We all value our partners. The warmth, love and companionship we get from sharing a life with someone is one of the most rewarding things about being human, but living in such close proximity to someone can have its awkward moments too...
Sometimes your beloved can shock you with the dumb things that they say or do. You thought you knew them so well, but we are all capable of the odd brainfart, aren't we?
Someone took to AskReddit recently to ask the question “What’s the dumbest thing your significant other has said or done?,” and it had us all scrolling through suspiciously. She didn't, did she?
Luckily for me, my secret shames are safe for now. The thread quickly went viral as people couldn't resist spilling the beans about 'that time,' and the examples are as baffling as they are hilarious. Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and share your own in the comments!

She believed that the Earth is made of water. She thought you could just swim to the bottom of the ocean and come out on the other side of the freaking planet. That one took a long time to convince her that she had it wrong. Heck, I'm not even certain I have convinced her.

I love my husband but I have watched him empty a vacuum cleaner bag into a wire wastebasket.
I, on the other hand, am frequently unable to remember common words and have to resort to saying things like “The box you put stuff in to make it cold.”

My wife couldn't think of the word "wood," and told me to clean up my "tree chunks."

Ex-girlfriend now, but one time we were talking about changes in taste preferences when she said “taste bugs”.
I corrected her, and she looked at me confused.
She had thought that “taste buds” was “taste bugs” her entire life up until that moment.

One time, my wife (then girlfriend) and I were at her brother’s house for a game night of Cranium.
I don’t remember the exact details (probably because I was in hysterics) but someone asked my wife what caused the US to enter WWII.
Now, my wife is not very history savvy. Probably her least knowledgeable subject. I, on the other hand, loooove history.
Point is, she didn’t know the answer. Her guess was the Boston Tea Party.
I lost my ****, and so did she and everyone else. To this day, if my wife doesn’t know the answer to something, I tell her to write down “Boston tea party.”

“What do you put in carrot cake to make it carrot flavoured? Is it carrot zest?” I’ve never let him live it down!

When my wife gave birth to our oldest daughter the doctor offered to let me cut the umbilical cord. I told him "Surely that's YOUR job."
I had no idea that was a thing.

Tried to make baked potatoes in the microwave for the first time. Wrapped them in tinfoil. Came to ask me why there were lightning bolts in the microwave and why was it getting very hot.

I have a fan with different settings labelled L M H for how fast the fan spins.
She was looking at it and told me she set the fan to 'Large'.
