To fantasise about mariticide when my DH is being a knob

lighthearted post

I’ll preface it by saying my DH is a wonderful husband and father. He’s great with DIY, he works hard and he’d do literally anything for all of us…

But! There are times when I could throttle him with my own two hands, with glee!

Couple of examples:
-just now, I went to pick up my parcel from the kitchen counter where I left it, it’s no longer there. I asked DH where it was, he immediately replies (without even looking up) “I haven’t seen it”
This is his default, preprogrammed response to any query about any item and its whereabouts. Even if I’ve literally seen him move said item. I then proceed to check all round the house while he doesn’t move a muscle.
Now, if the shoe was on the other foot, I get up and help with the search, and don’t stop until it’s found…

-practically every time I clean the kitchen top to bottom, that is the day he decides he must eat toast, immediately. So out comes the toaster. Bread and toast crumbs then get flung far and wide, as well as being left behind in the butter.
His attempt at cleaning up after himself basically amounts to just picking up the chopping board and sweeping any crumbs on that into the sink-but leaving behind the ones splattered all over the work surface 🤦🏻‍♀️

Since he’s actually a brilliant Dad, and Husband-am I being unreasonable for enjoying these fleeting fantasies every time he does something small that really irks me 🤣

Only if you're a Protestant. I'm told!

Not in my sample size, they’re definitely Catholic - I’ve attended their weddings and baptisms Grin

There's three men in my house -dh, ds and the dog I always say the house would be a damm sight cleaner without them.

My dh-

Beard trim, little hairs everywhere. He cleans the main ones but misses the ones behind the soap, toothpaste etc and those on the floor.

Running the tap in the kitchen. He puts it on full so when it hits the sink or any pots in there it creates a jet stream that leaves water everywhere.
