Mine i would like, to lose a little weight.
He is carrying a little too much timber.

Everything.

compo · 28/04/2009 20:58

yes sadly the same , he weighs about 16 stone 11
would love it if his bmi was healthy to stop me worrying

sleepwhenidie · 28/04/2009 20:59

can't help wondering what kind of a flaming a man would get if he put OP on here about wife

gibbberish · 28/04/2009 21:01

His untidiness.

His addiction to all things sport related.

His tendency to lapse into a strange SA/Brummie accent when he's had a few.

But he did just buy me a gorgeous DKNY watch so I can give him a few more days to change

screamingabdab · 28/04/2009 21:02

His enormous

Hassled · 28/04/2009 21:02

His bloody incessant loud snoring.

luckylady74 · 28/04/2009 21:03

I would like him to give me compliments, stop all audible flatulence and clean the toilet.
On balance it's been 10 yrs and I wouldn't change anything else so that's quite good really.

Paolosgirl · 28/04/2009 21:05

His weight - about 16/17 stone, which is double mine. It doesn't help his high blood pressure either - very worrying.

His untidiness. Drives me mad - although he's got a lot better over the 15 years we've been together!

TheCrackFox · 28/04/2009 21:09

Apart from the odd bout of snoring I like him the way he is.

FeelingOld · 28/04/2009 22:02

Nothing apart from wish he would work less hours so he could spend more time with me !

MrsTittleMouse · 28/04/2009 22:04

Nothing. He has his little quirks, but I would hate to get rid of them if I couldn't magically get them back. Things work well as we are and I don't want to mess with it.

That hed been faithful!! apart from that nothing

BitOfFun · 28/04/2009 22:19

Not a thing, honestly.

elastamum · 28/04/2009 22:24

Mine has turned into a complete w**ker with his mid life crisis. Would happily swap him for another dog

ginnny · 28/04/2009 22:24

That is really debs05.
I would like mine to stop drinking, lose weight and stop snoring.
But that's just one thing really because the first one will lead to the other two

debs05 · 28/04/2009 22:35

Last year my answer would of been nothing, cos when you love someone you accept all their faults. I would and can accept anything but betrayal. Smelly socks, skidmarks on pants, shit stains on the toilet, morning breath and evening breath. Untidyness, unthoughtfullness, carelessness, cross dressing, lateness, forgetfullness, smelly willy etc I can acccept the lot because I loved you. But not cheating!!

By the way he didnt cross dress but he had terrible skid marks and his willy was stinky

GnarleyBunkles · 28/04/2009 22:39

now if you asked what would i like to change (IOW swap) with my man...

Weight (i am chunky and he is skinny)
Tidiness
Annoying innate ability to fix things (i would swap that for my innate ability to forget things
Sense of direction
Memory for faces (mine memory is just rubbish)

But the only thing i would change is i would like him not to get so annoyed about my faults.

OMG...how trite.

Sorry folks...carry on.

WantManualForKids · 29/04/2009 07:37

I can't think of anything significant I would change about DP. Perhaps DPs inability to even notice untidiness let alone do anything about it - but then that's pretty trivial & I rather enjoy tidying up (Freak alert);I know DP would change some things about herself physically (but then she's a 5'7" size 8 and I happen think she's the next best thing to perfect).

I'm the one that needs to change! I have never fully stopped smoking (weak / idiot). I occasionally snore & when I do DW may as well be trying to sleep next to a chainsaw... poor thing.

Bit lame really. I guess that must be good news?

StercusAccidit · 29/04/2009 07:56

PMSFL @ Debs

Its helpful to think of these things sometimes.. it helps ya to remember why you dumped them.. instead of mooning about their good points and being upset about splitting.

v theraputic

Smelly willy.. hehe
His name wasn't...nah...

risingstar · 29/04/2009 08:08

the need for minute by minute instructions

for him to describe me as beautiful- he says this daily- but it is about his dinner

the fact that he snores dreadfully

thats it....not complaining really

PlumpRumpSoggyBaps · 29/04/2009 08:19

Two tiny things- the way it sounds when he eats (v sloshy, like a washing machine) and the way he completely blanks me when I talk to him sometimes.

Otherwise, nothing at all. He's pretty damned good, all in all.

StercusAccidit · 29/04/2009 08:26

To be fair the only thing i would have changed about my XP was his temper and inability to stay off internet dating sites

The XP before that, i would have only changed his feet because GOD ALMIGHTY they were on par with a nuclear weapon.

What would i change about myself? My taste in men and my seeming inability to spot the nobjockeys.

PortoPandemico · 29/04/2009 09:37

Mine's lovely mostly, but i wouldn't mind exchanging for George Clooney just for the weekend.

Surfermum · 29/04/2009 09:42

I really wish dh didn't have to suffer on a daily basis from his experiences in the Falklands. He still says that he only has to close his eyes and he's there ... I wish I could replace that picture for him .
