EG 1 from today-just done the food shop & first comment is 'you haven't bought any veg' Apparently frozen peas, carrots, potatoes, green beans & cabbage don't count.
EG 2 from today-just bought a mattress topper which is heavenly & has made our crappy mattress much more comfy. After the first night I got the comment that it's 'too narrow & he feels like he's going to fall off'

More specific examples will come back to me, but this is the general tone of what he's like.

Are they all this miserable or have I picked a particularly bad one?

Mine's a lot happier if we have more sex :)

Not all men are like that. Oh how I hate that saying but there we go. You just happen to have a particularly grumpy husband. That said, the examples you list don't sound particularly galling in isolation - it would grate me if this were a regular occurrence about even the most mundane of things. I'd honestly want to kill him if he could not go one day without moaning about the way I was watering the plants or that I left my jacket hanging on the chair instead of hanging it up etc etc. No-one can live like that.

Nope, we definitely aren't that grumpy all the time but we can have our moments like everyone else.

Has your 'D'H been like this from day 1 or is it a more recent thing? If it was the former then sorry but you knew what you were getting and if it's the latter, something may be bothering him and might be causing the grumps.

No, mine's quite a happy soul. I'm the grumbler in our house. I pointed out to him this morning that the dining room table was full of his crap. He sits at one place and leaves it covered in his stuff, then next time he moves round and does the next one, til there's no room for me to sit and eat breakfast. I grumbled, he smiled and rehomed it all. The table looks lovely now.

Thanks everyone. Don't know if your replies make me feel better or worse 😆
He has sort of been like this all along but feel worse lately. Hard to feel appreciated when a lot of what you do is criticised like this-u grateful fucker!

But Marie I reckon you might have hit the nail on the head!

In my experience, it comes down to DH not feeling wanted and lack of sex. Having just been on the brink of divorce this is my brief summary!
