speaker 2: Yes. Marriage is often an exercise and tolerating whatever habits
- 0:04Speaker 2: annoy you about your spouse. Still, there are scientific reasons
- 0:09Speaker 2: that some pet peeves feel like nails on the chalkboard
- 0:12Speaker 2: of intimacy. According to researchers, these are the five habits
- 0:17Speaker 2: that annoy spouse is the most.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Are you ready I'm about to get into trouble here.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Yes.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Number one is the way you chew. That doesn't really
- 0:26Speaker 2: bother me at all. I think one time recently, Coco
- 0:29Speaker 2: was very close to me on the couch eating and
- 0:30Speaker 2: I heard her chewing, but it didn't bother me. I don't.
- 0:32Speaker 2: It doesn't come up a lot. What about you and chewing?
- 0:35Speaker 2: And Eric Christine? No, we're good, We're good.
- 0:37Speaker 1: We're good.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Yes, that's not a thing.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Okay. I'm thinking of a coworker once whose husband was
- 0:43Speaker 1: annoyed because she was breathing.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Well, that happens to me all the time. Why are
- 0:48Speaker 2: you breathing? Why did you open the door and come
- 0:50Speaker 2: in the house? Why are you here? All right? So
- 0:56Speaker 2: the way you choose up there, we're okay on that? Okay,
- 0:59Speaker 2: looking at your phone is number two.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Okay, that's big.
- 1:02Speaker 3: That should be number one.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Yeah, that should be number one, right, really be number one,
- 1:05Speaker 2: because I've been in trouble for looking at my phone
- 1:08Speaker 2: and not listening. Christine, you've caught Eric. He not listening.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Claims that he can multitask and be scrolling while I
- 1:17Speaker 1: tell him something, But then when he puts down the phone,
- 1:20Speaker 1: he goes, okay, so what now I know there's no
- 1:23Speaker 1: multitasking happening. So now when he's on the phone and
- 1:27Speaker 1: I want to tell him something, I start to talk
- 1:29Speaker 1: and he's like, and he's looking at the phone, and
- 1:32Speaker 1: I just say, I'll hold and I stop talking. So
- 1:36Speaker 1: he puts the phone down.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Oh my gouse. He usually put the phone down right
- 1:39Speaker 2: away when you hold me, he does, And do you
- 1:42Speaker 2: do the pop quiz? All right? What did I say?
- 1:45Speaker 1: Well? Not at that point.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Well then you know he's listening.
- 1:48Speaker 1: But if I have a follow up question after the scrolling,
- 1:51Speaker 1: then then we've got a thing. And I have to
- 1:53Speaker 1: do the same thing for him. You know, when he's
- 1:56Speaker 1: talking to me, I have to pick the phone down. Right,
- 1:59Speaker 1: feels better for both of.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Us, goes both ways, christ In your house, oh yeah,
- 2:03Speaker 2: it's hard.
- 2:03Speaker 3: In my house because my husband Ryan, he owns his
- 2:05Speaker 3: own business, so a lot is done on his phone,
- 2:08Speaker 3: and I totally understand that he has to work just
- 2:10Speaker 3: like I come to work. Sometimes there are you know,
- 2:14Speaker 3: there are times where I'm like, you know, you're not
- 2:16Speaker 3: supposed to be on your phone, or we need to
- 2:17Speaker 3: get something done. And it happened last week where I
- 2:20Speaker 3: explained something three times on what the plan was for
- 2:24Speaker 3: a certain day, and a couple hours later he came
- 2:26Speaker 3: up to me and he goes, Okay, so what's going
- 2:29Speaker 3: on now? And I looked at him and went, Nope,
- 2:32Speaker 3: figure it out. Oh I'm not repeating myself. I said
- 2:35Speaker 3: it three times, Why don't I say it a fourth?
- 2:36Speaker 2: Wow? See, I feel like I'm at home now. My
- 2:38Speaker 2: heart's racing. I've been there many times.
- 2:40Speaker 1: You're okay, And to Christen's point, I need to give
- 2:43Speaker 1: Eric a little bit of a pass because being a
- 2:45Speaker 1: drummer and freelance work, he does need to be on
- 2:48Speaker 1: top of the phone because he's getting gigs. I wouldn't
- 2:50Speaker 1: want to cost him a gig, of course, but if
- 2:52Speaker 1: it's something like you're saying, where I need like to
- 2:55Speaker 1: give you information, I'll wait so you can put it down.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Can I tell you the best feeling in the world.
- 2:59Speaker 2: My wife says, did you hear me? And I go, yeah,
- 3:02Speaker 2: I did, and she goes, okay, what did you say?
- 3:03Speaker 2: And I get it right? Who when I get it right?
- 3:06Speaker 2: Oh dude, I'm throwing gatorade on myself. I'm high five
- 3:09Speaker 2: in like the kids. Yeah all right. So wait the
- 3:13Speaker 2: way you choose number one looking at your phone. Number
- 3:16Speaker 2: two five habits and annoy your spouse. Number three is
- 3:18Speaker 2: bragging about yourself. Oh that's not a thing. Yeah, not
- 3:21Speaker 2: a thing with us either, a thing spending money irresponsibly.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Number four. Money always comes up. And finally keeping score
- 3:29Speaker 2: in the relationship. Oh well, I did the cat litter
- 3:32Speaker 2: last night. Oh that maybe that.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Kind of thing, maybe like a friendly like Ryan and
- 3:35Speaker 3: I sometimes do that in a friendly manner, you know,
- 3:37Speaker 3: like we'll rock paper, sister on who's going to change
- 3:39Speaker 3: the baby's diaper? You know, like something like that.
- 3:41Speaker 1: But you know, okay, So the biggest for us, the
- 3:44Speaker 1: biggest uh looking at your phone here is the phone
- 3:47Speaker 1: we can all relate to. We want to put the
- 3:49Speaker 1: phone down. Also, just as a side note, there's a
- 3:52Speaker 1: thermstat Wars is a big thing too. I know it's
- 3:54Speaker 1: not in the top five but it's a big thing
- 3:57Speaker 1: at home in the office. Science has an answer for
