Cohabitating with a partner can be difficult even if you’ve been together for many years, like Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, who tied the knot in 1996.
People have different habits and different standards of living, and clashing over things like how to load the dishwasher correctly is inevitable.

On Friday’s episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, an argument came to a head after Ripa called out Consuelos for previously shaming her for a habit that he now partakes in as well.
After chatting about a study that found that people who eat cheese are less likely to suffer from sleep apnea, Ripa said her husband should have cheese before bed. He responded that they should have cheese next to their bed, “on either side of our bed.”
Ripa then parried back that they wouldn’t be doing that “because that’s eating in the bed” before pointing out that “one of us shamed the other one of us for eating in the bed…for the first 28 years of our marriage.”
“I shamed you?” Consuelos asked as Ripa responded in the affirmative with her arms crossed across her chest, reminding him that when she would eat “everything” in bed he’d tell her “that’s disgusting.”
“And then you took up eating the peanut butter and the jellies in the bed and then it was fine to eat in bed,” she continued.
“I love a peanut butter and jelly!” he proclaimed, as Ripa looked on.
Though this is far from the first time the duo has lovingly butted heads on their talk show, they also regularly gush about each other. In November, Ripa revealed that her phone background was a picture of Consuelos with very little clothing.
