There are instances that partners tend to go overboard on their requests when they ask each other to change something about themselves. It could be because they don't understand the other or they are just downright dense of a situation.
These requests can lead to one finding out the true colors of their partner and if not addressed, stem into a path towards toxic relationships. Now some may think that a request is normal until they hear the fault in it from others.
A Redditor posted a question for women to answer in the subreddit, AskWomen. This question delved into what is the most ridiculous thing their partners asked to change of them.
Tons of comments poured in and ranged from issues about pets to relatively serious issues. There were answers that would just make you think if their partners are that clueless or are they joking.
A lot commented under certain posts how they were dealbreakers and compared them to other answers. This post had its bad side but the positive side is that women were supporting other women and opened the eyes of those who are still dealing with the consequences of the posted requests.
