44-year-old woman considers leaving her boyfriend over a pillow: ‘I just feel like I’ve run out of ways to calmly communicate why this is important to me’ – FAIL Blog

I totally get the ‘I told him so many times, and he doesn’t seem to listen’ situation, and how important it is in relationships that we feel heard, even in our most capricious demands, but this example is rather comical. To me, it would be very easily solved through a threat like ‘if you destroy the pillow, you’ll have to buy me another immediately,’ and that’s it, you forget the problem until that happens, and only then you try to force him to comply lol. Maybe you can make a written contract and everything. There is definitely much worse that can go down in a relationship, and if your biggest problem is a pillow, I think you should consider yourself privileged.
