Wonder if many of us ladies have the same bug bears :)

In no particular order -

  1. Pees on the floor (MISSING THE LOO, NOT PURPOUSLY PEEING ANYWHERE )
  2. Easilly lead by friends
  3. Is a show off in front of people
  4. Does his best to try impress people, wants everyone to like him
  5. His past (know it shouldnt matter but still is in back of my head)
  6. Stroppy
  7. Messy

Manages to get toothpaste everyfuckingwhere

neiljames77 · 22/12/2013 00:36

sydlexic, I live with 3 women and we go through loads of toilet paper. The situation doesn't need making worse by me using even more. (sorry but that's the best excuse I can come up with)

Snores
Forgetful
Doesn't 'dab' (as we call it) after he pees
Has a bit of a temper (but then so do I sometimes)

However, he makes me feel worshipped 95% of the time so I try to forgive the above! Smile
Also thankful he forgives my annoying habits too! Grin

MikeWazowski · 22/12/2013 01:08

Tiamariaxxx - pleased for you he's got more good points than bad, now you just need to iron out those few niggles...

noslimbody · 22/12/2013 06:57

forgets to flush the loo
leaves piss and poo around the toilet,
says I complain too much about pee and poo, and apparently finding my hairs in bathroom is just as bad [hmmm]
is incapable of having a conversation without trying to turn it into a row
shouts over my voice
I accidentally pushed into him when walking past him yesterday and he thumped me in retaliation, he says he didn't and I am confused (I think I am)
He has been following me around since the incident and I want some space
Makes fun of my hobby which is knitting

coffeeandcream · 22/12/2013 07:12

The snoring, dear God the snoring. It sounds like a chainsaw on overdrive. Gives me the rage and I end up in the spare room most nights.

He sits down to pee so no problems there

Some of these are very sad though Sad

SELondonSwede · 22/12/2013 07:29

Complete refusal to see things about our house from my point of view

Mocks me when i try to explain things about our home that are important to me (never when it comes to other things though

Noisy and loud

Terrible time keeping, just terrible

Stubborn

dobedobedo · 22/12/2013 07:33

The pee on the loo or on the floor thing. Drives me nuts. I have politely requested that dh sits down while he pees but he thinks this is emasculating. Hmm
The way he always nags me when I leave my clothes on the floor at the end of the day. Grin

Hohohowhatfuckeryitis · 22/12/2013 07:44

Lazy arse cunt
Hoarder
Snores
Was looking forward to some bedtime fun, he had a fucking kebab. (So don't want to even be in the same room)
Crap kisser

Hohohowhatfuckeryitis · 22/12/2013 07:48

Oh the temper on him too. (Not so much these days, but it used to be every trip out would end up with me in tears) I told him he was turning into his dad and it stopped.

bubalou · 22/12/2013 09:50

My DH -

  • doesn't see what a nightmare his mum is
  • loves his job too much
  • very reluctant to do housework
  • gets up really early and makes me feel lazy when I lie in past 7am
  • farts too much (don't they all)

However he is a fab husband, an awesome dad and makes me feel like the most beautiful person in the world with the way he talks to and treats me so I think i might keep him. (For now) Wink

TheBrotherHoodOfSteel · 22/12/2013 12:20

Pissing on the floor Angry I always step in it with my bare feet!

Cleorapter · 22/12/2013 13:35

*leaves his clothes in a pile on the floor NEXT TO the washing basket.
*always late! flakey as hell.
*leaves the toilet seat up.
*hasn't cleaned the bathroom a single time since we've lived together.
*can be quite selfish.
*rubbish with money.

He's alright though, they're just little annoyances.

Pollydingdonmerrilyonhigh · 22/12/2013 14:18

noslim he thumped you ? Shock What a cunt Angry

EvenBetter · 22/12/2013 14:47

Fucking hell this thread is depressing.
Do that many people really have such low standards?
Grim.

SofaKing · 22/12/2013 15:08

Is completely incapable of cleaning a single thing, picking up after himself in any way, completing a simple household task correctly, or of wearing trousers which cover his bum.

Other than that he is lovely, kind, considerate and worships the ground I walk on. I feel the same about him which is why I haven't strangled his messy self yet!

TotallyBursarforHogswatch · 22/12/2013 18:29

Fucking hell, some posts are not normal 'everyone has their faults' things. I know I've already started a derail but don't want to go completely off piste so - every one deserves respectful and loving behaviour from a partner. If behaviour is unacceptable (or even illegal - you can't thump people, also look up 'gaslighting') to a stranger in the street & doesn't happen to strangers/authority figures/in public then it's entirely under control and it's just as unacceptable for a spouse to be targeted to be on the receiving end of it.

As to the thread - the only thing is the ongoing battle of the toilet roll (I like it to pull over, he likes it to pull under off the holder) neither of us is wrong apart from him but it has become A Thing. If he pisses me off I glue the roll to the holder so he can't swap it, if I piss him off he steals the holder knobs so the roll has to be propped up and I never bloody notice he put it up high until I've sat down. Remarkably since the war of Andrex began small irritations have completely stopped.

MerryFuckingChristmas · 22/12/2013 18:31

Some women on here seriously need to LTB

How fucking depressing

cantheyseeme · 22/12/2013 18:41

Yama · 22/12/2013 19:02

No to all seven. Yes, I agree that this thread is depressing. My Mum and both my SIL's would say no too thankfully.

WitchWay · 22/12/2013 19:02

Does no housework/cooking at all Hmm
Late for every single mealtime, even when asked when he would like it & given countdown warnings till it's on the table Angry
Late for every social occasion Angry
Never throws anything away (magazines, clothes, boxes for random stuff) so out house looks like one of those hoarder programmes & gets cross with me if I mention it or try to clear any of it Angry
Never "does" paperwork - there is unopened post going back years & late tax returns hanging over him etc etc Confused

Never any pee problems though Grin

WitchWay · 22/12/2013 19:04

OUR house not OUT house - if we had an outhouse it would also be full of clutter Hmm
