To ask your DP’s most annoying trait

[Wonderland18]

Mines is more he is a culprit of my pet hate of noisy chewers.

He also always eats his cereal with a tiny teaspoon and it’s just not right to me at all,

Do your dp’s have frustrating traits? AIBU to ask you to share?

Breathing, all the time. I've tried to get him to stop with no success.

My ex sees our DS for a few hours at the weekend, which involves him sitting on the couch while ds plays computer games. When he leaves he says "I've told ds to do his homework" !

Ah, well, that'll help then !

As if some grand paternal pronouncement will suddenly persuade DS to get his maths book out.

Noisy breathing and noisy chewing. Drives me nuts.

Breathing.

Whistling 🤯

He spends about 20 minutes to have a number 2. I mean seriously. Just go to the bathroom when you are actually ready to go.

So many!
Using his beard trimmer but leaving the hairs every fucking where.
Disappearing for a big smelly shit 5 mins before guests are due to arrive and stinking the house out.
Making this weird reverse whistle sound when drinking the dregs of a drink.
Snoring. So much snoring.
Making out he's 'helping me' by putting on a load of laundry but then just leaving it in the machine. Putting in washing is the easy part, it's the bits afterwards that take time🤨
Telling me every minute detail of the car journey/busy shop/missing items, nothing about getting some milk and bread can ever be straightforward.

He texts me at work about NOTHING. I have been driven sometimes to block his number but then he gets all up in the boughs about it. I have blocked him on social media as to my mind, we don't need any more avenues of communication tbqf.

Talk about verbal diarrhea, I was doing a presentation the other week and he texted me ABOUT HIS ACTUAL POO and it came up on the screen. This is actually not the first time this has happened!! I don't want to know! And I don't want four random javascript devs to know either!

Otherwise he's a fine man.

This thread is comedy gold and I would like to thank contributors for cheering me up after a long session talking to a friend who is very, very troubled about the state of her marriage.

My (female) partner doesn't do anything bad enough to piss me off (though I reckon my habits must annoy her); however, when I was married to a bloke, he had the habit...

---of cutting his toenails on to a piece of paper in the lounge in front of me. The mere thought of it makes me boke even now.

Dh also dumps the dishcloths into the little drainer bit between the sink and the draining board so they sit there, damp and festering, instead of wringing them out and hanging them on the edge of the dish rack where they will dry. This means the dishcloths go nasty and slimy.

I have asked him not to do this time and time again, but no joy.

Sadly too many to mention. Nrtft but I'm sure he's commited most of them! 😠 Ignoring most of them is the only way to deal with it, as most are a daily occurance, and after years of trying to get him to change. Ladies, don't bother because they don't listen and learn!

He’s always too hot and has a fan on ALL THE TIME, even in January! Only time it didn’t bother me was during pregnancy!

Pisses all over the toilet seat, always leaves the toilet seat up

Doesn't always remember to wash hands following aforementioned toilet- not pleasant when he gives me a cuddle in bed with the distinct aroma of urine!

Also, is a smoker.
Last thing I do at night is brush my teeth, last thing he does is smoke a cigarette and then come to bed (without brushing teeth!)

@LouReid, just had a read through, and her response to a pp about the lizard tongue is brilliant 😂

And the response about the heavy breather.

He arranges clue-by-clue hunts to lead me to my presents, rather than just giving them to me. Valentine's Day coming up...

Sometimes when I'm in the kitchen, my dp will want to ask me a question or speak to me about something. Only issue is he'll often do it while the oven and washing machine are humming, the tap is flowing, the radio on, and he's standing in the hallway, which is separated from the kitchen by the dining room (long Edwardian house). He'll also speak at the normal voice level he'd use if he was standing next to me. And then he'll get huffy because I didn't hear me, and accuse me of being deaf

This thread is proper hilarious, love it. Mine:

Wears those tiny in-ear earphones round the house when he's doing jobs - I don't know when he's wearing them but every time I speak to him he can't hear a fucking word then gets annoyed when he has to take them out to hear me.

Very long boring work stories involving people I don't know.

Leaves his shoes right behind the front door when he comes in so that the next person coming in the house falls over them.

Oh god, I leave my shoes at the top of the stairs! I am a menace to society!

(I don't mean to be...)

Leaving the front door unlocked. My blood boils

Not waking up in the fucking mornings on a weekend, in every other way he’s a fantastic man but jeeez I have fantasies about pouring f buckets of ice water over that smugly sleeping face 😂😂

Leaving mugs of coffee and tea everywhere
Throwing his clothes on the floor, including ones he's worn for two hours only.
Leaving the front door open though is my major bug bear

Washing lights with darks. Ramming the washing machine full so the clothes are creased to fuck. Ditto with the tumble dryer so nothing ever dries and is creased beyond redemption.

Very very loud sneezing.

If watching something he wants to watch he doesn’t speak. If I’m watching something he starts chatting to the cat, sneezing, trying to talk to me. JUST FUCK OFF!!!!!

Omg dp also takes the 20/30 minute poos, I’m regretting making this thread cause it’s just pointing out all the more annoying traits he’s guilty of 😂😂

Eats cereal with a teaspoon, puts dirty pots in a bowl of water "to soak". He does this with everything, glasses, mugs, everything.
Always leaves a dirty teaspoon next to the kettle.
