Why would someone in a relationship suddenly be irritated with the other person?

Answer 1

It could quite possibly be that someone else is sticking their jealous nose into the relationship and trying to break the two people up by pointing out that person's faults. It happened to one of my friends they were "madly in love" and he started to get very irritated with his girlfriend because everyone else didn't like her I wasn't fond of her either but thats was no reason to try and break them up...I really hate when people who really know nothing about a relationship find ways to break people up. Honnestly tho if it is that someone is influencing someones views of their partner that much it wasn't meant to be...they have a brain of their own and can make their own decisions.

I dunno I could just be going out on a tangent here.

Answer 2

Well, if the irritated person is a woman especially, it is possibly frustration at trying to "take care" of the relationship.

~Excerpt from "The Walkaway Wife Syndrome"

"In the early years of marriage, women are the relationship caretakers. They carefully monitor their relationships to make sure there is enough closeness and connection. If not, women will do what they can to try to fix things. If their husbands aren't responsive, women become extremely unhappy and start complaining about everything under the sun...things that need to get done around the house, responsibilities pertaining to the children, how free time is spent and so on. Unfortunately, when women complain, men generally retreat and the marriage deteriorates even more."

Answer 3

Its just another facet of human nature. Being around someone on a consistant basis, you are bound to see the good, bad and indifferent sides of a person. It takes alot of energy to keep the relationship engine going, and sometimes it only takes a stupid comment or habit the person has to set you off. Especially if you have other stressors going on in your life at the time.

Answer 4

They could've been irritated long time ago, bottling everything up inside, and now the bubble popped. Or it could be mood swings.. and loss of interest, not wanting to be with that person anymore so they are trying to get dumped, oh it could also PMS.

Answer 5

Getting irritated with something that person is doing. You should ask so that it doesn't turn into a break-up.

Answer 6

Because you start getting comfortable and all the bad habits come out. You spend so much time together you will eventually get irritated.

Answer 7

because they have probably grown close to each other so they know the irritating things that they do. they become comfortable with each other and as a result, little things bother them. for example, i have been with my BF for 4 yrs, at first, nothing about him bothered me. now, it bothers me that he has to have a toothpick each and everytime he eats. and he keeps putting it in his mouth forever after the meal. but i love him so much. its just that we know the little annoying/irritating things of each other. dont let it get to you. ♥

Answer 8

they found someone else that makes them happy so being around someone they do not want to be with makes them irritated

Answer 9

usually iritation occurs when nothing new happens, if it is just the same person doing the same thing day by day usually you will get fed up and want something or someone new to come along.

Answer 10

some people have good days and bad days but if it keeps going on u should ask them what do they want u or someone else
