About This Quiz

Depending on your perspective, relationships can either be a lot of fun or they can be a whirlwind of disaster. If your dating history has been filled with communication errors and a lack of respect from your significant others, then maybe they were just plain wrong for you. But today, we want to offer a new perspective as to how and why relationships turn sour, and that's due to dating pet peeves!

You might not even realize what some of your biggest pet peeves are, as many of them are subconscious. But other pet peeves are quite apparent, like noticing how your partner never says "thank you" or always says "I'm fine" when you can tell they're so not feeling fine. But having pet peeves may also come from a place of insecurity and jealousy. For example, if you hate that your SO is always hanging out with their friends, then maybe you feel like they're not giving you the attention you deserve. So remember, pet peeves aren't just about the little things that annoy you in a relationship. They're mostly about what you want out of a relationship and how you feel about yourself on the inside. So let's find out what your biggest pet peeve is with this dating quiz!
