My DH really irritates me. I know how pathetic my issue sounds in relation to others on here, but I'm becoming very concerned about how irritating I am finding DH.
He has the tendency to perpetually tap all of the time, even when there is no music. When he cuddles me, he taps me, when he holds my hand he picks at my fingernails. He's also started leg shaking when we're having a conversation about something important which really puts me off and twitching his lip.
I've noticed little quirks before, but lately it's been really bothering me. When he wakes in the morning, I can often feel constant tapping sensations where he's picking at something on his body or tapping away whilst I'm trying to relax.
Watching TV, his feet are constantly jittering away in my eye line, or his hands are picing at something.
He's also loud in all he does, particularly first thing in the morning when our neighbours are sleeping in the room next to us, he shouts when he talks and seems to bang around all of the time.
He also gets in both mine and my children's personal space by standing way too close for comfort when we're trying to do something or watching over our shoulders. He doesn't seem to notice annoyance either and it usually transpires into us asking him to go away.
I must sounds really awful here, but his behaviour is really grating on me. I don't know if it's just worsened with age, or whether I'm growing more intolerant of him. Any tips or others in the same boat? I am struggling to be around DH at the moment so supportive advice would be helpful. I think I can be quite intolerant, but this stuff is really imposing on my enjoyment of life in the home with DH. Help.
