Is It just me or would this annoy you? I’m perimenopausal so I’m prepared to be told it’s me being overly sensitive.
My DH is literally driving me insane. He makes so much noise. ALL. THE. TIME.
He coughs constantly, a loud hacking cough - it gets right on my nerves. There’s no serious cause (and I’m sure about that) and it’s been going on for years. It shatters my peace and cuts right through silence every time he does it (hundreds of times a day). Totally gets my back up and causes me stress.
He sneezes so loud you would hear him at the end of the street. Not once, twice, three times, but over and over and he tries to make himself sneeze so it goes on as long as he can make it (God knows why).
He picks at his skin constantly - fingers, nails, feet - it ‘clicks’ and the sofa vibrates every time he does it and he gets annoyed when I ask him to stop.
He plays music of his own choice from the minute he wakes up till the minute he goes to bed at night. Never asks what I might like to listen to. He can’t function without it.
If he’s in the kitchen, the drawers bang when he opens and closes them, the cupboards bang the same, the music blares whilst he does it.
He talks loudly all the time, even when I talk to him about things, he pretty much shouts back - he cannot speak quietly.
The noise he makes, puts me on edge every single day. It also doesn’t help that if I ask him to make less noise, he moans and gets huffy and is a fecking pain, as if I’m asking him to poke his own eyes out.
I’m pretty sure he has undiagnosed ADHD but he’ll not do anything about that (not that that would be a reason for everything of course).
I can no longer sleep beside him because he also snores so loudly - if he falls asleep on the sofa in the lounge, I either can’t get to sleep upstairs in bed or he’ll wake me up. He also twitches in his sleep, which makes that all worse too.
I’m absolutely demented and totally worn out with it all. AIBU and is that just normal generally and I’m being intolerant or would that drive you nuts too?
