What do you find annoying but put up with?

[cheesecadet]

This is particularly for women with partners in their 40s/50s but any age really.

What do you find that's childish/irritating/immature or crass and wish they'd grow up but you put up with it. Why do you?

Mine’s 37 and the first thing he does when he gets home is strip down to his pants. It could be the dead of winter and 10 degrees inside the house, but there he is in his pants 😂 he’s done it ever since he was a kid, so I don’t suppose he’ll ever grow out of it!

The fact that football is the be and end all of the world.

I love rugby but it’s not as all-pervasive as football, I just make sure I am somewhere else doing something else.

We don’t do actually going shopping these days, apart from food, but if we do, he’s incapable of browsing. Which, to me, is the point of shopping. If it’s a TV, or most things technology though, he’ll stand and gaze for hours.

@WetBandits mine used to do this! Managed to curb it though as the kids where getting older!! So now it's vest and shorts 🤣

Dh loves to walk every fucking aisle in Asda. Fondly remembering when he worked there . Quotes managerial issues whilst we stroll. As if things haven't changed in 10 bloody years pet!! Do miss the discount card though! Dh's only other bad habit is breathing. Loudly in bed. Or maybe just at all!!

The quote from my darling husband, who is three decades older and uses it when we spend "a lot".

Owen Moore went out today, owing more than he could pay. Owen Moore.

It's an oldie and I'll remember this to the end of my days 😂

Can’t resist making a silly pun, even when I’m in the middle of saying something important. Just why. He knows I’m not going to laugh.

A very fitting username in that case

There’ll be a snippet of music in a film and he’ll start singing it and going “…aw brilliant track…reminds me of sixth form college…” I DON’T GIVE A SHIT, I’M WATCHING THE EFFING FILM 🤬

I recommend subtitles at all times to mitigate this one.

Football dictates his mood if his team win he's happy if they lose he's a misery, he will start showing clips on his phone of goals etc like he thinks I actually give a shit. I never used to mind football now I detest it

Falls asleep watching tv, I can't hear the TV so elbow him. He then denies being asleep and snoring 🙄

Oh yes. My DH seems to have hundreds of these just waiting for deployment.

Dh sneezing like a bomb going off.

When we are watching a series, he will never say the proper name of the show.
If he is saying we should watch an episode of breaking bad he will say "shall we watch the drug men". If it's taskmaster he will say "the tasking programme" the haunting of hill house was "creepy ghosty show".
It makes no difference but it pisses me off everytime.

Picking the very second the lights go off in the bedroom to talk about what needs to be done, ask questions, or just talk in general.

My off-switch is the same as the lights!!!

This.

And the bad puns (drop a pea on the floor? "Oh you've peed on the floor" kind of thing. EVERY BLOODY TIME)

Not seeing ANYTHING even if it in front of his face until I get up, point it out then sit down again.

Not listening. dear god not listening. 3 times in 15 minutes I told him I was busy Saturday afternoon. Half an hour later 'there's this brilliant event on Saturday afternoon, fancy going? No, because I fucking told you THREE BLOODY TIMES IM BUSY.

I did actually lose my shit with him that time.

This is infuriating. Pretty much every night I have to nudge DH to roll on his side to stop him snoring!
And every time he’ll say I’m not snoring!
Yeah ok, I wake you up for fun! Tit!

my DH is obsessed with sport.. any sport.. as long as its sport! he can sit for an entire day fixated on his laptop looking at sport, reading about sport, watching videos on sport. if we actually go to a match, he will then come home and re-watch the entire thing on playback.

if we go shopping, if i turn my back for a second, he has his head in his phone,, looking at sport.

he rambles.. just launches into little stories about sport.. I HATE BLOODY SPORT

Mine does this when we walk into Sainsbury's and my head is focussed entirely on the food shop. We’ll have sat in silence on the drive there but as soon as I get my head around the shopping list he’ll start going on about electricity bills or car servicing or the some abstract philosophical thought!

Also (I'm on a roll here) he will make a decision about something, I will tell him (sometimes) that's a really bad idea, he will then go ahead with said bad idea on principle and then I will be proven right and he expects me to be sympathetic as he now has a huge problem courtesy of his bad decision

I have to take 2 puffs of my Asthma preventer on a morning, and every time he asks me a bloody question. I've taken to standing and staring at him with my cheeks puffed out like a Hamster.

Mine is noisy. Very noisy. And I'm really sensitive to noise.

From the minute he gets up he whistles, constantly and cheerfully but fairly tunelessly. And he tends to whistle the same two or three bars of something - break off - pause and then start again. It does my head in.

He taps too. Or his foot jiggles. He can't stay still. If you say 'For God's Sake - be quiet! Or 'Stop whistling' he is surprised, upset and says 'Aren't I allowed to be cheerful?' in a hurt tone of voice.

I've put up with it for donkeys' years - but I suspect he might end up under the patio. I'm growing less tolerant as I get older.

Football. Fucking tedious game. Bf saying What? rather than Sorry, or Pardon? My mother would have killed him, lol.

If he passes me in the car, or sees me at a distance, he waves both his hands. Like some fucking kids entertainer. A finger raise would do, like a Yorkshire farmer.
