EXAGGERATING

Just wanted to start a little support thread for those of us who have partners whose exaggeration drives them a teeny bit nuts.

DH is an exaggerator. Always has been, always will be (I've tried!). For context, he's a great husband, I love him dearly, great dad etc etc but he exaggerates on a daily basis. It causes no issues other than an eye roll from me...please tell me I'm not the only one!

If it causes no issues, ignore it.
I am sure if he put his head to it, he could come up if a list of things you irritate him with.
My DH is a stickler for precision. His times are exact to the minute (I'll be back in 15, no 17 minutes), his measurements are exact (The children ate 7/8 of the melon), his opinions are well researched and cover every aspect of the topic. You get the picture.
I cannot live up to that standard, I'd need a personality transplant and I do not want to become his clone.
