A pet peeve is defined as "a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to them, to a greater degree than others may find it."
Lately, my boyfriend and I seem to be at odds over petty things -- food choices, weekend plans, phone call schedules, footwear issues, to name a few. To a certain extent, I attribute it to our opposing personalities. He is straightforward, I am indirect. He is calm, I go ballistic most of the time. He is outgoing, I am a homebody. He is logical, I am emotional. He is patient, I am intolerant.
We may have been born poles apart and we may argue quite incessantly but we value each other's uniqueness. Initially, I wanted him to change for me but I soon realized that since I made a choice to be with him, I might as well accept him, including his eccentricities. Because surely, I couldn't imagine how he could put up with my own insanity.
