AIBU to want to stab my husband for his compulive behaviour?

[Tewkespeggy]

for instance my dd bought a beaded curtain for her doorway that he HATED. do he put up tiebacks so that he could have them permanently open. DD picked up on that and wants them opem, but with one strand down the middle so she can have an in and out door.... me, i want them closed because otherwise whats the point in having them!

You can tell which person in the house last walked by....

I love him but he does this sort of thing all the time... its his way or no way... dont even get me started on laminate flooring...my keyboard would explode!

lol! fame at last!

What's he done that drives you insane? Putting ties so that it doesn't obstruct your daughter's door? She seems to be fine with it.

So what's the issue then?

didnt realise 'i want to stab my husband' was a normal expression!

I was about to say that YABU and need some serious professional help... 'I want to stab someone' is normal?! Where do you live??? I never want to go there!

YABU anyway because marriages are mostly about rising above petty annoyances like this (you have some yourself, you know) and seeing the bigger picture. Who really cares about door beads?

Why can't you just both leave the curtain alone and let your daughter choose how to have it.
Yes, "both" applies to you. "i want them closed because otherwise whats the point in having them!" is so pointlessly controlling.

Oh for goodness' sake! Nobody's going to stab anybody. OP is frustrated with her DH making a big fuss out of a small issue, and is exaggerating the extent of her irritation for comic effect. The whole point of dangly bead curtains is to dangle, surely. I agree that it should be DD's choice, though.

OP, I gather he's getting on your nerves in a variety of ways, through small irritations. That's normal. It's what happens when people share territory. Unless he's actually a twat and you're going to leave him, you just have to take a deep breath and think about his good points. And maybe have a whinge on here/to a friend.

Can you lay the laminate flooring with him underneath it? A mini-steamroller might help.

I don't think some of you would approve of my user name

OP I wouldnt stab, its too easy to get caught out with DNA etc

Push him down the stairs - can easily be disguised as an accident and you'll be able to claim on his insurance

But would anyone really stab thier husbands ffs?

you've not heard many DV debates then? Many many women stab their husbands, and burn them, and hit them with irons, the list goes on.....

thank you girls for making me laugh... i know that i was being unreasonable

I don't think some of you would approve of my user name

Yes. Change it to fluffyfluffyhunhun. Now.

No

Anyway, relates to my EX so I think that means I'm allowed

i think where domestic violence is involved its a wee bit different to a childish argument over beaded curtains
