how do you politely tell someone,,they get on your nerves,like your spouse?

Answer 1

The easiest way to attack this problem is to put yourself in their shoes. How would you want to be told. In telling them you may find out there are things you do that annoy them.
Pick your battles. If it is something you can ignore or tune out then take that route. If it is something that is driving you mad. Share it with them. They may have done it for so long, it's habit and they don't realize there doing it.
*Chewing food with their mouth open
*Talking all through a TV show
*Picking at their toes
These are some of my pet peeves. I on the other hand didn't get a very good reception when I shared these things with my man at the time. He took it as a personal attack, then turned around and pointed out my flaws. Hope you have better luck than I.

Answer 2

We all can get on each others nerves.

Is there a passionate bone in your body? IF you can find one, then you'll find a passionate way of letting your spouse know that they ate getting on your nerves.

IF you have no passion, you'll either end up telling them in a harsh hurtful way, or just live with it, and that will cause marital problems.

Just politely say: Dear, I'm having a bad few minutes here, and I'd really like to put a stop to you being a part of the problem, so, could you please just back off for a few, because your getting on my nerves.

IF you have doen something to cause your spouse to being on your nerves, then shut up and take it!!

Answer 3

First, really focus on how you're feeling when this someone irritates you. It could be your feelings are magnifying the thing. Do you have some unresolved issue with the person that you're not able to talk about? Is there some physical discomfort that is making you overly sensitive? Then if looking at your own physical and emotional contribution doesn't give you an answer. then just express how you are felling. DOn't make it an accusation- saysomething that just describes that you are feeling irritated. Ask if there is any way that this thing they are doing is unconcious.

Answer 4

Honey, I don't mean to be critical or hurt your feelings cause I might when I tell you the following. I don't know if you noticed, when you are or when you do this, it really gets on my nerves and it irritates me.

You pick the thing they do. If it's everything, then you have some problems. LOL That's how I would do it. You preface your statement with the fact you don't mean to hurt them. You can use this with anyone, friends, family, and strangers.

Good luck

Answer 5

Just that way. Open and true communications are required and the best way to handle a situation. Be specific and let your spouse know what it is they do that gets on your nerves (you know like “You drive me crazy leaving the toilet seat up. Will you please work on that?”)

Answer 6

Is there truly a polite way to tell some one they get on your nerves?? Heck no so just tell them. I simply out it out there take it as you will but please just stop. There was one I told him I just couldn't deal and couldn't stand the way he breathed even...it was over.
~Good Luck~

Answer 7

Don't tell them. Go to the doctor and get something for 'your' nerves. Odds are you are on edge.

Answer 8

You are not very specific here but I am going to say...

You don't.

You CHOSE to marry that person as is now you don't get to ***** when they turn out to be who they are.

If you don't like something about them you should have made a better decision in the first place.
