Getting on my nerves a bit

4 replies

Don't know what it is lately but my DP is constantly getting on my nerves, he seems so much hard work and is constantly demanding time and effort.

For instance if he's sat watching tv or busy in some other way I think to myself "right, I'll have 10 minutes on the net, check my bank, read some forums and check my email..." so I go upstairs, turn on the PC and seconds later I hear footsteps coming up the stairs, DP then walks in and sits on the bed directly behind me making conversation or generally just watching me it makes me cross because whilst he's there I can't read the forums as I like them to remain 'mine' and not 'ours', I can't check my email incase I get something off a forum etc and if I try to read the news he's constantly saying "oo click on that.." and "what's that one going on about, let's see..."

Apart from this its just general annoyances, constantly asking "what's up?" when I'm busy doing something or "here come and look at this.." whilst I'm up a ladder painting

I'm sure he deliberately mishears me too, for instance I'll say something like "I can't think what to have for tea", he's respond with "what you say?" so I'll repeat it only for him to shout "eh??" so I'll repeat it again (a bit stroppier!) and he'll say something idiotic like "You can't think for all three???" duh...

It just seems like such hard work sometimes, am I just being a stroppy moo?? ae other blokes like this?

I would poke him in the eye if my dh did that to me while i was on the pc.

I feel like it sometimes, it's like I just can't have 10 minutes to myself.

Seriously, that would do my head in!

My dh does the "eh?" thing, drives me up the wall, there is nothing worse than repeating yourself.

The pc thing, i would just say "look can i just have 10 mins peace without being disturbed i have stuff i need to do"

my dh used to do the mishearing thing for comedic effect.... he stopped when i explained it annoyed me though. it is hard to live with somebody lese sometimes isn't it?
