So, I've wanted to be in this relationship with this guy for about 4 years, and now all of the chips are falling so that things can work out. I'm really kind of nervous about it though because I want this one to last for the rest of my life and I don't want to mess it up. I have a bad habit of getting really irritated with my partner after a while. Everything they do and say starts to make me want to punch them. I don't want this to happen with this guy. sad Any ideas on how I can avoid it? I've been working on learning to accept things about people that I may not be a very big fan of, like if they left one dish dirty after doing the dishes or something. But I don't know if that's going to be enough to keep the relationship as calm and pleasant on my end as it needs to be. help?
