Thank you for putting up with me!

Think of the person/people who you're closest to. Doesn't have to be your mate/significant other, but I imagine your spouse/lover/significant other would be the easiest target.

What are some of the biggest things you feel you "put up with" about other people, and that you feel they should be grateful to you for?

Alternatively, what are some things you feel you're most grateful about people putting up with you?

===============================================
I'm grateful that people close to me put up with my whining, and incessant/obsessive cleaning when I should be spending quality time with them. I also have a tendancy to butt into people's conversations that I don't realize until much later that it may not have been appropriate at the time.
For the most part, I'm deeply relieved my friends seem to see past this and keep me hanging around anyhow.

The biggest thing I feel I "put up with" is when a certain someone acts nonchalantly around my apartment as if he's a guest, when he visits my place more than enough to justify him being just as responsible for the upkeep as myself or my roommate.

for example (warning, a bit of ANGST here):

For example, when my roommate and I had our "move-in house-warming party" at our apartment, he got up off the couch for a total of 3 occasions: to take pictures with friends (my guests), to get food, and to go to the restroom. I on the other hand, was being myself: cleaning, taking out the trash, doing dishes, catering to people, cooking, etc.
I'm normally okay with this (those of you whom I met at the meet should know, this doesn't bother me at all) except for the fact that:
- 20 people had come and gone through my apartment from noon to midnight
- I've been everyone's personal waitress the entire time
- I've been up since the break of dawn trying to get the place ready for the party
- he's been there the entire day.
I understand that I'm a crazy OCD cleaning lady when there's a lot of people around, but considering that he comes over enough times, it would have been nice to have been asked once if he could offer to do dishes or trash at some point. Several guests have offered to help at certain points, but he didn't ask once. (And yes, this is the boyfriend I'm talking about). Somehow, I feel that's messed up.
