It used to make me feel so angry when my dp would sigh. he's do it all.the.time. it got to the point where i would sometimes confuse his actual breathing with a sigh because i was so alert to it.

we broke up.

I just couldn’t live with a man again! (Ds1 & ds2 accepted of course - although even ds2 has pushed his luck today..) I love my single life and my girly bedroom and not being answerable to anyone..

Tape him. Cruel but necessary. Tell him next time he says he wasn’t asleep that you are going to tape him snoring to prove it.

This prompted my DH to have laser treatment that got rid of 80% of his snoring.

The nose blow. Oh my god the nose blow. It is the loudest sound ever and it's the first thing I hear most mornings.

Sitting around in his pants. Leaving it til the last possible minute to get showered and properly dressed for the day. Asking stupid questions. Tidying up after the teens all the time when I'm trying to house train them. Not making an effort with my local friends. Constantly changing the radio station and then leaving the room. Making such a song and dance about mowing the lawn (it takes 45 minutes tops, less time than I spend on laundry every day).

A more rational pet hate is that he licks the spoon whilst cooking and then continues to stir the pot with it. He doesn’t see the issue as he says it’s no more disgusting than kissing a person

Get a yoghurt that he'll eat, lick the spoon and shove it in the yogurt for a while until the saliva enzymes start digesting the food (it's visible) then ask him to eat it if it's no big deal.

Mine falls asleep on his chair every.single.night noisily. I've done up my own living room because I'm tired of asking him to go to bed. Funny he's now started to bugger off to bed when I make a move to go in the other room for the rest of the night though Hmm

He hates the way I use the kitchen roll still attached to the roll and just use a fresh piece later on until it gets longer and longer. He does a little foot Stampy exasperated thing Grin

Huh?! You mean you don’t tear it off?

my dh constantly leaves his socks on the floor or very occasionally if im lucky he will put his washing next or on top of the wash bin! he doesn't load the dish washer properly and puts glasses and cups where the pots should go,takes him at least 20/30mins for a shit that I have to do in 2 mins while kids are constantly opening the door. And also farting very loudly while I'm speaking to him Confused the list could go on but.... I love him enough to leave it there lol!

gamerchick · 31/05/2019 18:07

No, I like it there for when he does the dishes as he manages to soak the surrounding area. Then I'll use the big clump of used bit to dry the kitchen. Saves my blood pressure.

Him "mumble, mumble, mumble."
Me "pardon?"
Him "mumble, mumble, mumble."
Me "pardon?"
Him "mumble, mumble, mumble."
Me "fuck off!"

Oh God - the tissue corkscrewed up nostrils. No. Just no.

Boobahs · 31/05/2019 18:47

@IDontDrinkTea I hear you! Grin I sit at night breastfeeding our 15 day old baby while he is snoring away and our 3 year old is spreadeagled in the middle of the bed and I'm raging!

sar302 · 31/05/2019 18:51

I have a sigher too. He's had a cold, so the sighs are currently interspersed by the sound of him apparently drowning in his own snot. I'm aware I don't sound very compassionate, but FOR FUCKS SAKE BLOW YOUR NOSE.

golddustwomen · 31/05/2019 18:53

My oh eats like a pig. Also when he drinks he licks his lips 3 times after eat gulp.

Ruddygreattiger2016 · 31/05/2019 19:00

Breathing. Being awake. Ugly fucking man feet. It was kinder to divorce him cos the alternative was running him over. Repeatedly. Just kidding (but not really).

PrincessSarene · 31/05/2019 19:02

When I ask him a question and he replies, but without actually answering the bloody question!!! I pull him up on it now but he still does it sometimes and every time I feel my blood pressure shoot up!

bwydda · 31/05/2019 19:06

Mine sighs!!! It's awful isn't it?

That said I repeat "are you all right love?" At least 10 tones a day because he's either sighing or quiet. I can't help it but it drives him mad. There's balance there.

PeoniesarePink · 31/05/2019 19:12

Asking questions. Endlessly. It drives me round the bend. Every single day.

Sneezing so loudly it can be heard 10 miles away and making me and the dogs jump...... and it's not just a sneeze, it's like a theatre production. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhh ahhhhhhhh ahhhhh achooooooooooooooo. It's like a combo of a bad porno and mr bean.

His method of "tidying" involves putting everything away in a cupboard or drawer. Or he throws it away.

Boobahs · 31/05/2019 20:31

Yes to the mindless questions about Every. Single. Thing.

Yes to the emptying the bin (only when told to) and never replacing the bag.

Yes to the leaving everything until the last minute.

Insisting on getting changed into his "scruffs" every time we come in, even if we're only home for 15 mins before leaving again. Just get fucking dressed properly in the mornings like everyone else! Angry

Thinking that you get anywhere you need to be in 10 mins. Need to be somewhere at 11am and it's a 40 min drive away, aaah leave at 10.50am, it'll be fine! Angry

Hanging out the washing and not putting the baskets back where they go Angry

Washing up but leaving crumbs and stains all over the worktop Angry

Leaving his socks and slippers all over the living room floor, either wear them or don't! Angry
