A. Snoring
B. The fact that he's not immortal.

AuntMarch · 14/11/2018 20:05

The noise when he eats. I work with toddlers and they eat better than him. I've come close to leaving the room and once convinced myself we couldn't possibly stay together if it carried on.... Yet here we are and I just seethe silently (or with sarky comments) in the corner instead.

RoboticSealpup · 14/11/2018 20:05

He quite often says one word and means another. And he doesn't realise he does it. He will say "We need to buy milk" when he actually means "we need to buy coffee". It's really weird.

RoboticSealpup · 14/11/2018 20:06

(I wouldn't exactly say I hate it, but it gets a bit annoying as I have to read his mind sometimes.)

Oopsusernamealreadytaken · 14/11/2018 20:09

Leaves multiple damp tea towels on the work tops. 😤

Fireinthegrate · 14/11/2018 20:13

Walks across the house in muddy boots

Seems to take his contact lenses out anywhere, I find them dried up on the floor all over the place

Snores

Coughs

Adds too much salt to food when he knows I'm meant to be on a low salt diet.

Says the dinner will be ready in 10 mins, which we all know actually means at least another half and hour

BadHairDyeDay · 14/11/2018 20:25

He dosen't close the fridge properly and he doesn't FLUSH THE TOILET!!!! I've got rage and I can't carry on with this thread!🤬🤬🤬🤬

Loonoon · 14/11/2018 20:26

The noise at night. Not just snoring but also very vocal nightmares which cause him to scream, shout and swear in his sleep. He sleeps through all this and has no memory of it in the morning whereas I am a wreck because every time I nod off he wakes me by screaming ‘Fuck off’ or some other aggressive statement in my ear.

The nightmares are just after he’s gone to sleep and last 2/3 hours. Then it’s all peaceful until a couple of hours before he wakes up. His digestive system seems to wake before he does so for 2 hours before he surfaces he does many, many long, loud farts.

He’s a lovely man but I really appreciate him best when he’s away from home and I can sleep undisturbed.

Slurps coffee audibly

Bimmy76 · 14/11/2018 20:49

Restacking the dishwasher after I’ve already done it because my way is “inefficient”.

jq28 · 14/11/2018 20:50

Another one for snoring.

LucyMorningStar · 14/11/2018 20:56

Thankfully I'm single now but when we were together I wanted to murder him for all the usual stuff like farting, not lifting a finger around the house etc.

Then he became an alcoholic so there was that too. And YES YES to what @FrankieChips said about discussions about politics! I couldn't give less shit, they're all lying bastards, reading about it was mind numbingly boring!

mrcharlie · 14/11/2018 20:58

Ok, my turn...
Puts plates infront of dishes in dishwasher!! its not a magic box sweetheart !!
Empties boiled water from saucepans (spuds/veg etc) into washing up bowl full of dirty pots despite empty draining sink next to main sink!
Leaves clothes on the bedroom floor next to laundry basket
Will put empty loo roll on floor left side of toilet, bin is closer on right side!
6 pairs of shoes out constantly
Eats like a primate, fist grabbing both knife and fork and scraping plate loudly - I've walked out of many diners through sheer embarrassment
Talks in cliches - drives me insane
Elaborates and dramatises gossip - just say the damn truth woman!!

Can hold a grudge for Africa.

Whitescarf · 15/11/2018 07:41

Reading this has made me remember all the other stuff that DH does that annoys me, turns out there's a lot Grin

The plates next to the dishwasher, clothes next to the basket not in it, wet towels on the bed, telling me every time he's had a poo, doesn't flush the toilet if he only goes for a wee (gets it from his mum), leaves 20 glasses next to the bed for his water at night rather than reusing one, shoes next to the shoe rack, he laughs SO fucking loud when he watches tv, he constantly has to tap something when he's watching tv, if he's taken the car for something and I use it next there's awful shitty music blaring out making me go tone deaf for half the day cause it's so loud. He pulls the handbrake up SO high that I need two hands to release it!!
There are loads more I'm sure but now I'm getting too annoyed at the poor sod Grin
I love him really

Bombaybunty · 15/11/2018 07:57

Constant moaning about how tired he is. He works normal hours and has a commute that 1000s people do.

DammitOedipus · 15/11/2018 08:13

When he's bored, he screeches/roars like a dragon. I don't understand why. I've asked why and he doesn't know. I've asked him to stop because it's irritating and he says I am unreasonable.

I did not marry a pterodactyl for a reason!

xJessica · 15/11/2018 08:23

Comes home and instantly puts the heating on plus other heaters and closes the bedroom window (which is on the latch). Last night I'd gone out to pick up DD, and had lit the fire before going out so it was just right temperature wise. Came in and the heater was on full in the tiny porch so that was instant heat when we came in, every door was closed and the heating was blasting. We have 2 radiators in the living room as well as the coal fire. It was 14 degrees outside. He accused me of going through the change when I said the stuffy heat was starting to give me a headache! Angry

sallysec · 15/11/2018 16:00

Does anyone else have a dh/dp that just does not understand the concept of time???

For example....dh says he has a few things he wants to do that day which includes going for a hair cut - she's only open until 12 on a Saturday. 11.50 he's still sat at home playing on his phone......

He also plans too many things in one day. 'He's like I'm going to go here, here and here and then I'm going to do this and go to this'......again still sat on his arse at 3pm on a Sunday afternoon.....I gently remind him of the time and his response is always the same 'don't worry darling I've got plenty of time'.....

Annoyingly he somehow manages to get it all done Angry

merlotmummy14 · 15/11/2018 16:09

20 minute dumps in the morning that leave bathroom stinking all day even after air freshener and bleach. I've told him on multiple occasions he needs to see a doctor.

WhatelsecouldIbecalled · 15/11/2018 16:24

I adore my DH but the one thing that drives me mad....getting ready to go out. He sits in the sofa says he’s waitin for me. I shout down Ill be ready to go in 10mins are you ready...yes comes the reply. Still sits on the sofa. Come down 10 mins later he makes a comment that he’s waited for me yeah fine but are you ready to go...NO. Then he starts faffing looking for shoes/phone/watch/wallet etc. Why can’t he just do this in the last ten minutes of me getting ready? It’s not like he needs a audience to look for stuff! He is awesome but this drives me crackers sometimes.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 15/11/2018 16:38

He walks PAST the recycling bin to leave things on the kitchen worktop. Growl.
