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?

If I pass him something to look at, an article from a website or a meme or whatever...that I've clearly just read as I've said 'oh look at this' he then reads it out loud...

When he sees a double bed in real life or in a film etc he will always say "oh, the main workshop, broom broom". I grit my teeth.

You have nailed that description! 😄

Still gets asked for ID at the age of 38. Revolting. Makes me ill. I don’t get get asked anymore and I’m 8 years younger than him 🥲

I do hope you've watched Withnail and I... 'I have a heart condition. If you hit me, it's murder.'

🤗

The sulking! He strops about when he's not happy, insisting nothing wrong.

It's annoying but he makes up for it in other ways and we've been together 20 years. I've found long term relationships require a lot of patience and compromise (as well as mutual respect).

Whistles. A lot.

Ask questions (about things he either should know or things I can't possibly know). A lot.

Ew 😂

If you had said 'I have 3 cats,' we could have guessed the rest...

Adore, check. Annoyance of living shit out of hoomin slave, check.

😸😸😸

Whistles, no. Asks questions, of for the love of god, yes... 😩 Worst is when he asks a 'we' question as a way of trying to trick or goad or nag me, like 'when are we making supper'. Me, that's me making supper. 'When are we heading out?' to make me hurry up.

Also when he's been WFH for too long and gets enmeshed and asks child-to-mummy questions like 'should I put a jumper on?' and 'will I need a hat?' and that is a fast-track ticket to the ick, let me tell you... 🤢

@lazyarse123 my DH does that too, I will leave the room when sport is on now but he will make sure he keeps me up to date with it even though he knows I don't bloody care! His friend will then start texting about said sport and the text chat will be late at night when i want to relax or sleep and they will keep on for ages with phone pinging every few seconds. He will also find something online he thinks is really interesting and start reading the whole thing to me, speaking super fast as there is loads to get through and he gets really frustrated as I glaze over with boredom and wish he would just stop.

I'm divorced and so intolerant of men's minor bad habits I don't think I could live with one again! Everyone has their annoying little foibles but I'm so used to my own space. Of course my kids and my cat can be very irritating but that's totally different! 😂

DH does sooo many of these but at least I am spared the football stuff (although 6 nations rugby takes over Feb and March).

One of my particular peeves is that if something isn't working he HAS to do the exact things I have been doing to try and make it work - as if somehow he is magic or I am pressing the button in the wrong way. It irritates the hell out of me.

This made me laugh I'm married to an ex supermarket manager. There's nothing he likes better than prowling down every isle picking fault, and then worse of all finding a manager to complain about it. I go shopping on my own now 🤣

You have my sympathies. Mine started watching videos of some bloke walking round "interesting" places tried to show me some of Cornwall because we were going on holiday. I had to shout at him "what's the point of looking there'll be no point in going ourselves?" So now he watches with the sound off and just mentions somewhere it might be nice to visit.

Oh yes, I do this. Take my trousers off the minute I get home!

Mine puts a "ies/y" on the end of everything.

Like a child.

It makes me want to murder him

"Off to workies; I love the shooty section of the Olympics; let's get something lunchy; I want to do something relaxy"

This man has a fucking doctorate and wears a suit. I despair.

I wonder if any men view the whipping off of bras upon getting home the same way as the whipping off of trousers.

Mine gets up in the middle of eating (toast / dinner / whatever) and go off doing something - checking his phone or measuring something.

Yesterday was the worst though because he went shopping IN THE MIDDLE OF DINNER.

Sitting together at the dining table, eating, then when I mention something I needed he got up, went out and drove off.

I called him and was like "NOT RIGHT NOW YOU IDIOT".

Normal in every other way, smart etc but according to his family he's been like this woth food all his life 🤣🤣🤣

Lol.
Apparently responding Yes is seen as sounding daft to my Mr What.

He eats far more than me but never puts weight on

Supper will be ready in five minutes, I tell him - turn around and he's standing in front of the fridge, stuffing food into his mouth. 'FIVE MINUTES!' 'Yes, sorry sorry, you're right...'.

And it's always literally five minutes, I don't say 'five minutes' and then it turns into 20 - I say 'end game' and finish a sauce or start plating up, but nooo... stand and stuff...

Well, I’m very pleased to see that I’m not alone in having a man roaming around the place in just his pants

Pretty much everything. Haha.
People in general but obviously if you live with someone they annoy you more.
The one thing that annoys me is there seems to be an invisible line of when a conversation suddenly becomes unacceptable. A line I always seem to cross. The subject could be raised by them, so I start talking about it, then suddenly it's 'why do you always have to take things too far?'
I never know what I've done wrong so just respond with 'well, I don't think I take them far enough!'

No .... THREE !! 😱 I was in the middle of telling him something important whilst cooking and needed some kitchen roll ... 'that's torn it!!' followed by loud guffawing ... one of many many little unfunny puns throughout every conversation. Just this morning I was talking about seeing a friend and got as far as 'I see ..' (you would honestly think I knew better) to be interrupted with 'a little scaramouche can you do the FANDANGO - Fandango was sung in a hammy Spanish accent .. Faaaannnndaaaaarngoh! followed by snorting. I lost my train of thought with the picture of stabbing him and how long I would spend in prison and would it be worth it (maybe). Every sneeze makes me peel myself off the ceiling .. But then I am a moody old bag with a fascination for decorative salad bowls and grunge music, so ....
