"  Another fiscal year is coming to an end, and for many cubicle dwellers, that means one thing: performance reviews.\u00A0While receiving professional feedback from your boss is a great way to hear about how everyone in the office thinks you&amp;#039;re a rock star (like you didn&amp;#039;t already know), it can also be a way to get some more constructive criticism. After all, the people you work with are just that: co-workers. Giving and receiving feedback should be done formally, professionally and without even a hint of an eye roll.\u00A0 But what about the other people in your life, like your significant other or spouse? Jennifer Breheny Wallace wrote an essay for the Wall Street Journal suggesting we provide feedback for them as well. She says the reviews she gives her husband are &amp;quot;a handy way to air minor grievances&amp;quot; and that the items on the agenda &amp;quot;run the gamut from petty complaints, like laundry on the floor, to important goals, like setting time alone as a couple.&amp;quot; Silly me, I thought that&amp;#039;s what conversations were for. Wallace has been so pleased with how the reviews have worked out for her marriage that she has extended this system to close family and friends.\u00A0 But after some reported flakiness regarding scheduling a dinner with one of these pals, the friend reportedly said to Wallace, &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t think this won&amp;#039;t come up in your review.&amp;quot; Sounds like a real fun friendship filled with laughter, understanding, and kindness. Personally, I don&amp;#039;t want to be getting the kind of feedback that I get from my boss from someone who sees me naked on a regular basis. That feels wrong. But what do you think? Would you ever review your loved ones? Photo Credit: Getty Images "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
