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?

Whenever I ask him what he means, because he hasn't chosen his words well, he simply repeats exactly the same phrase again. Example:

Him: My sister's wouldn't be a good idea because it's too late.
Me: (wondering, "your sister's what? which of your four sisters are we discussing? or sisters? or sisters'? too late for what? what on earth are you on about?") What do you mean?
Him: My sister's wouldn't be a good idea because it's too late.
Me: I heard you, I just didn't understand you. Use more words please.

Even then he sometimes repeats the same phrase yet again!

“...and what-not” meaning and whatever... for some reason, what-not sends me into a spin.
Referring to cupboards as “Tallboys” and chests of drawers as “Lowboys”... WHY? OR.... “Duchesses”
This plays in nicely with my other pet peeve...
“Have you seen my ....?” (*LOATHE!!!)
“Found it! It was on the duchess!” WTAF! Who refers to a chest of drawers as a member of the aristocracy? (Especially THAT particularly hideous piece of tat that he will never let me get rid of???)
I don’t speak this language. (Nor do I play hide and seek with him. He is middle-aged. He has his own things and his own eyes.)

My DH uses "goo" for ejaculate

I am crying at this 😂😂

To answer the question...pretty much everything 🤷🏻‍♀️

‘Could you give this a quick rinse’ which roughly translated means ‘wash up this filthy pan’

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

I remember this too . I read it to my family and because of it told my little brother just this morning to smash the day (he heard your original story so got it)

“Where is the ....?” just about any item that he wants to use/needs.
“Let’s not have an argument about this.” Why not?

"Can we try to.."
As in, "can we try to not leave our shoes in the hall" "can we try to put rubbish straight into the bin"
I appreciate the sentiment, I'm a slob, but I cant stand the patronising phrasing.

What have you done all day?

Oh there you are - sitting in your lazy chair !

"Can we try to.."

I'm guilty of using "we" because otherwise I'd be saying "can you try to..." which I think comes across worse. It's like I'm admitting joint responsibility (even though I never leave my shoes in the hall for example) to soften the blow.

I honestly don't know how else to put it without sounding like I'm nagging. Any less patronising suggestions welcome!
