Love isn't blind for me, but it's not arrogant either. I know that the people who love me have to put with my flaws and I'm happy to do the same in turn. In fact, knowing and mocking each others' flaws is often how we show affection and is the source for a lot of laughs (not a sensitive bunch).
But, I have loved a couple of people (non-family) whose flaws were truly lifestyle and stability ruiners; those haven't been overlooked or celebrated. Those types of "flaws" instead resulted in offering help and disengaging until/unless the situation changed.

I don't think you're happy in your present relationship.

Lately my husband has been taking the blanket and wrapping it around himself so tightly that I can barely cover my feet. I have to cuss him out in the middle of the night just to get my half back. I'm not sure if this is something he's always done and I was just blinded by love, but I'm getting really pissed and won't ignore it any longer.

Get your own blanket. Problem solved!
Not being snarky, but there's no reason you have to share a blanket just because it looks nicer on the bed that way.

Odd advice from someone who has a username including ex.

I don't take the blanket, I take his pillow and I don't take it gently, I rip it out from under his head & throw it across the room. I've been doing it for years now. I don't know why I do it & I don't always know I've done it unless the act of throwing it wakes me up.

Life is much too short to be stuck in an unhappy relationship even if there are children involved.

I am a cuddler. Got a king bed so he'd have more room and he still wakes up with me wrapped around him and 1⁄2 his butt hanging off the side.

better to be from a broken home than to live in one.

Love is blind for me, but only for a short period of time. I have a zero bullshit policy and I'm a stickler about it. I will bring up the annoying habits and if you keep fucking doing them, when you know that it annoys me, I'm gonna get super pissed super fast and you will need to leave my presence. How many times do you need to be told that I'm not going to explain a movie or tv show to you if you're not paying attention? Sit the fuck down, shut the fuck up and pay attention or leave.
Just shut up. Just shut the fuck up right now.

I get annoyed by someone who gets annoyed so easily.

I think that's a different five-letter "B-word" she's thinking of.

How's that working out for you?

When one narrows one's tolerance to minor annoyance like ice narrows a mountain trail, eventually the weary traveler finds that way frozen and impassable and will choose a different route.
