    oooo, this has got me scared! I am in the process of moving in with my OH, at the moment he is the perfect housemate, clean, tidy, a good cook etc. He has stupidly hidden my xmas presents in the cleaning cupboard too so I cannot even get to the hoover :D
    Did all these men start out this way? Or did they change? My OH has lived on his own or with friends for the past 10 years so he is very self sufficient. We are slowly getting into a routine, he loves cooking so he does most of the evening meals, I sort the dishwasher (he tends to use every pot, pan, plate etc) and we both clean and tidy. Will this just be the honeymoon period??

    Possibly not - my husband lived on his own for several years too. He does all of the ironing for us,unless it's a dress of mine he's afraid of ruining, all of the tidying, will happily ring me to see if we need milk whilst he's on his way home, and does all of the vacuuming.

    We've been married 4 years :D

    Good luck!

  • Is it just me or do other women suffer from husbanditis!!!!!!!!

    When I cook a meal, it doesn't matter how much I enjoy it, he always finds faults.

    He thinks I am lazy and just sit and watch jezza kyle all day, in fact I attend college three times a week having to push a double buggy up hill a mile either way. I do all the laundry, cooking, cleaning, look after kids(2 and 9 mths), deal with finances and trying to get my essays done on time the list goes on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Why does he think he's always right and won't listen to me when he's not.

    Men can't live with or without them .........just call me supermum

    What is dislike about men is

    They have ranting mood swings and it is OK but if we have them, we are a hysterical mess

    They don't see where they go wrong (when they do) and argue to the death about it. Eventually they realise their error but cause so much aggro in the meantime.

    Both big turn offs!

    He can't write cept in uppercase so take pity on the uneducated:D

    I am at home all day and I can't stand Kyle or Trisha or anything like that. This Morning, gives a lot of tips for cooking and jobs around the house, so like a housework lecture.

    Another thing I dislike is men think a week is 5 days, whereas in real life a week is 7 days.

  • Maybe all you women might want to actually do something about your so-called-men rather than just b*tching about it? How about telling them when you've been p*ssed off by their actions?
