I know I sound horrible. I know I’ll get lots of hate saying leave him the poor man but I know a lot of women feel the same. I love him but he just gets on my nerves anyone feel the same? Give me stories / things your husbands do that grate on you like a fork on a brick wall. 😂 I know I sound vile. I’m honestly not, just ughhhhh shudder.

A friend at lunch randomly said of her husband ‘ I think Vincent is …. Really stupid’

I must admit I struggled to see the love. I guess marriage is a curates egg!

Why does a lack of intelligence equal a lack of goodness. There are people who aren't that bright, but are caring, hard working, loving, and loyal.

I also don't think id love my partner more if they were smarter, so why should I suppose I'd love them less if they were more foolish.

I was on a male oriented site years ago. They said worse than this.

Sad isn't .? Big dollop of tolerance needed all round. Live and let live

Ohh my husband generally is very unannoying, but there’s a few key ones that annoy me

hes very handy and naturally good at things (sports, music, talking to people etc). I am not. He cannot understand this and think I’m not ‘trying’. Prob something we’ve had our biggest rows about
he thinks he’s tidier then me. He is not. We will both die on this hill
Has to sleep with the TV on. Drives me MAD

apart from that, he’s a bloody good man!

Gettingbysomehow · 29/08/2026 15:47

I hated all three of them. There will not be a 4th.

And the snoring…makes me wonder whether I would get caught if I suffocated him with my pillow.

But then I wouldn’t get the absolute gems such as ‘I remembered our anniversary just after midnight but I didn’t want to say happy anniversary in case you wanted to have sex with me’ 😂🤣 so I let him live.

The one thing that really irritates me is his snoring. I know he can't help it but it's loud, it's incessant and it just sounds gross.

Thank you. I'm sure the men on this site could " ditto" quite easily ...for instance ...why does she need soooo many different types of half finished shampoo bottles in the bathroom so I have to search for hours to find my one deoderant ????? Just saying....

When I read posts like this with that random "I love him" in the midst of all the loathing I wonder what posters think love means? To me "I love him" can't really coexist with "I can't stand him". The latter goes way beyond the usual minor annoyances.

If you really can't stand someone you shouldn't be in a relationship with them. If you choose to be in a relationship with someone then tolerating their various habits is the bare minimum.

I'm not judging anybody for the gripes they express here, goodness knows in the run-up to my divorce I couldn't bear to be in the same room as my ex-dh, I do, however, think when it's at the point where these irritations get to you it's (the relationship) is done.

Ive Just had my 4th and bought a book called 'How to not hate your husband after kids' highly recommend it actually.
Alot of it pissed me off, seems in bits like it's justifying their behaviour due to evolution and how they are naturally wired but it has helped my understanding and own communication, I'm definitely more direct now and get better results.

Your fourth husband? Or fourth kid lol

Small kids is really hard, but wait til you get to menopause. Him just walking in the room will have you ready to dig up the patio 😂😂

Me and my DH have a rule now. 😆
If one of us is cooking, (for instance my DH) then first he make a cuppa for us and then ban me from the kitchen whilst he cooks, or else I will get under his feet. And vice versa when I cook, he pisses off and leaves me be.

It has solved a lot of tediousness 💯

Love this thread BTW, glad to see I'm not the only one who wants to smother a snorer/loud breather with a pillow at times 😆🤣 😂 @omgcomeon

Oh and....he didn't get up until ten mins ago. That in itself pissed me right off 😂

It must be nice not having any serious problems in life.

Love DH, but this morning he has really got on my fucking nerves it isn't even 10:00 AM yet.

in no particular order these are the things he has done so far to annoy me:

Made a huge mess in the kitchen when making pancakes for the children's breakfast.

Told me we are almost of milk- he was in a supermarket yesterday.

Put a load of white laundry in with his dark stuff with out any qualms at all he was trying to be "helpful "

Asked what's for dinner tonight, as he didn't really fancy what's on the meal plan tonight.

DH will be sorting out all of the above. He will be cooking or buying everyone a take away tonight he can fuck off if he thinks I am sorting any of this out!

Meanwhile I am sat in the coffee shop enjoying a coffee and a cake reading my book and I don't intend to walk slowly home until lunch time.

You're a saint for putting up with him, a true saint! 😂

Viviennemary · 29/08/2026 14:56

I think it's really easy to go off people (even husbands) when you have to be with them most of the time. All their faults are magnified a thousandfold.

ShutupLwren · 29/08/2026 14:49

I adore my partner. He is absolutely my soul mate if such a thing exists.
We share the load, we have hobbies we enjoy together, mutual respect and we fancy each other. Things are terrific most of the time.

But sometimes for absolutely no reason other than we have small children and I’m overwhelmed I’d love him to fuck off for a few hours and leave me alone. I’m sure he thinks it too. I can’t help it. Poor fucker does absolutely nothing wrong but I just think I’d like him to breathe in a different space than mine for a bit 😂

My husband drives me insane. Especially when I’m in the kitchen trying to cook, he’ll come and make a coffee with his massive elaborate coffee machine, spill stuff, get in the way, stand in front of drawers I need in.

it’s a rule now we can’t eat in silence, we need music or something. Because the noise of him eating makes me want to strangle him.

I get you, you love him, but husbands are fucking annoying. The same way it would be spending that amount of time with anyone I imagine!

I feel your pain. My DH had a habit of emptying the kitchen bin when I'm cooking until I banned him.
I think he thought he was doing a helpful thing.

Lentilcakes · 29/08/2026 14:40

He annoyed me the morning because he said ‘I’ve got a new Alexa which is an upgrade and more like AI’ then he proceeded to ask it something in which the old Alexa answered in tandem. Ffs - he’s obsessed w tech/gadgets and I’d be happy for most of it to get in the bin!!

SapphireSeptember · 29/08/2026 14:34

I'm glad I'm single. DS annoyed me this morning by biting his toothbrush so I couldn't brush his teeth, pulling my hair and trying to escape halfway through me changing his dirty nappy. I'm on my period as well, and feel poorly. Happy days. (At least it's raining, that's making me happy! Not actually sarcasm.)

Missingmymeds · 29/08/2026 10:39

Mine ..had this habit of eating salt and vinegar crisps in bed with ketchup to dip in.
It upset me so much I often ended up in tears ... despite me asking him not to ,he carried on eating in bed .
So as I am the only person who ventures in to a supermarket
I just stopped buying anything he ate in bed
We got as far as never having bread in the house , before he realised every time he ate in bed I didn't buy the food items again..
We got there in the end ...

Ooh that would make me murderous! Well done on sorting it out!

Ahahahhaaa made me laugh - yous actually discussed this and agreed a solution to the sound of him eating 😂 😂 😂

AnnoyedAsAllHeck · 29/08/2026 14:13

If they were doing it anonymously, why would I care? He could show it to me and I would laugh my ass off.

My DH annoys me to no end at times. I KNOW I annoy him at times because I annoy myself. But he is my guy and if someone said something mean about him in public, there would be words at the very least and once, there was. LOL!

He totally has my back and I totally have his and I am one lucky lady. But, if he slugs me one more time as he tosses and turns, his CPAP machine won't save his cute little ass!

He keeps me around because I make him laugh. A lot. I keep him around because he melts my heart. A lot.

Show quote history

Fair enough, we all have different things that would upset us.

DH regularly tells me I drive him mad when I do X or Y (and I do the same for him) but I do think that's different to saying you can't stand your partner and don't even want to be in the same room as them.

MIne goes all round the houses when he's explaining something. I often want to shout 'just get to the fucking point'
Instead I usually drift off and miss the point anyway 🤣

Yes, I still have to tell my VDH that I want the Reader's Digest condensed version when he starts to make a saga out of a trip to Starbucks.
