10 Things People Would Change About Their Partners, if They’re Being Honest

It’s a standard bit of relationship advice to not go into one thinking you’re going to change the person.

It’s very difficult for people to change, the wisdom goes, and when they do, it’s generally a deeply personal thing that comes from within, and not from others.

And yet, despite the fact that we know this, we still can’t help but privately harp on the things we wish we would shift about those we’re with.

Just check out what these anonymous contributors would change about their partners if they had the chance.

10. Standing up

Why are they like that?

9. Stubbornness

It can be a benefit at times, but man can it also cause problems.

8. The drive

Being incompatible in this area can be a real problem.

7. The butt

Ah yes, stay classy fellas.

6. Independance

You gotta be able to strike out on your own.

5. Location, location

Long distance relationships are near impossible to maintain.

4. Farting

Well that’s interesting.

3. Affection

Everybody wants to feel wanted.

2. Understanding

Not feeling understood can make the whole problem even more isolating.

1. Finances

I feel like he’d be very unhappy to know this.

At the end of the day, if we can’t stand being with someone without them changing, we shouldn’t be with them, and if we can look past it, then we’re probably in good shape.

Has a partner ever tried to change you? Do you feel like it was warranted?
