Ok bit of a rant!

My husband has this really annoying habit of giving orders…..

eg, he is standing in kitchen, and there is leftovers from lunch. He says they need to go in fridge. Why tell ME?? Just DIY!

eg2. Wood burner. Logs on, burning nicely. “The vents need shutting”
He is sat equidistant from me….DIY!

eg3. “I ordered xx, have you checked the postbox recently?” No. Go look in it!!

argh! Also we are going on holiday on Friday. I got the cases out, mine is packed. He hasn’t even started…..

lol x
happy new year 🥳

No, but DH says I'm like that.
But most people surely won't pack a week in advance?

I'd just reply, 'oh yes, thanks for doing that darling' and wander off...

Yes, all men are exactly the same. There's a factory churning them out somewhere

No, mine does not have a clue what needs to be done but is very good at executing orders. I have accepted that if I instruct him as a five year old, he is very helpful. We are both managers at work, but it’s like at home he has zero agency.

Numbers 1 & 2. 'yes, they do' & walk off or continue doing whatever you were doing.

Number 3. 'No I haven't' & walk off or continue doing whatever you were doing.

Not all like that. Mine just leaves everything out for someone else to deal with. Doesn't bark orders, just is gone before you realise, and if asked to do something, ever - watch out. So I actually sympathise with your DH. I have a tendency to just say out loud what needs doing, it doesn't mean it's an order since I know I'll be doing it myself anyway.
