Ah what a wonderful thread Sometimes I hate these threads because everyone claims their 'ex' used to be like this, and never admits their current partner/DH is!
My DH is a PITA half the time because.......
He chatters incessantly much of the time, when I am trying to concentrate/watch something/read. So much so that I have to watch MY programmes when he is in bed/at work. I also do anything important that needs a lot of concentration when he's at work or in bed too. Because I can't concentrate when he's chatting. If I try to do something when he's in the room and I say 'please be quiet and don't talk to me while I do this...I should only be 10 minutes...' he starts sighing and fidgeting after about 30 seconds... And then after about TWO minutes he says 'can I talk yet?'
He's like a toddler sometimes!
He sighs REALLY heavily for no apparent reason, and looks at me as if he is expecting me to ask 'what's up?' Also tuts, and says 'aaah, oh dear...!' when he's on his computer across the other side of the lounge. OR he bursts out laughing at something he's looking at on the computer. Basically attention seeking. I never ever respond, and ignore him when he does this. He also does the ridiculously loud MAN-sneezes. Looking for a reaction. He gets none. Oh and as with another poster, he blows his nose and it's just dry.
He's a bit of a hypochondriac too, and develops a new ailment every other month. When he runs out, he goes back to the first one! He's always got what I've got too... (on the rare occasion I have anything,) and it's always worse!
He also narrates every single thing he is doing, and when HE is watching a TV show and I am not watching it, he gives me a running commentary of what he's watching. I say (repeatedly,) 'WHY are you giving me a running commentary of what you're watching?
I'm not watching it. I'm not interested!' He pouts and says 'But I am interested....' and pulls a face like this >>>
He is SO wounded because I'm not stopping everything I'm doing and listening to his waffle.
He comes into the kitchen EVERY SINGLE DAY without fail when I'm cooking dinner, and just leans against the worktop, and expels a long puff of air. 'pfffffff......' I say 'what d'ya want?' He says 'Nothing I've just come in for a chat.' I think 'I don't WANT to chat. I am doing dinner - piss off! We can chat over dinner!!!' But I say (instead) 'actually can we just talk when we're having dinner?' and he says 'Oh I get it! Sod off and leave me alone annoying husband. I get the message, I'm annoying you.' Then he leaves. I'm like
So he KNOWS I get irked by him hanging around like a fart when I'm doing dinner, yet he does it EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I think this is the reason why a lot of women, particularly who've been married for many years to a man, can't stand him hanging around all day - and hate him being in the house all day every day... because men ALWAYS have to let you know they're there, they won't shut the fuck up chatting, and everything has to be centred around them and their needs.
Some women really struggled when the men were off work for 9-12 months during covid lockdown. And it's why a lot of women suffer depression when their husbands retire - and they're stuck hanging around the house. Because a lot of men don't go fishing and playing golf and playing darts and go to the pub with mates once they get to a certain age, (say past 50-52.) They hang around like a bad smell, and irritate and bug their wives. Attention seeking and whiny like toddlers.
They don't just sit and chill and do their own thing. They are attention seeking, they have to let everyone know they're there, they want to talk constantly on THEIR terms - and chat over what you are watching - (but God forbid you chat over their shows or the news or sport etc,) and their presence just takes over the whole house.
No I don't hate my husband, and we do get on well mostly, we have TV shows we watch together, have fun day trips and meals out, and afternoons out, and walks in the countryside and by the beach and by the river, and we like the same types of films and music, and we have a laugh some days!!! But after 37 years together - OMG he can fucking irritate me some days! And whilst he would love nothing more than to spend every waking moment with me for the rest of our lives. I NEED time away from him/need him out of the house!
Some people may say a MAN should be as entitled to be in his own house as much as the woman, but I disagree, because women don't make everything all about them much of time, and don't dominate the entire household with their presence, and demand attention all the time.
My DH was constantly away from the house/at work/with his mates when the kids were little/school age, and I looked after them 90% of the time, but once they left home and he hit 50, he suddenly stopped going out, and just sits watching the TV half his waking hours. Apart from his 28 hours a week at work, (four 7 hour shifts,) he never leaves the house. Never goes out without me, has no mates, and has no family except me and our 2 adult DC. So YEP, sometimes I get really frustrated with him. He is more than happy for me to go out without him, and I do a lot, but he NEVER goes out without me!
I don't know HOW I am gonna cope when he retires!! 
Oooooh, that was quite a tasty rant!
