What strange thing have you noticed other couples think is normal?

I once caught myself in a situation where I was talking to a woman in a relationship and she said she isn't allowed to wear high heels because then she is taller then her boyfriend.

I was amazed by this. Who would be so petty to forbid your partner from wearing something which damages your ego?

When I asked all of my other friends, they all thought this was very normal and they all agreed with this woman.

So my question is; What have you noticed that everybody thinks is normal but that you think is weird?

    I find several things abnormal.

    1. When a couple viciously fight, I mean name calling, punching, pushing, and slapping and then go, "Fighting is a normal thing all couples do," then make up like nothing happened.

    Though true that couples do have disagreements sometimes, some people take that sentence way too far.

    2. When texting is a primary form of communication for some couples. I've witnessed couples actually break up because of texting. "Oh, he/she doesn't reply to my text as quickly, he/she must be with another girl/guy." Or, "She didn't rely back to my text quickly, she must have little interest in me." Or, "He didn't text me all day, what the hell, he must not want me." Texting in relationships shouldn't be that serious.

    and more...

    As for the high heels thing, yeah, I find it weird too. I can see if she did it out of compassion for her partner, even though he didn't say anything about it, it was just her choice; but if he forbid it to satisfy his own insecurity, then that relationship is unhealthy. The guy needs to accept that he's short and learn to live with it.

    It's an interesting question. Hmmm a friend of mine who finally broke up with the guy, had a bf who would get angry if he perceived she didn't smile enough around his friends and family and got very angry and accusatory that she was trying to make him or things look bad... odd to me!

          Well the smiling thing could well have been a cultural thing. Brazilians prefer their partner to smile .even if its fake, when around their family or friends. Thisccan cause problems in relationships where the partner isn't Brazilian and doesn't want to or cannot change a lifetime of being him/herself to walking aaround with a stupid fake smile just to keep others , who he/she may not even want to be around or like, happy.

            Yeah I agree it may be a cultural thing that he wanted it but he got abusive when he didn't get it emotionally that wasn't cool.

    That´s bullshit really.

    I´m a tall woman, I wear heels and shit whenever I want it. My boyfriend wouldn´t LIKE it if I picked a pair that made me taller than him (He´s really tall) But he´d never say I couldn´t.

    Sollution? I don´t have to get a pair and wear them when we hang out. Had he strictly told me I couldn´t? I´d wear those babies all day everyday.

    I don't like chokers they look weird and awkward. My girlfriend likes them though. I've never told her to not wear it but I've told her I didn't like them. I guess some people just don't like certain stuff.

    One of the things I find weird is how some people won't wear a certain thing or wear their hair a certain way because it makes their partner sad or uncomfortable.

    I think it's weird that couples share the covers in bed. Especially if they keep having problems. A lot of people are so brainwashed into thinking one bed, one set of covers, that's the only way. It simply never occurs to them that they can have their own blankie.

      Hmm I guess I'm one of those people who never thought of it that way or brainwashed as you said. It's a good idea. Apparently, I'm an asshole in my sleep and steal all the blankets from my hubby!

        Don't feel bad, it's common. We see it on tv, in ads, our parents probably did it...a double bed is made up with one set of covers. When we start sleeping with someone else we kinda just go with the one cover system because it's all we know and we think it's the way even if it becomes disruptive. And instead of using sepatate blankets when problems arise...we try to solve some imaginary relationship problem that we see as manifesting itself via blanlets.

          Thanks and that's true. We have a King bed too, so two sets of blankets would work!
