To ask what they have to put up with?

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

There are always threads bashing the DPs/DHs/DWs and all the irritating things they do. So what does your OH have to put up with that you do?

My DP has to put up with me tickling him all the time. It especially annoys him because I'm not ticklish so he can't get me back. He also puts up with popcorn in the bed from when we have watched a film and I have missed my mouth. Poor guy. Never hardly ever complains about it.

I mess around with the kids making noise when DH has gone to bed and wants to sleep.
I have the light on to read when DH wants to sleep.
I whinge that DH doesn't sort darks from whites when washing - and then whinge about grey whites.
I whinge when DH leaves crumbs on the counter.
I whinge when DH uses whatever is in reach for whatever job he wants, regardless of its real purpose or if it is destroyed by his task.
I tease him when he is grumpy.
I am grumpy when tired.

I drink far too much wine. I never admit I'm wrong. I refuse to do as I'm told. I will NEVER get up on a morning if I don't have to so he always makes the kids breakfast on a weekend (my argument is they are old enough to get their own cereal)

I am a terrible complication of accident prone and an easy bruiser. DH has to be seen in public with me bruised and put up with thoroughly inaccurate assumptions.

Oh, and if I know I am right on a topic, I will not let it go.

*I'm a pita
*I'm fucking fussy about my food
*I'm fairweather on what I like - yes, slap my arse today NODONTSLAPMYARSE
*I cry at the drop of a hat
*I moult like a cat in summer
*I don't about My Feelings, I'd prefer to stew like the child I am

Also

*I need to plan to the Nth degree
*I'm a complete control freak
*I drink wine like it's lifegiving
*I also pre-plan stuff. Like, I've already decided what his birthday present will be (in 6months time)

I am forgetful, poor DP has to remind me of appointments, conversations, our anniversary

I am overly critical, a control freak, and too quick to temper. He puts up with a lot bless him!

SheDone, I'm a stewer. I will silently seethe about something that DP has usually hasn't done and expect him to just know why I am pissed off.

My DH is quite lovely so I have been very unreasonable towards him when I..... Each time I've been pregnant, before I've realised that I am (3x), I've gone on a hormonal rampage where I can't physically bear the sight of him, and thrown him out of the house for no reason at all. Once he's gone, I then start thinking, and thinking a bit more, and then wonder if I'm premenstrual, and then realise my period is late - and then call him and say "I think I'm pregnant, I'm sorry.... Please come home with some pregnancy tests". Three whole times this has happened!'. He always comes back with the tests, and we ended each day absolutely delighted 😍

mygorgeousmilo, at least you ended the day happy.

Oh, I'm a total nightmare.

Untidy, unwilling to call local tradesmen to arrange appointments, anti - social with bizarre British behaviour, I moan all the time, I'm always tired... I say I'll meal plan but don't.... I could go on.

I'm Christmas obsessed! I get ridiculously excited about it. Poor guy's birthday is in December. I have told him I won't wait till after his birthday to get excited about Christmas but I do make sure his birthday is Christmas free.

His family like to go on holiday over Christmas and ask when we will be joining them. I've told him never because I like to be at home and have a traditional Christmas each year. He has accepted my lack of flexibility very well.

Poor DP.
He's a neat freak, DS's and I are anarchic chaos monsters. Doesn't understand why I think it's fun to let the kids scoot in the living room or paint my feet instead of a picture.
I love squeezing his spots which he hates, and I bring home pets without asking him but refuse to let him have a dog. All in all I think he's lucky to have me

I just asked DP - I've been told nothing much except the hair that ends up matted with conditioner in the shower plug hole and has to be cleaned out in a weekly basis by DP

My DP's hair ends up all over the shower every fucking day! But my hair is longer and therefore gets caught so drain blocking is all my fault apparently.

I criticise a lot and interfere when he's cooking. Since Kondoing I also complain if he folds his socks or pants incorrectly! He calls me Monica.

Pregnancy moods.

I'm really flaky about paperwork.

I often forget to rinse the bath after using it.

I'm sure there's more

I get annoyed that he doesn't speak Swedish to me enough so after 5 yrs here I can still barely speak it. But when he tries to speak Swedish I get arsey and speak back in English.

We have a recliner sofa so DH sits with his legs bent up. He always wears shorts in the house and everytime I go past him I slap the side of his knee.
When I walking past him the other way I hit him on the head with my dressing gown belt. If Im not wearing my dressing gown I knock his head 3 times instead.
He just ignores the fact that I do it.

My DP puts up with a lot that I do.
He suffers as much as I do with my mental health issues, I worry about things and they need rectifying right at that moment.

He is a morning person. I am a night owl. I don't want to get out of bed at 5:30- I have to for work, and he wants to be in bed by 9pm. 9pm I come awake, and want to clean the house.

He also puts up with my complete black and white thinking. Where I love people. Hate people. Worry about hating people. So I love them again. Then decide to hate them again in a short amount of time.

He puts up with my Cleaning product obsession....when I first left home, for a good few years I'd often find myself in the laundry detergent aisle looking for the very cheapest way of getting my washing done because j quite literally could just not afford it...I'd go home with my prize of about 10 asda liquitabs for about £1.40 and figure out what I could wash....nowadays I collect washing stuff. I've got 2 huge bottles of person, a surf and some formil from lidl...I do this with most cleaning products and he allows it. He thinks it's crazy that I pick up so many cleaning products I don't need, but he now understands. And he doesn't complain

He's a good one

I'm horribly grumpy in the morning, I grumble about EVERYTHING when I wake up
I don't make nice coffee (I'm a tea drinker)
I sometimes forget to change the date on the calendar which is unforgivable

But other than that I'm a constant delight

I am very tidy and organised. He, on the other hand, does not follow my colour-coded pegging and item-categorisation system when putting out the washing. Nor does he follow my fridge system. This has led to many occasions of me pulling faces and muttering under my breath.

You have a colour-coded pegging and item categorisation system?

"throwing shit about in a temper"

I thought it was monkeys in zoos who did that.

Yes, of course! All socks and teatowels must be together on the line, shirts, and so on. And one should not use different colours of peg to hang up the same item...obviously...mumbles under breath
