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 interrupts me when I am reading to tell me something he's read himself, or seen on a Facebook reel.

I don't care. I am reading! You read/watch your thing and I will read mine!

This made me laugh! At least he's pleased to see you!

Ah yes the what instead of pardon really grates me. Along with not shutting the bloody bin cupboard. Seems to have a blind spot on that being open yet manages to shut every other cupboard

Changes random words to songs on the radio and thinks it's hilarious. Sneezes, breathes and snores louder than a bomb going off. Is ageing far better than me. But the one that gets me more than any of these? Listing every fucking item on the shelf, menu, website etc if I'm trying to make a choice, like I have suddenly lost the power of sight.

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

This is a class thing though. Like lavatory or loo versus toilet.

Mine does this when I've just woken up. And am not technically human. He could say 'I'm going to set your hair on fire and paint your arse blue now,' and I would say 'Hmm, yes, yeah...'. Nothing goes into, or comes out of, my brain until at least my second cuppa.

Aargh, grrr, yes!

Refusing to sleep with the curtains closed. I used to think it was endearing. Now I think it's irritating. Putting "stuff" vinegar, soy sauce, mustard on everything I cook before he tastes it. One day I'm going to poison him, just for a laugh. Honestly I could go on forever, he is really really irritating.

I can't stop laughing. That's so funny.

He starts a TV programme or a film and immediately gets up to get a drink. Every fucking time. Then he comes back in and says oh what's happened so far. Every fucking time. Without fail. I now refuse to tell him. Randomly, in the middle of the TV programme or film saying oh that's so and so pointing to some random actor. Them telling me the last five films the actor has been in.

Ong mine does that as well, it's so annoying- I've said I don't care what they've been on before, I'm watching this

Mine gets really snappy and irrational when he's hungry, then may even prepare food before martyring himself into "only eating it when all the jobs are done". Will invent an urgent job that couldn't possibly wait, like sweeping up or folding some clothes.
Then eventually he'll eat, feel happier and text or say "sorry for being a dick, I was hungry". .
Probably 4 or 5 times a week.

This would really give me the ick

just cringy and embarrassing

🙄🙄

Oh my days 🤣

Oh, and his cultural interests largely consist of what I call his 'Pixies and Robots', i.e. Tolkienesque fantasy stuff and Star Wars sci-fi. He accepts this terminology and will say 'I need an hour to watch my Pixies tonight' or 'There's a new Robots show on Disney Plus'...

He's not mine so I can find that adorable... 🤗

I’m an early riser and like to do wordle, connections etc and catch up with mumsnet read a highbrow book - DH gets up, walks into living room, puts on Frasier/news/jeremy vine really loud then walks back out the room to “get ready”! Apparently he likes the TV on for “background noise” but he’s not even in the frigging room!

When he coughs, he dramatic coughs. Like makes it really really clear “I have a cough, listen to and acknowledge it.”

Makes a strange noise at the end of it just to confirm the coughing definitely exists.

Get a drink, sir.

But OP @cheesecadet , you asked why we put up with it? Because I have no doubt I do dickish things too! After nearly 35 years of marriage it is our common bond and we're both so weird that no one else will have us, tralala! 🤪

This is hilarious 😹

"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."

Yes. Oh yes. Urgh.
Also- if I ask any question starting with "Do you know..." say for example, "Do you know the code to defuse this massive bomb that is eight seconds from detonation?" I get as far as "Do you know.." and he jumps in singing .."..the way to AMARILLO" whilst dad dancing. I put up with it now, as "Just fucking stop it" produces the whole bloody song.

Whenever Katie Razzall comes on telly he says 'razzle dazzle'. I mean it wasn't amusing the first time.

What I’ve gained from this is that people are far more interesting than they appear on the surface 😂

These are absolutely hilarious. Have to say I have none about my husband…so I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m the annoying one 😂
