The Reason He Thinks You're Really Annoying, Based On Your Zodiac Sign
This is why.
No matter how much you adore you partner and how perfect you think they are, they still do things that annoy the crap out of you. Don’t worry, that’s normal. Being able to control your irritation is a sign of maturity and shows that you are willing to look past these feelings of annoyance.
Here’s the good part: you may not think it’s true but you probably have a ton of behaviors that annoy your partner.
But it’s all okay as it’s part of the human experience — tolerating your partner's bad habits, quirks and weirdness will just make your relationship stronger. Though, if you know you do something that’s highly annoying and it’s not difficult for you to tone it down, that’s good too.
It ultimately doesn't harm us when we’re considerate of other people. Sure, if you like to paint your toenails while watching TV in the living and you know it makes your partner queasy to witness this moment of self-grooming, but you can change it up and do it in the bathroom. Better still, make a standing appointment for a pedicure — you get pampered and your partner can live with the illusion that your feet are magically groomed.
When your partner does something so annoying and does it so often that you think your head will explode, it’s a good idea to let them know. Timing and tone are crucial here; you wouldn't want to tell him you don’t appreciate his farting while he’s watching the big game with his friends or tell him his table manners are atrocious when dining out with friends.
Practice being honest while still being kind and hopefully, your partner will treat you and the annoying things you do with the same care. Here are the most annoying zodiac signs and how they seriously irritate their partner, based on your zodiac sign.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
istock
You're a terrible winner AND loser. When you lose at something, no matter how trivial, you sulk and act as if your whole world has been shaken to its core, but when you win you gloat. You're not a gracious winner by any stretch of the imagination. You're not a fun person to compete with because it's never a win-win situation with you. You're annoying when you play board games or train for athletic events and any kind of sport. But it doesn't end there because you're gifted at making almost everything a competition.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
istock
There's no easy way to say this but you're kind of a lazy-ass. It's not that you don't work or even that you don't work hard, but you'll jump (in a small, not-strenuous way) at any opportunity to do nothing. When you get comfy, it takes a lot to dislodge you. If your significant other asks you if you want to go to the movies, you'd respond that you'd rather stay home and watch Netflix. Add your laziness to how you hate change of any kind and you can see how someone might get frustrated with you and your behavior.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
istock
Maybe it's because there are two very distinct sides to your personality but you can be a complete scatterbrain. You forget what time you're supposed to meet someone, you get confused on directions, and you constantly get important dates wrong. It's very annoying to have to tell you things several times and to have to make sure that you understand how important certain vital information is. When you forget things like your partner's parent's anniversary dinner or arrive late to a work function, you're usually able to smooth things over with your charm but it's very annoying.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
istock
Cancer is one of the most annoying zodiac signs in the way they go overboard in caring for their partner. You smother them with your love. They have a mom or a mother-figure and they don't need another one in the form of their girlfriend. Can you pull back a little on the excessive caregiving? Your partner is fully capable of taking care of themselves and they know they can count on you if they need a little help. So, try to give them some space.

LEO (July 23 - August 22)
istock
Admittedly you know a lot, but you don't know it all. Plus, there are times when you're actually wrong and you make a mistake. It's extremely annoying when you have to put your two cents in on every conversation, even about topics that you know nothing about like crop circles or 20th Century social change. But even worse is your refusal to ever take responsibilities for when you're incorrect. It's not easy to have a relationship with a smartypants.

VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
istock
You tend to freak out if forced to go off plan even a little. You always have things scheduled and planned but if for some reason there has to be a little flexibility and improvisation, you can't take it. It's annoying for your partner to have to calm you down and get you back on course when it's usually something simple like the store was out of that special salmon you use to make your appetizer for a dinner party. It's easy enough to go to another store or do another recipe but suddenly it's as if your world has turned upside down. You need to loosen your grip on things and try to be more laid back, especially about trivial things.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
istock
Your dithering, vacillating, and just plain inability to make a decision is annoying enough but then you overthink your decisions before and after they've been made. You then regret and often try to undo the decision that took so much energy to make in the first place. It's not the end of the world if you get chocolate ice cream this time and caramel swirl the next.

SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
istock
God help the person who pisses you off because you don't forget and you don't forgive. It's bad enough that you have a vengeful side to your personality but you need to drag your partner into your drama as well. Much of the time, the problem you're having is only in your head and it's as uncomfortable as hell for any partner to have to remember who it is that you're not talking to anymore or what tiny thing they did to tick you off.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
istock
You're funny and you love making people laugh, but you seem to be unable to access important technique which is being able to read the crowd. You tell the wrong jokes at the wrong time or are funny when the situation doesn't call for humor. It's annoying to your partner that you don't have the sense to see that making sarcastic comments at his cousin's funeral isn't cool. It could be that you're just not that sensitive to others but more than likely you're just nervous and you're trying to hide your own anxiety with humor. Going through security isn't the time to make a joke.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
istock
One of the ways you annoy your partner is with how stingy you can be. If you're at a group dinner at a restaurant and everybody puts in what they owe, you always put in too little. It's not that you need to over-tip but you have to at least put in 15 percent. Then there's the way you try to charm the cashier at the grocery store to accept your expired coupons or how you don't care if something is past its sell date; if you can get it at a discount price, you're happy. Follow these guidelines: Pay what you owe, be more generous when it comes to tipping, and realize that sometimes there's a reason that the price has been drastically slashed.

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
istock
It's hugely annoying to your partner how sometimes you like to take the opposing stance on a topic just to stir things up. It's as if you get energized by being contrary. You like to be the instigator and get people worked up. No one wants you to not speak your mind or stand up for what you believe it, just be mindful that not everything merits a protest. Pick your battles and let the rest go.

PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
istock
You can be a pushover. It annoys your partner watching people take advantage of your big heart and walking all over you. No matter how protective your partner may be or how safe you feel, there are times when you need to stand up for yourself. You need to make your own decisions and act following what you think is right. Too often you just follow whoever is the loudest and most dominate. Cultivate your latent independent spirit and you'll feel better about yourself.
