The article discusses how minor irritations in daily life, such as a partner's messy shoes or hair in the shower, can accumulate over time and impact wellbeing and relationships. The writer humorously reflects on personal experiences, suggesting that these annoyances, often overlooked, may lead to larger issues in a partnership like divorce. It highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing these small, nagging grievances, which, if unchecked, can erode the fabric of a relationship.
Though I feel it is worth pointing out that I am taken down by his big stupid shoes (abandoned haphazardly in the middle of the floor) on a daily basis, whereas he only has to deal with the hair every few months - as a special treat for him, I like to leave it languishing there until it clumps together and comes to resemble an adorable little woodland creature.
For example, I'd wager that a sizeable proportion of divorces come about because of decades spent tripping over the big stupid shoes of your husband or, on his side of things, the decades spent pulling out the long human hair that accumulates in the shower drain.
