Minor things your other half does that make you all stabby 🙃

[ChilliOnTheWilli]

My DH is constantly asking for brews. I have never ever seen someone drink so many cups of tea and coffee in my life. His family are all the same, offering each other brews every 5 seconds. You literally put your cup down at my MILs and she's got the kettle on again.

I honestly can't take one more 'are you making a brew?' any time I look like I might be leaving the room or at the first hint of getting out of bed in the mornings. It gives me the RAGE 😂 (don't get me wrong, he makes a lot himself too). It's worse than hearing 'mum, mum, mum' for the millionth time a day.

He will even ask or get up to make one at like 11pm when we're in bed or if he's in the middle of drinking a beer in the evening.

Can I divorce my husband for making and requesting too many brews? Do your partners do anything minor that make you all stabby?

And obviously this is light-hearted, I won't actually stab him unless he asks for another brew

Yes Pretty. Mine suffers with belly aches/ wind etc after steak pudding, chips and peas and gravy from the chippy. But orders if every bloody time.
Apologies for my poo/ toilet rant earlier. Milder things are needing reminding to take poo bags for the dog EVERY walk and saying hello go shopping for "me" but needs me to make the list

Mine can’t abide TV commercials. Whenever we are watching anything he mutes the commercials then turns the sound up a nanosecond too late so we miss vital information. It absolutely makes me want to scream.

Never seeing anything that needs going around the house until I point it out.

Leaving his shoes right in front of the kitchen cupboard so I have to kick them out of the way.

Being the most untidy person I know yet lecturing the dc on being tidy.

Saying he's loaded the dishwasher but never emptying the sink of dirty water or taking things out of the sink!!

When making a brew he stirs and stirs the mugs for ages then he gets the spoon and does a little rat tatty tat tat on the mug. RRrrrrrr.

He moves a lot in his sleep, often throwing his arms out, resulting in me being punched in the face, or a knee rammed into my spine!

Also a duvet hogger. I wake up freezing my tits off. He tucks my entire half of the duvet in between his knees and legs. Resulting in a tug of war, it's wedged in there so tight I often end up punching myself in the mouth trying to grab it up and over me.

He sleep walks, opening invisible doors on walls thinking he's going to our bathroom, and once peed in our wardrobe, and another time the laundry basket! He went outside the front door that opens on to our street with about a dozen houses facing us, onto the step wearing only his boxers and tried to pee on our door!

He eats fairly healthy during the day but many nights wakes up hungry and brings food into the bed, often toast, crisps or an entire packet of biscuits. He lies there half awake eating them until he falls asleep with the open packet under the duvet. He then rolls all over the place with his movements... not just crumbs everywhere but chunks and crinkly packets. One morning I woke to find him and our white sheets almost entirely covered in brown shit! I literally thought he shat himself, turned out to be a giant bar of mint aero that he fell asleep on!

The real thing though I suspect is actually something I think my dp would say drives them to distraction.
I’m very much a ‘just in case’ or ‘what if’planner. Eg scanned copy of docs, spare credit card hidden somewhere when travelling ‘just in case’ etc.
I’m aware this annoys dp who is more relaxed risky etc

Trouble is there hasn’t ever been a time when I ‘win’ that one. We’ve never yet lost important docs or needed the spare charger in the back of the car etc. I live for the day I can say to some foreign border control official ‘hang on I’ve got a scan of that if it would be helpful’ or similar.

Leaves the toilet seat up despite me asking him not to 678 times a day.

Sneezes SO LOUDLY it makes me jump

Leaves £5 of coins in his pockets and then shoves them in the wash basket, so when I do the washing it rains change on me!

Takes his socks off and leaves them everywhere in the house!

Eats his food so quickly I’m often only halfway through my meal, and he then complains of bloody indigestion!

Takes a lifetime to tell a story, GET TO THE POINT!

I love him with all my heart, I really do. But bloody hell he annoys me often!

I hope you take it every single time and don’t return it😂 my ex used to do that and I claimed it as a tax for doing the laundry. He was financially abusive though😏

Putting his clothes in the wrong side of the laundry basket, ie, a pale blue (almost white) shirt in with darks. AAAARGH.

Omg the food in bed thing would be a deal breaker for me!

I was once changing the bedsheets and found a biscuit with one bite taken out of it under DP's pillow.

He sleepwalks sometimes and often goes to the kitchen and eats something without knowing he's done it. I remember waking up one morning to a piece of ham carefully laid out flat on the floor in the hallway

His OCD. If there is one toy on the floor or one empty cup on the side he starts scrubbing the room like a maniac yelling I DIDNT REALISE THE HOUSE GOT THIS BAD, I NEED TO SET THIS DUMP IN FIRE!!! WHAT A HELLHOLE!! On the plus side the house is always pristine because of it.
When something doesnt go as expected, he does this robotic talk and goes DOES NOT COMPUTE, I NEED INPUT, I NEED INFORMATION
He covers my beautiful black towels in shaving foam and toothpaste
If his cup of tea is not exactly perfectly done to his exact requirements he starts to spit out and make faces like a spoiled child
His laugh grates on me, it has a sinister ring to it, like a movie villain
And the worst of all, his many and frequent racist/ homophobe/ generally bigot poisoned remarks.

He never offers me a brew!!!!! Hahaha everytime I make tea I offer him one.. he never offers me one. He says it's because I always leave a bit at the bottom and it annoys him!? Its tea not liquid gold jesus 🤣
He also leaves wet towels.. on the bed.

GalaKC that's not OCD, that's being a giant prick.

@GalaKC wow he sounds like a real catch!!

Why are you even still there?? That's totally not minor.

@micc but he’s happy to drink it when you make it? Stop offering!

@BensonStabler. With that many bad night-time habits, I'd banish him to the spare room. (As an aside, can you get a duvet each, so he doesn't pinch yours?

That is NOT OCD, @GalaKC.

How does this fit in with his 'OCD', then?? Sounds like he's being a dick.

This is not minor. why are you still with him?

My DH is extremely tidy (so much so that it pisses me off because I was going to put that cardigan on, you didn’t have to go and hang it back up in the wardrobe upstairs because it was annoying you).

So it’s all the more irritating that he never puts a new bag in the food waste bin, ever. I trot up to it with hands full of carrot peelings then need to put them down somewhere while I go and get a new food waste bag.

Never putting anything away.
Waiting until I’m busy to ask if I know where something is knowing full well I’m going to get really stressed if he goes looking for it himself. Then when said thing can’t be found asking “have you dumped it”. Grrrrr .

If you passify this then you are frankly as bad as him... are you genuinley proud enough to post online you married a racist, homophobic bigot?

like judge judy says your guilty for supporting it - if 3 girls decide to rob some on the train, they big each other up for a bit then one pins the victim down, the next grabs their phone and the third pulls a knife and stabs the victim they are all equally guilty of the murder because the one with the knife wouldnt have done it without their support and backup - its the same with hate crime/speech, if you allow it you support it and your just as guilty

also thats not OCD... at the very begining I thought it could possibly be mild autism/aspergers but as you go on hes clearly just a complete arsehole

Empty loo roll tube left on top of the bin.

We had a friends brilliant au pair as a cleaner for a year. She was great, and I didn't like to explain that it was sheer laziness that mean DH leaves out empty loo rolls. I told her he collected them.

We were very sorry when she went home. She even had presents for us to say goodbye. A delicate glass saucer for me, from her fathers glass factory, to hold rings.

For DH, she had collected nearly a years worth of empty loo rolls, to add to his collection. 😆

@mam0918 doesn't all that righteousness sting a bit on the way out?

That poster is quite clearly in a horrible relationship with a bully, and you thought you'd pile on and twist the knife?

Go have a chat with Judge Judy about that situation, see what she'd say...

My husband is also a man looker. I can tell him exactly where something is and he won't be able to find it because it's behind a yoghurt pot or there's a book on top of it.
He also takes up most of the sofa, we have a big corner sofa and he fills all of one side with his laptop, my books, general crap then insists on sitting next to me so I have to curl my legs up while he stretches his across the gap. Drives me potty.
Another crime is taking up all the available surfaces in the kitchen when cooking. He also reads recipes step by step so doesn't plan ahead. If a recipe says to add chopped veg he won't have chopped the veg beforehand so then something is burning while he panics and faffs around peeling carrots. The other evening we were making pizza, I'd made the dough as he's scared of the stand mixer and he made the sauce. I came in to the kitchen after a busy afternoon skimming plaster (he's DIY inept so I am doing our doer-upper largely single-handledly) and he'd taken 45 minutes to make it. Where normal people would use the time it's simmering to prep the toppings he used it as a time to play games on his phone then we ate late because we had to do it while he moaned about how tired he was.
He used to try to cuddle me in the night when I was asleep but learnt the hard way that I didn't like that. I also cured of him his habit of playing pocket billiards in public by charging him £1 every time I caught him at it.
But he also makes most of the cups of tea and looks after me when I'm ill (frequently) and doesn't moan when I have loud Skype calls with my family in Australia.
