Things your DP says that drives you mad

[Butterflyflower1234]

We can't be the only couple that argue over little things that are said but they drive you bonkers.

Last night my DP told me to 'chill out' which drives me insane. I am chilled!! I just give a damn about things.

Also he has a habit of asking when I'm 'due on' if I'm being a bit moody.

He's generally pretty awesome so these are just silly things that drive me bonkers. Do you have any things like this to share?

“Oh I can see you are in one of those moods “

“Being devil’s advocate...”
Also another one for “leave that, I’ll do that in a minute” ... I wouldn’t mind if he actually then did it, but he then forgets 😤

look and nod. Not no....FFS again!

Another vote for "It is what it is"

Pointless lazy phrase that just basically abdicates all responsibility

IN A FUCKING MINUTE!!!

@Makinganewthinghappen

I posted a while ago about my dh telling me to “smash the day” - terrible

I remember that! 😂

My DH starts too many sentences with ‘essentially’.

It is what it is is brilliant!

I use it to convey disappointment to tardy suppliers. They know it’s code for ‘I’m so pissed at you right now but I know I need to maintain diplomacy’.

“What’s the matter?” Absolutely goes through me.

Mispronouncing the word “something” by instead saying “sumfink”. Drives me batty.

My DH asks things "just out of interest".

I'll mention "Oh, I called into the petrol station on the way home, and bumped into Janet" and he'll say "What were you getting in the petrol station, just out of interest?". It comes across as really nosey and drives me mad!

"Whereby" in every sentence and hardly ever the correct usage.

Also...
Me: "Surely we don't need to do xxx or yyy"
Him: "Don't call me Shirley"

That got old about 14 years ago.

Mine says 'supposedly' all the time...
for example he will have read some thing on the internet and will say 'supposedly such and such happened'. I honestly can't bear it-for no real reason.

when he is explaining something (usually why he can't do it/attend an event) his explanation is 'various reasons'. as in 'I can't go for various reasons'. It drives me nuts.

"This, that, and the other"

😡

What’s the matter?” Absolutely goes through me. angry

Really?!

If I trip or overbalanced (it's happened a lot lately, I think I'm overtired ) he'll go "oh, steady".

Like fuck off you're not helping.

@NoWayNoHow That Shirley thing - that's my dad, he's being saying since I.was.born. I am now 46. He will never stop. I predict the same for your DH. It.will.never.stop.

My DH uses "goo" for ejaculate. It makes me cringe so badly. He knows it does too. He also uses "tummy" which also makes me want to punch him. He can't see the problem.

He is otherwise wonderful but those two tiny words make me wonder if we're right together...

I use "it is what it is" all the time - it's the perfect response!

“Where is the ice cream?”

He cannot look for anything by himself, it drives me insane.

Goo

@unfamousposter mine is "aloud" instead of "allowed" drives me mental. Other mistakes don't bother me but this one....!!!

"Calm down" .... ahye sure I'll just do that!!

My DH uses "goo" for ejaculate.

I read that as ‘my dad’ and recoiled

@jamesbluntssupermodels - I know. Apparently it stems from university (where we did not meet so I cannot check the veracity of that statement). In all other ways though, he is amazing, so I guess some things you just have to let go.

@MinervaSaidThat - that really would have been inappropriate!

The nights are fair drawing in now... every time it gets dark, at all times of the year...

He’s also been known to say chillax and asked me to do him a solid - both unironically

"Oh you've gone over then", meaning I've got PMT, said when I call him out on something half-brained he's done or said.

It's how the situation is suddenly flipped and deflected to being my problem and that I'm being aggressive about it, rather than him being a massive twat.

See also any reference to 'your hormones', how about you just don't be a twat DP?
