My biggest struggles revolve around food and very general household chores.
I love to cook. I love to experiment, but the list of items the woman who became my wife refused to eat made that very very difficult. I've had some positive impact on shortening that list, but it's still a struggle (she doesn't like bacon! Who doesn't like bacon!?!)
In addition, I do laundry one way, she does it a different way, funnily enough we ran into conflict over that, and she ended up doing lots of laundry for a while.
I don't like dishwashers, particularly dishwashers where you have to effectively wash the dishes before putting them in the washer, so I wash by hand. She didn't like that.
They were relatively minor things but they did cause conflict.
Heck we still don't go there...and we've been together 20yrs and married for 15 of them. There are some things I'd just rather not know about a person.
Oh, someone mentioned food...yup! That would be difficult for me too if I were to enter into a new relationship. I'm not exactly "mainstream" when it comes to my diet and while I don't mind making "comfort food" every once in a while, someone who ate a "southern diet" would be difficult to cook for.
MY Gf & I have talked about our pet peeves but untill you live with someone you can't really know how said thing is going to bother you or how much. I tease her off & on about putting the cap back on the toothpaste! But that's about it I'm a bit neater then she is but that about it. I guess time will tell about other things when we move in together.
Yeah after 6 months I still haven't farted in front of my Gf. I can't let myself do it she thinks it's funny.
My guy and I have been together 3 years, and we don't do this. I think it's something to avoid if you can, no matter how close you are.
I did do it once, only a few weeks into our relationship...and I was soooo embarrassed...I almost died.
Then there is my son, who farts on command.
