Does your DH ask 'stupid' questions?

[Brightburn]

Urghhh! Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets fed up of their DH asking 'stupid' questions they already know the answer to but are to lazy to think for themselves so ask you to think for them.

Today's example... DH gets dirty chopping board out of dishwasher, what have you used this for this morning? ... Cutting sausages, as you watched me do it and asked me to cut yours too.

Very petty, very unreasonable but it just winds me up

He sounds dreadful Gazelle. All the best.

Mine can’t find anything. He is in the police and search trained but he can’t find anything at home😂😂yes I remind him of this often and complain about him trespassing upon my brain cells.

Also he will go to a family do (if I’m not there) and I’ll ask “what’s the gossip” and he knows nothing.

Oh my god yes! A million times yes!

His relationship to the bleeding obvious knows no bounds.

I wouldn’t mind but he’s really really intelligent with a shit hot memory.

Drives me crazy.

You need to get rid of him Amphetamine he sounds like a complete and utter dick.

I constantly get asked “what time is it?”, “what date is today?”, “what’s the weather like outside (when we’re both near the window)?”
He just wants me to do his thinking for him. Drives me nuts. I refuse now and tell him I’m not Alexa!!!!

'Which plates mine?' There was a choice of a big manly dinner on a big manly plate, or a toddler size dinner on a orange parrot plate.
What's on the menu at the takeaway? No idea DP. Google it like I'd have to.
What shall I have? No bloody idea. You're the one eating it.
What time is school pick up? The same time as it is every Friday when you pick him up.
Its constant. It's boring. It drives me INSAAAAANE

I am putting the youngest to bed and had a text “where are my crisps?”

I told him to look where all the food lives. Apparently not there. 1 min later “I’ve found it” Well yes if you’d bothered to look properly where they always are rather than asking me.
🙄

"I’m stood there saying where is the E-G-G? And I could see him trying to spell it out in his head and in the end I snapped"

That' hillarious! My ex blanked like that once, only with the word bike. No matter how many times I spelt out B-I-K-E, B-I-C-Y-C-L-E, or said think Queen and sang "I want to ride my-", and other hints, he just stood there, looking gormless. I had to ask him to step out of the room with me for a minute, so I could hiss "bike"! At him. Then he tried to argue that's not how bike's spelt, until he almost had me convinced I was wrong.

This is why you should only form adult relationships with adults

DP has a spectacularly annoying habit of asking me questions from the other side of the house and expecting me to go to him . I ignore him.

Also, I'll generally answer most questions if I know the answer, but I expect him to figure it out himself beyond that. No, I am not googling for you. In the same vein, I refuse to stop what I'm doing on the phone/tablet so I can Google stuff for him as what he's doing is obviously more important.

It's the "what's the plan?" questions that tip me over the edge. We both work FT - why does he think I have the plan for each and every meal, leisure day and holiday?

Mines the same. I came back from the corner shop earlier with bread, yogurts and milk. He asked me where I wanted it all? Apparently I was aggressive when I replied ‘where do you fucking think?’

My biggest bug bear is that he can’t build anything without saying it’s broken and I need to take it back. He does it with furniture, the new oven seal, and even the new pan stand. Funnily enough when I read the instructions and take my time it’s all fine and we have never had to take anything back.

My DH used to do this. I answered every single time with, “Do I look like google?” Seemed to do the trick.

AmphetamineGazelle you need to start a thread in relationships to get some good advice.

Oh yes, pointless questions or expect that suddenly know things about toddlerisms. This must go hand in hand with saying we don’t have any x because he has opened and cupboard and couldn’t see x immediately. Or my favourite one from last week, “did you buy any bananas.” Yes you know I did because you ate them. “We have run out of bananas”. Well yes if you suddenly decide to eat one a day when you normal don’t eat any fruit that will happen. If you don’t add things to the shopping list then they won’t be bought.

Mine doesn't know where things live in the kitchen when he's emptying the dishwasher but seems to be able to find the same things when he needs to cook himself something.

And yes to 'What's the plan?' Just for once, I'd love someone else to know what the plan is.

I think he is at his most irritating watching tv. What’s this, whose that, why are they doing that etc? we are watching the same programme so how does he think I know. I have to pause it to reply as I miss the next bit explaining to him. I can’t watch anything complicated like Line of Duty with him!

I'm like this! No one will watch TV/films with me as I keep asking questions!! I just need to know who everyone is and what's going on lol.

DP has a spectacularly annoying habit of asking me questions from the other side of the house and expecting me to go to him.

LOL. My husband does this occasionally too. He also has a habit of trying to talk to me/ask me things when I am 2 rooms away (so I am in the kitchen/diner, and he's in the lounge, and the hall is in between.) I have the microwave going, the fan, the washing machine, and the kettle, and he acts all surprised when I come into the lounge red-faced with annoyance, and say I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!!!!!!!

'trespassing on my brain cells' - I LOVE this.

I have quite a busy inner life. It keeps me sane. I have 2 kids with ASD. Its not enough i have to stop and answer endless Qu's from the DC (fair enough, they are DC and have ASD) but endless ones from H too?

What did it for me was not even the incompetance, it was the endless whining: 'well, i cant do it MYSEEEEELF, it would only be 'wrong'.

Well... yes. If i can learn to load and operate a washing machine, a cooker, check homework / teeth brushing etc so CAN YOU. For example, If you serve the kids undrained overcooked pasta with an undrained can of tuna on top they will not eat much as they dont like 'cold fish chunks and glue in oil and water soup', i will point out you need to drain the pasta, mix the tuna with soft cheese, add some peas/sweetcorn, serve with some salad - i'm not a good cook but i can feed the kids food they will eat. Then sarcastically saying: 'thank you for a lovely tea, please may i leave the table' (as I 'treat you like a kid') just means i left. As i couldnt STAND it any more.

And, breathe...

This is what winds me up into the deepest rage:
DH: Do you know (insert name)'s phone number/ email/ shoe size etc
Me: yes I do
DH: what is it?
Me: it's 07595......
DH: hold on while I find a pen

Every. Fucking. Time

I have found my people!!!

DH doesn’t often do this, but I have an example from today:
DH: have you seen my trainers?
Me: yes, they’re in the shoe cupboard
DH: why did you put them there?
Me

hidinginthenightgarden we're married to the same man!

Also when we leave the house:
"Have you got parking change?"
"Have you got water?"
"Have you got sun cream?"
"Hand you got any tissues?"

You're fifty years old ffs!

Yes this happens a lot. Unfortunately for him I'm in the process of teaching my 11 year old to think for himself so I've gotten quite good at the game. Last week I told them both that everything they were looking for/couldnt find was in the shed fi.
