THE WEIRDEST THINGS WE’VE LEARNED ABOUT OUR PARTNERS IN 2020

We’ve all spent much more time with our partners than usual this past year. It’s been hard to hide some of our little quirks. HuffPost asked “What were the Weirdest Things You Learned About Your Partner In 2020?”:
– “My boyfriend doesn’t like to snack. He doesn’t even want to. One time we baked a cake, and he didn’t want to try the leftover batter. It’s weird and troubling.”
– “My wife could quarantine for the rest of her life. As long as she can get groceries, wine, books, skin products and weed delivered, and as long as I can pick up her prescriptions and walk the dog, she’ll lie in bed, work on her iPhone and watch MSNBC until she hears the same damn news story 112 times.” (* Sadly, the husband prefers FOX News.)
– “I learned my husband has an inner dancer. He has a bucket list that includes polka lessons.”
– “My girlfriend has a thing about even numbers. All her drinks have to have an even number of ice cubes. The TV volume has to be on an even number.” (* And it really, REALLY upsets her that her even number fetish is … odd.)
– “My boyfriend needlessly wears a headlamp around the house. He would be on work calls with it on his head, not even with the light on. He cooks dinner with it.”
– “My boyfriend can lose things in the apartment even when we don’t go anywhere, and then believes that they’re gone forever.”
– “My husband eats the same fart-inducing lunch every day, for months. Eggs, broccoli, feta.”
– “My wife runs our house like a senior manager. She uses corporate buzzwords when talking to us, like ‘I’m going to have to circle back to that,’ in answer to a question from our daughter, or ‘How’s the family synergy?’ at breakfast.”
* So “for better or worse,” and “in sickness and in health” didn’t BEGIN to cover it.
* I’ve learned that my wife is the most pleasant person to be around ever, and has no weird habits. And I’m not just saying that because she’s listening right now.
* I’ve learned that my existence is really annoying. I never knew that before Month 2.
