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. Grin

I thought I was picky about matching colours. Grin

Same as others with the long hair thing and moulting.
I like to host get togethers and drag him into organising and prepping.
I make him leave the house and do nice things.
I leave stuff everywhere but also moan that he doesn't do housework, when he does do housework I moan he hasn't done it properly.
I usually make him drive if we're both going out.
I make him sit on the chair so I can stretch my legs out on the settee.
I love Christmas and decorations, he doesn't and gets cross when I buy even more baubles.
I try to pop any spots he has.
I correct his grammar and pronunciation.
Hmm I didn't realise how annoying I am Blush

I am SO GRUMPY when hungry/tired and recently burst into tears when I was hungry and tired and we were in the pub and he said he was going to get another Blush

I am obsessed with time. He quite comically yells in mock horror "there's no time... time TIME...... tick tock" I can't abide being late or getting somewhere last minute. He prefers to piss about and then rush like a crazy person to get himself ready (whilst I have organised my self, the house a three year old and a two year old) it drives me mad. However I know me saying "we need to leave at 10 and no later" every 5 minutes from 8 probably drives him batty.

I also never put lids back on and instead balance them on. He picks things up by the lid so I often hear a crash followed by "fucks sake Mrsantithetic put the fucking lids on"
Oh and I clean up as he is using stuff. So if he is making himself scrambled egg and puts the spoon down he goes for it and it's already in the sink. Or he will get his shoes out to put on and pop to the loo first, come back shoes are in the cupboard again.

I also expect him to mind read me and my expectations which are extremely precise. But not consistent.

I would leave me. I do my own head in God knows how he hasn't suffocated me in my sleep

Mrs, tell him the wrong time that he needs to be ready by. Works for DP. Grin
