  • 1)when we go to bed he likes to chat before sleeping, stupid questions like 'whats your favourite colour?' or 'if you could be anywhere in the world where would it be?' and i just want to sleep!
    2)he does do the cleaning but he never cleans dirt he cant see, eg the grimness under the loo seat, the duvet cover needs changing, theres mould on the tiles etc, if he can see it in his broad line of sight he'll do it but if he can look over it he will
    3)the way im not allowed to pay for builders etc to do DIY in the house as he can do it, but he never does....ever!

    im sure ill think of more!!

    Funny thread!


    1) He has an obsession with security, even though we live in a very safe area with virtually the lowest crime rate in the country. Still, better to be safe than sorry. However, he always locks the front door, does all the bolts and chains and hides the keys - even if we haven't finished outside. So ten times a day I will find myself going upstairs to find the keys and unlocking everything just to grab something from the car/accept a parcel from the postman, etc. It drives me potty - I know security is important but I think it's probably ok to not be in total lock down in the middle of the day when we are both walking around downstairs!

    that reminds me, we once had an almighty argument, cos i gave the MOT garage my whole bunch of keys instead of just the car key, OH thinking that now they have my house key for the next hour and my address and will get a copy cut and rob us! i asked my best mates OH who is mechanic if that is something he used to do just to shame my OH.....syaing that, we'll prob get robbed now!

  • he also use to jerk occasionally in his sleep,didn't do it so much over the last 1-2 years but it use to wake an panic me!There are many times I thought he was having a fit[/QUOTE]

    My hubby does that sometimes, it drives me potty!!!

    When he does it he kicks me in bed, almost rhythmically!!! Every minute or so I either get a boot, or a punch in the back!
    Thinking about it i'm not sure it isn't deliberate!
    And he jumps in his sleep. Wakes us both up, he rolls over and goes back to sleep, I lay there awake for ages!!

  • My OH leaves the last inch of a drink in the cup or glass, then puts it on the side with the washing up without emptying it out. Which wouldn't be so bad if he'd deign to have a washing-up bowl, but noooo, everything has to be washed in the sink.

    He won't throw things out. Especially cables and bits of PC. Then he complains there's nowhere to put anything.

    At night, in bed, he chase-cuddles (I get warm and move away, he follows), so I end up nearly falling out of bed. I happily put up with this though as I think it's mega-cute.

    He gets annoyed that I'm a bit of a messy git - I'll move all the clutter off the coffee table to polish it...then put all the clutter back, and I have a pair of shoes in every room despite having a shoe rack.

    He also gets annoyed that I leave stuff in the sink to soak then get distracted and forget to wash it.

    My insecurities just make him sad!

    Despite this, we're sickeningly in love. Couldn't imagine being without him :)

  • Ooh this could be quite therapeutic ...

    1. He puts plates in the sink with food still on them
    2. He throws cigarette buts wherever he stands i.e. all over the garden and the front of the house (given up NYE so hopefully will stop now)
    3. Drives like a maniac then complains that petrol doesn't last long enough
    4. wears the same pants for at least 2 days (ewch):eek:
    5. wears low-crotch jeans that just look plain silly on a 35 year old man

    Not too bad I suppose, but its only been a year (plus a couple more when we were young) so I guess the list will grow with time lol.

    I would say though that the amount of hair I shed is probably more annoying to him than all of the above added together. All over his new car, in the dinner, even wrapped around his dangly bits :rotfl:
    I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be

    I sympathise, mine does that too. I asked him to get a bucket and fill it with sand over Christmas so he can use that instead of chucking them everywhere but nothing came of it.

    It makes me heave just thinking about it. :mad:
