To be annoyed at DH for having an opinion on everything I do?

DH is a know-all at the best of times.

I am so annoyed with him at the moment as he always, always has an opinion on everything that I do, and offers it unasked-for, with "tips" on how I can improve next time, or what I should/ought to do.

When I got offered my current job when I phoned to tell him instead of being happy for me he started telling me that I should approach my boss before I started the job and tell him I wanted more commission than they were paying! When I was already happy with the money offered and hadn't asked DH for any advice.

He offers constant "tips" on the fitness activities that I do, despite being extremely unfit and never doing any exercise himself.

And lastly, the thing that pisses me off the most; he never lifts a finger in the house yet has opinions all the time on how things should be done. He's just phoned me now from work and told me that I really need to sort out the understairs cupboard this week and started telling me what I should do. I said he can do it himself and put the phone down! Nothing I ever do is good enough; he always has suggestions on improving everything I cook, suggestions on how I can clean better, suggestions on how to be "better organised" to get more housework done. Yet does NOTHING himself.

I am so cross!

Is he a Libra? Grin

No I think he's just a wanker.

YANBU! he sounds controlling and patronising. just remember that you are not doing anything wrong and dont let him ruin your confidence. he has a problem, not you.

So he is a fat lazy slob who does f all and constantly critisizes you and ignores your feelings? Just waiting for you to list his good points......any time now......on you go.......

I would get a recording of that excruciatingly annoying Harry Enfield character "you don't want to do it like that, you want to do it like this" on your phone and let it off loudly every time he starts. That should make a clear point!!

Practise saying this

"Fuck off you bastarding puss ridden cock wobbling fuck face arse wipe"

Should solve the issue

You called? Badumtush.

Op I think you need to fast forward in your mind for the rest of your life and decide right now whether you want this to continue.

Criticism is aok if you've asked for it, but constant chipping away will fell a mountain.

He sounds abusive and thoughtless at the very least.
If he's lazy to boot I'd get rid.

Write some of the 'helpful' comments he spouts down, put them in the yellow container from inside a kinder egg and hand it to him along with a tub of Vaseline. Point him in the direction of the bathroom and tell him where to shove them. That should illustrate your point in a memorable way. If it doesn't, LTB.
