Things your partner/DH does that irritates you

[terracottafarm]

I'll go first, he will walk past the clean washing folded on the stairs. Leave his clothes on the end of the bed and will not put them away for days at a time. Picks his FEET

My dh too. That's bad enough but he never thinks to check if I'm still there. Just presumes I'm following him like a dog. It's really stressful weaving through a crowd. I sometimes intentionally stop or go a different direction just to make the point.

Oh god and he does the sighing thing too! And the walking a yard ahead of everyone. And the leaving clothing near the laundry basket so I have no idea if it's clean or for the wash.
Are all men the same person?

Oh and he often completely zones out whilst food shopping or in a park with the kids or anything he finds boring.
Sometimes I just stand completely still not doing anything until he realises and says 'what's going on?'
I resent having to always take the lead like I don't also find it boring.. like I just love buying groceries or paint or making appointments or whatever

Doesn’t plug my phone charger back in after using it! Or sometimes - even more annoyingly, plugs it back in but turns it off at the wall!!! Drives me insane. Also puts one of his pillows on my side - every night. Instead of just taking it off the bed completely. Spoke to him about it this evening and when I came up to bed both my phone charger was unplugged and the damn pillow was on my side again 😂.

Ex-p everything really. But also used to spend forever watching trailers of things on streaming services before actually choosing something. Even worse it we'd actually chose something ahead of time he'd still want to "just check out" a bazillion different things. Then he'd get annoyed if I didn't have the attention span to pay as much attention to whatever we landed on as he did.

He'd do the same with the play station game store. We didn't have money for new games, just pick one of the games we already bastarding have!!!

He was a serial complainer that I never wanted to spend time with him and he could not put two and two together.

😂

Talks almost non stop during EastEnders.

Re- boil’s the kettle after just boiling it because ‘his forgotten’ if its boiled or not even if i tell him its just boiled

Swishes Tea around in his mouth

Says he wasn't asleep and wasn't snoring when he was (Asleep on couch)

Use to drink straight out the milk carton (I put a stop to that as soon as we moved in together) Disgusting!

Breathe… but that’s why he’s an ex partner 😂

He talks too much. It’s most annoying when we’re watching TV. I don’t want to hurt his feelings but sometimes I just want to tell him to shut the fuck up. 🙄

Walks faster than me and thinks I should jog alongside him rather than he slow down.

Makes a mess then doesn't see it

Doesn't acknowledge the mental load

Doesn't see the point in keeping on top of house cleaning

Is so slow to complete any task

Gets tooth paste on the mirrors

Little hairs everywhere when he shaves/trims

Oh got the 'what' thing really winds me up! Like pay attention you are not five years old!!

Is a light sleeper. When I get up in the dark (most usually to crying kids), I can't turn any light on at all he'll wake up and start groaning or moaning about it, even the light from the hallway because "it shines right on his eyes" though he's metres from it and it's out a doorway and his eyes are closed. So I stumble about in the cold and dark looking for socks or a jersey. If I get up to the kids on his sleep-in day, he'll later comment how loud they've been though they're right down the other end of the house behind 2 closed doors.

If he's a light sleeper he can get up and deal with the kids as soon as he hears them. Leave him to it!

Fuck. There's a lot to be said for living on your own.

Reminders every 30 seconds of whatever ailment he is suffering with on each given day.
Tells me he didn't sleep - somehow was asleep every time I woke!
Tea towels are a common theme here but they end up on the sofa on any given day I can find several when I'm putting the daily wash together.
Has so many wonderful positives though but I do loose it sometimes especially when he seems to develop all my ailments too (he had stomach ache a few minutes after me the other week when my stomach was hurting from my period I asked if he had his period too)

My husband gets on my tits, lightheartedly, in lots of ways. However, the thing that irrationally makes me angry is that he will ask for a 'whet' of my drink. Now I don't mind sharing my drink but him asking for a 'whet' of it makes me incredibly stabby.

He never puts this away that he got out.
Never does jobs properly like, says he's emptied the bin but that will only be the one bin, doesn't think to do that bathroom one.
He drinks juice and doesn't wipe the sticky mess up of the side,
Has a bath doesn't wash it out,
Spits out the toothpaste and doesn't wash it away.
I could go on lol. 😂

When I'm watching something on TV or reading a book he will sit reading the news on his phone and then start talking in detail about something he's seen. Or he'll be doing exercises and then start going on and on about what each exercise is and how it affects the body. It's so boring. Then he is in a sulk because I don't reply enthusiastically.

I have a loud crisp eater too.

Also, cannot give a straightforward answer to any question about time. When is dinner going to be ready? Soon or not long. Ask what time he’s leaving to go somewhere and he’ll say ‘early’ or ‘I need to pick up X at Y time’ which isn’t what I asked!

Wanders off from behind me while I’m talking to him in a shop and leaves me talking to myself.

Rubbish at judging what he should and shouldn’t tell me about. Once forgot to tell me his friend was coming to stay from overseas and apparently didn’t think it was weird that we hadn’t had any conversations about it.

Ugh there are so many!! Wiping his mouth with the bathroom towel after brushing his teeth, snoring, using tea towels to mop up spills. He leaves things outside all the time and then it rains on them. Crumbs on the sideboard, leaves the butter out, throws dirty dishes into the sink instead of the dishwasher. He also does exaggerated yawns but the worst ones are... not listening and talking over people 😡

To be fair you should turn phone chargers off when you’re not using them.

Drinks my tea as well as his own moving my mug around because he cant compute what colour his mug is
leaves cupboards open
leaves the fridge opsn while hes doing other stuff
throws socks out of bed onto carpet
walks ahead of or into me pushing me to the side
snores and stupid poooofffff noises too and says he wasnt even asleep
lists all the chores he has in his head to me constantly

Leaves drawers and cupboard doors open.

Very loud sneezes.

Asks me questions in situations where I have the exact same information as him to work with.

E.g. We were out in a town we’d never been to before, and walked into a cafe we'd therefore never been in. He immediately asks me ‘do we wait here to be seated or find a table?’ And then as soon as we’ve sat down ‘is it table service or do we go to the bar to order?’.

I now just say ‘I don’t know.’

If I point out that I am in the exact same position of ignorance as him he will say, without fail, ‘I was just wondering out loud’.
