After 4 years together he still only brings me a fork when he cooks (which is rare in itself)...surely by now he should know that I use a knife as well as a fork to eat?
Every single time I have to ask for a knife and every single time he huffs and puffs about itGrin Tut.

The most frustrating thing is that DH does know stuff but keeps on doing it! We've been together over 16 years, married for over 15, but when we've had words he STILL says "Sorry I mentioned it" - it isn't that he mentions something, it's the way he says it! And he should know to apologise for what he's actually done, not deliberately miss the point & say sorry for something that I wasn't even picking him up on! Drives me crackers!

Married 21 years.. I Do not like the colour black Please dont buy me black things I dont like it.. (i get black things)

Atthebottomofthegarden · 23/06/2017 23:29

I think you are ALL married to my DH.

Apart from possibly at 6am on Saturday. And to be fair, he can make a decent gravy...

CotswoldStrife · 23/06/2017 23:33

I seem to be sharing my DH with a few other MNetters ... what is it with the fork thing?! Or maybe it's because he knows I'm not safe around sharp objects when he leaves items ON TOP of a bin (eg laundry or kitchen) if it has a flat lid Angry We have a dome-shaped kitchen bin for this reason.

When a bin is full, it requires emptying. Putting smaller bags of rubbish near the full bin is not emptying it (Ben Elton called these bags 'satellites'). This has been mostly eliminated by long-term shouting training Halo

GreeboIsACutePussPuss · 23/06/2017 23:35

how to shut up, even if its just for 5 minutes. I've had a rough day, I just want to watch eastenders on iplayer and he keeps asking me questions and commenting on anything that happens, he doesn't even like eastenders, I'm pretty sure hes just doing it to wind me up now.

No gravy with roast dinner!! HmmShock

Lexieblue · 23/06/2017 23:39

Oh forgot another one...when I'm watching a programme with him I don't need a running translation of why something is funny (even PAUSING the bastard thing to explain) or for interesting side notes on plot (We are watching the same bloody thing you annoying git!)

Love him really

tigercub50 · 23/06/2017 23:48

TV is another one - when DH is watching his programmes I pretty much keep quiet but when I watch mine, he will start discussing random stuff or sometimes just keeps grinning over at me. Like a big kid! Still, I have got him into Corrie & even Doctors (my guilty daytime tv pleasure). He will call me in saying " Mrs Tembe's on" lol

Onthehighseas · 23/06/2017 23:49

That I never have, and never would, wear trousers with the creases down the sides. Idiot.

Dlpdep · 23/06/2017 23:50

DH opens fridge, stares blankly into it, 'where's the milk?' It's in exactly the same place as it's been for the past 10 years. We buy 3ltrs. Hard to miss!!

TizzyDongue · 23/06/2017 23:57

Mine put my chocolate in the fridge yesterday. I require chocolate earlier and discovered it was cold and hard.

Thegiantofillinois · 24/06/2017 00:10

Bobbins43 · 24/06/2017 00:11

What time our DD has to be at school

FairyDogMother11 · 24/06/2017 01:14

Mine doesn't realise that if you've taken the bin liner out of the bin it needs replacing Grin

embo1 · 24/06/2017 03:56

When he 'whispers' and no sound comes out, I CAN'T FUCKING HEAR HIM.
Everything else on this thread sounds more like me than him... Hmm

fzpotts · 24/06/2017 04:05

That I hate lavender. Been together 15 yrs and married for 11 and he still buys lavender air freshener or washing up liquid. It makes me gip.

Lynnm63 · 24/06/2017 04:11

My dh offers me orange flavoured chocolate, Jaffa cakes or chocolate with peanuts. I like chocolate, I like peanuts, together they make me want to vomit same with oranges and chocolate. I tell him this EVERY BLOODY TIME FOR 25 YEARS and breathe!

Roystonv · 24/06/2017 04:27

So many of the above and more but the worst is the hurt look when you lose your rag because yet again they have forgotten something so that it becomes your fault and they are back on their self built pedestal.

SquatBetty · 24/06/2017 05:02

Mine asks or checks with me if I have sugar in my tea whenever he makes me one which isn't often as he never makes it correctly to my very fussy specifications.

I have been with DH for 12 years and have never had sugar in my tea in my life.

Tinkie25 · 24/06/2017 05:27

That shoving everything in the nearest drawer is not tidying up.

Mummyoflittledragon · 24/06/2017 05:31

How to make me a decent cup of coffee. It took years to train him how to make me one when I took milk.... now I realise I can't digest milk and it's been what? 3 years. Still can't get it right. Oh and of course, to actually ask me in the first place if I want a drink if he's making one himself.

We've been together for almost 25 years. 😱 That sounds frightening.

Riddo · 24/06/2017 05:50

It's taken 25 years for DH to accept that I will notice if he puts chilli in my food and it will hurt my stomach. "I thought you'd be ok with a little bit" 😡.

I have now put a big sticker on the chilli pot which says Do Not Use In Riddo's Food! It's working so far ...

Llamabrain · 24/06/2017 06:02

How to flush the loo. Sad

Ceto · 24/06/2017 06:38

OP, do you really need a knife for everything? Even things like pasta and shepherd's pie?
