In Brief
- The trait that initially attracts you to a person often later becomes your partner?s most irksome feature.
- Repeated exposure, disillusionment and the inescapability of a long-term partnership tend to make a spouse?s traits more grating than the quirks of others.
- Learning to reclassify annoying behaviors, increasing awareness of one?s own flaws and sharing new experiences can help turn those peccadilloes back into perks.
