Really stupid things you and your DP/DH have had massive rows about....

[PuppyMonkey]

Me and DP had a corker last night - he thumped the wall and strode off to bed early in a huff. The works. Because...... wait for it.....

We were watching that Red Riding thing on TV and I was trying to explain the plot. And he wasn't understanding and I was getting very impatient telling him the same thing over and over. It got REALLY HEATED.

Honestly, I nearly felt like divorcing him except we've never actually got married.

We kissed and made up this morning though.

Directions in the car.
Bought a Tom Tom and seriously has improved our marriage, no stress!

It wasn't a blazing row but we did once have quite a heated discussion because I said I'd had half a twix meaning one finger,

and he said that's not half a twix, that's a whole twix,

and I said the packet of two fingers is called a twix so if you eat one finger you have had half a twix,

and he said no, half a twix is one finger

and I said

Still unresolved.

We love our philosophical intellectual intercourse.

aagh, he said half a twix is half a finger

not that anyone gives a shit!

Oh geez, we have squabbled over such stupid things - most recently was the house phone's 'ringtone'. I love it when it gets so tense that you start laughing

time travel explanation in back to the future - i dont get it and it made dh cross

Ooooo tough one Balloon! I have bought a 'single' twix before... maybe it's a word like sheep? A twix... many twix...

oh yes, the time travel thing. DP always tries to explain it to me (he thinks he's an expert in all things sci-fi) and I think he's wrong, but of course he doesn't.

Always ends up in massive rows. Stupid really.

Had an argument the other day about him doing the washing up in the morning. I thought he was doing it to upset me. What?!

Balloon, that is just the kind of thing that we would row about!

I must admit when he stormed off last night and even though I was dead cross etc, I did PMSL a bit after a few mins.

Whether the curtain rail was straight or not. He said it was because he'd used a spirit level, but I said it wasn't because he should have lined it up with the top of the window, which is a bit wonky.

After much shouting I said 'I can hear your father's voice now saying 'X, listen to your wife, she is right'!

Below the belt of me because his dad had died a few months before and he was still missing him badly

TV remote, i swear one day he will need surgery to get it back

I tried to tell him that "Twix" was the name for whatever lay within the pack, so if it was a single twix, then half would indeed be half a finger but in a double twix, half was one finger.

I went on to illustrate my example by using the word "Twins."

"You don't call one of a pair of twins half a twin, do you?" I crowed, before suddenly realising I was arguing his point and should shut the feck up at my earliest convenience.

Putting the plastic bag in the Brabantia bin properly so that it does not dangle down but side and fits neatly and properly under the rim.

I do it properly, my wife just shoves it in and leaves a bit of the plastic showing. It drives me nuts and I show here how to do it and then we argue because she says it does not matter and IT DOES MATTER!

We argue becuase DP is a bloomin perfectionist.

He 'rearranges' (sp?) our wires and tv/dvd player/xbox about 6 times a day becuase something willbe slightly off center. I drives my nucking futs.

Oh yes, we also arguse about whether our downstairs toilet door should be shut or open when not in use. I say shut as who want to see inside your loo? And he says open.

The washing up. To be more exact, me leaving things to soak (crusty pans and the like). It used to drive him crazy and I actually threw him out once after one of these rows. Now we have a dishwasher and life is much more harmonious.

Having the soffits and fascias cleaned by the window cleaner. He refused to pay him £60 to do it and told me he'd do it himself. that was May last year. I gave up on his approach and got the guy to do them this week. Dh went ballistic.

What is the plural of Rubarb?

Honestly, its not even his native language FFS!

also need to check my spelling, ahem 'Rhubarb'

The half a Twix debacle sounds like the "rounds of toast" controversy all over again...

Had a blazing row the other day about where to get chips. Seriously.

We had a huge one about whether or not it was 'normal' to have a boiled egg with a traditional english breakfast! DH insisted yes! as boiled eggs are very british! I insisted it should be a fried egg or possibly poached! and bolied eggs are a seperate option! We didn't speak all day!! wtf?

Latest one? Whether the wall with the bloody great hideous unwanted TV on it can be sullied by also having pictures of the kids on.

Guess which idiot of us thinks a wall with just a TV is a calm, minimalist statement of modern living? And guess which one is going to glue the kids' next craft project on the screen if he goes on about it any more?

I am enjoying the Twix arguement. That is a very good one.
