Is anyone else's dp/dh just really bloody annoying?

[Mashaandthebearr]

Every evening my dp complains about how cold he is, never wants the heating off.. And yet he's walking around the house in a t-shirt and shorts. God give me the bloody strength!!

Yesterday he left a big wet towel on my side of the bed, every time he removes his socks he rolls them off into balls and I have to roll the bloody things back out to wash them. He also does this weird thing with his teeth where he like, sucks through them over and over again after he's finished eating? His whole family do it, anytime I ask him what the actual fuck he's doing and why, he just shrugs.

So I'm in the mood for a bit of a winge, obviously, please tell me how much your dp/dhs annoy you, so I can prevent myself strangling him in his sleep.

When I walk through the door after work dhs straight onto me about what’s for dinner. All I want to do is go upstairs and freshen up and get changed out of my smart clothes and into my jeans.
Talked me through cooking dinner in a running commentary like he was Jamie fucking Oliver and complained that the food wasn’t bubbling over (only to be told to take the lid off of the dish) quelle surprise it was bubbling.
Moaned that there were only 7 steak knives, where’s the eighth. Probably in the wash, no it was under a tea towel. He goes nuts every time he loses one of those steak knives from the knife block 🙄 he gets on my last nerve when he’s looking for it. I have to leave the room.

I don’t do dhs laundry, he does his own. It’s the way to go!

For people who are washing socks rolled up or sleeves rolled up - do you unroll it all to dry? I would find it never dried in all in a bunch

Dh phoned me tat he’d had an accident on his bike. I panicked, obviously, thinking the worst. Turns out the ‘accident’ was him pulling a muscle in his leg while trying to get off the bike, which was parked! Queue the last few days of crying every time he moves, moaning about the pain, not being able to take dogs for a walk etc etc. Hasn’t taken any painkillers, won’t do any stretches to help. He drives me nuts!

The laundry thing is easily solved.....get him to wash his own clothes. You know, seeing as though he's a grown adult and all that.

These posts are brill

Mine doesn't do the rolled up sock thing, (he tucks his pants into his socks because it makes his work boots comfier) so he manages to keep the socks on the end of his trousers and boxers still inside trousers. Don't know how he manages it.
And no I do not separate it all either.
If it's still all somehow attached to each other by the time it's washed I suppose he could just jump straight back into it

Anyway that's just 1 annoyance on a long list

If he's not snoring then he makes this godawful clicking noise

@TwoZeroTwoZero Oh my god, this is the exact same noise DH makes when he’s not snoring. It’s infuriating and makes me want to clamp his nose and/or mouth shut permanently. Its possibly even more irritating than the snoring. DH has insisted that the “popping noise” I refer to doesn’t exist... 😡

Why would a healthy adult need another adult to do their personal care? Dirty clothes are personal, I can't get my head around the number of people who do it for their menfolk. It's like washing his hair or polishing his shoes. Weird!

All this stuff is really boiling my piss on your behalf. I wouldn’t convict any of you.

Omg where to start!! Snoring - like a warthog and then has the cheek to get pissed off if I wake him for it (because you know, no one else needs sleep except him) - and that's even with sleeping in another bedroom!
Food, chomps and slurps it around making so much noise and don't even start me on him eating crisps! I'm surprised I haven't thrown something at him yet!
Laundry - puts it on top of the basket instead of in the basket? Whyyyyyyyy? Is it really so hard to lift the lid and put the stuff inside?
Oh and washes the dishes (badly) and doesn't bother to empty the washing up bowl or wipe down anywhere so walks away leaving a bowl of congealing water, stained sink and surfaces that are filthy! Just gross 🤮
In conclusion, I suspect they're definitely a different species!!

I'm so glad all your dhs are as annoying as mine! He actually does the washing too, but I tend to do most of it as I only work a couple of hours a week, if I didn't unroll the socks I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about them in the machine, and then as another poster said, they wouldn't dry.

I just thought of another one. He does our online shop every week because I hate doing it. Every week, without fail, he buys a 4 pack of tinned tomatoes. I seriously don't know why because I only use about 1 tin a week, sometimes none. Iv just counted and I currently have 21 tins, and our shopping comes tomorrow. What the fuck is that all about?

Thanks for the Lols.

I'm sure you're all perfect!

Like my wife.... who cannot put a pair of jeans/trousers in the laundry without making sure one leg is right way out, and one is inside-out. ditto for sleeves on sweaters. Socks balled for washing! Wrong knives used for every kitchen task so they go totally dull. Things placed on top of each other so there is no way that they can respect the laws of physics and stay there.

It's all good fun though.

Don't get me started on the kids.

So many annoying habits:-

Yes to the snoring and funny clicking noise - drives me up the wall.
He always throws tea dregs down the kitchen sink but never washes it away so the sink is permanently stained brown - I have asked him SO many times not to do this!
Socks in balls!
Socks left on the living room floor.
Wet towel thrown on the floor in the bathroom - how does he expect it to dry if he doesn't put it back on the towel rail? Or worse, he sometimes drapes the towel on the banisters which of course mattifies the gloss paint!
Won't use a tooth mug for rinsing his teeth - puts his mouth under the tap and drinks it from there! Result - water all round the sink, on the floor and on the counter top. Also drips toothpaste on the counter top as he replaces brush in mug! Of course, never cleans up said drips!!

OMG - 21 tins of tomatoes???????

Every morning he wakes 4 yo DD so she is exhausted by the time she starts school at 9 and wakes our newborn and me so I am cranky for the rest of the day.

I’d tell him he needs to pack that shit in right now or be looking for somewhere else to live. What an inconsiderate bellend.

I often have to leave for work early so I put all my clothes and makeup in the spare room for the morning and sneak out leaving DS and DH still snoozing.

• does a silly dance in front of the TV most evenings even though I’ve told him it was only mildly amusing the first time and just plain irritating now.
• leaves his clean laundry folded from the washing machine underneath a chair in the living room for days on end as he clearly can’t be arsed to take it upstairs (I refuse to do it).
• eats his dinner so ridiculously slowly every evening. I’ve finished mine about 30 mins before he has and I’m not a fast eater so his must be completely stone cold.
• occasionally smokes a cigarette and then wants to kiss me with his pongy smoky breath.
• tickles me and finds it hilarious even though he knows I hate it.
• always losing things around the house and then getting into a seething rage when he’s trying to find it.

Occasionally he will have a later start at work and still be here in the morning while I'm getting DC ready for school. Most days he is gone hours before. On these days, despite having another 2 bathrooms to pick from, he will park himself up in the bathroom where all the DC toothbrushes live, so no one can get in to brush their teeth. DD1 had to leave with a handful of chewing gum as she couldn't get her brush and would get a detention if late. He then acts all offended when they can get in and complain about the smell.

This 100%!!

Mine leaves litter. If there's a packet and it's empty, he will leave it where it is. He also leaves food that needs chucking just on the side, which is unhygienic in summer particularly. Why he can't just bin it, I don't know. Fortunately he does all the washing as our machine came from his house when we amalgamated our lives, and he is anal about its use.
Argh he leaves shoes everywhere and then complains when the dog trips over them and moves them about. Use. The. Bloody. Shoe. Rack. Then!

My ex did the sighing thing constantly.After a while ok a few years I pinned him down and asked why.

He tells he he was 'stretching his lungs...

@Thehop
That actually made me belly laugh! Poor him and his small croc! I hope you’ve been rubbing his poor foot ever since!!!

I honestly can't see what's weird about having a washing basket that everyone throws their washing in the then washing them all together.. Is that not normal in families? Why would we do our own separate washing? That sounds like a pain in the arse.

If you're in a long term commitment to someone, why would you be worried about touching their 'personal' clothes? This is lighthearted BTW, I'm sure I also do my dps head in. I do my own head in sometimes to be fair..

That's such a weird attitude. We have one laundry basket so everyone's clothes get washed. Do you only wash your own plates and cutlery and leave everyone else's too? I did a wash 2 days ago. DH put one on this morning. Who can be arsed having separate baskets or going through one basket and picking out their own stuff?

1. Sock thing yes and same with all his clothes (IF they ever reach the laundry basket). I now wash, dry and put everything away as it comes...

2. Hangs ALL worn clothes on the bannister on the landing. Complained that he didn't have big enough wardrobe in old house, so we bought 2 big new ones, plenty of space for all this clothes. Clothes STILL go on the bannister every single day. If I don't put them away, they will NEVER MOVE.

3. Showers and then steps out of the shower soaking wet, walks around the house soaking wet for 15 mins, soaks the entire house, wipes the steam of the bathroom mirror WITH WET HANDS and then goes to the bedroom mirror to sort himself out while finally drying himself. There is a cloth purposefully next to the bathroom mirror to wipe steam.

4. Plays football in the house with the dog. Walls are filthy. Yet to break anything mind. Maybe I should be thankful?

5. Leaves shoes everywhere. Never puts them away EVER.

6. Never washes toothpaste and other ming out of the bathroom sink. It's vile.

7. Still pisses on the toilet seat at 30. Sometimes the floor if he goes in the middle of the night.

8. Bin under the kitchen sink. Puts rubbish IN SINK right above him, inside dirty pots that he has also left. Dishwasher is right next to sink also.

9. Regularly feeds the dog human food which makes the dog have the almighty shits.

God I do love him but HE IS A PAIN IN THE ASS!

@Sexnotgender

The thing is even if he puts stuff in the bathroom he just doesn't lift his feet so stomps which wakes everyone up anyway. He can't seem to not do it!

It takes all sorts I guess but I don't see why an adult can't do their own washing. And isn't it funny how it's nearly always the women doing the laundry??
It's not about not wanting to touch their clothes it's just adults taking responsibility for their own personal care.
As soon as DS is old enough he'll be doing his own washing too.
