What's the thing that absolutely drives you nuts about yor SO?
I mean, that one thing that you would erase from his DNA if you could?....
Slurping while eatin soup? Always leaving the toothpaste squeezed in the middle?
Never helping in clearing the table? Saying the same joke over and over again?
For me it was that he would never called me to let me know if he wasn't coming home for dinner... AGHRRRR # 1
And NEVER, ever changed lane at the traffic light to go to an empyt one....even if in our lane we might have 5 cars in front of us....AGHRRR. #2

He is ALWAYS late....drives me crazy. I think lateness is such an act of selfishness.

She repeatedly while talking to me stops mid-sentence. Then she starts talking about something completely unrelated, leaving me saying What the F!
Even with that annoying trait, I love her more than life, and cannot get mad at her for it!

Jenna:
oh, i am with you on this one too....and i agree with you...being late shows selfishness, like ...my time is more important than your time...
Frln:
My ex mother-in-law used to do the same with my ex father-in-law......i mean, constantly...and he too couldn't live without her! :-)

Its almost therapeutic, isn't it?
I mean, vent out this small annoyances
Scaly, you had to think about it, though.....
I found it amazing that there are so small "defects" between people living together for long time....

i have a much lower tolerance for clutter than she does. but that's OK, cuz if that's the worst thing, i'm still pretty damned lucky. :>

hmm...i think that would be dropping his clothes anywhere
in my room whenever he is around. he can't seem to pick
up after himself. but it;s not really a big thing...i like
serving him:-)

I'm with you Ginger on the phoning...my husband doesn't phone home to say he's going to be late and that drives me crazy because it's so inconsiderate!!
He's also a SLOB. Where it drops is where it stays. Ex. every single morning next to his side of the bed is whatever he happened to wear before he got in bed the night before.
And one more thing - he spits the toothpaste in the sink and doesn't always rinse the sink! We've had knock down drag outs over that when we lived with one bathroom.
Oh oh and one more - he drinks milk out of the gallon! THAT IS GROSS!

i hate it when he disregards my job (and to think that i am earning more is another matter)! when one of the kids is sick, it's always me who is suppose to take the day off work. i love taking care of my kids but once in awhile i expect him to volunteer (this is also his responsibility).
another thing, he always turn off his cellphone when he's with friends (and definitely will go home very late).

Silver.....cluttering was what i was doing the best, in his eyes naturally, so i know that kind of feelings...but see, he was coming from 9 years in the military so he considered "accessory" almost everything in our house beside a bed and a desk and a sink.....but you should have looked in his garage...oh, well, that was another story....
Secret....yeah, jeans especially.....and dirty socks...
Totally....join the club with me and Secret....it seems this phone thingie is pretty popular between husbands.... Years of protest, querrels, fights...nothing...that man would go and leave and come back and only rarely would answer my damn calls. It must be in their DNA. :-)
Scaly.....if your wife refuses to repeat you refuse to listen...,
maybe she wil get the messahe one day.....:-)
Daring......i have to admit i was guilty of that....i sometimes did have the pretense that he should have to guess what i had in my mind.....but i learned my lesson.... it's just that you think well, he should knwo by now why do i have to explain everything anytime? But its' a no win situation...it's a false base for communication...
sigroid.....you like serving him? Does he serve you as well?
But maybe she is just forgetful about you hearing problem....

I would have to say what annoyed me was that he tends to be messy, he doesn't do wash until he has absolutely no clothes left meaning loads of wash are huge, and talking to other people while on the phone with me....

The ONLY thing about honey that drives me crazy is he chews tobacco. No, he is not redneck. It's an athletic thing, he says. He grew up in the era when baseball players, whom he emulated, chewed tobacco. He wants to quit, but we've had one trauma with family after another, and it hasn't been a good time to try to quit. I love him dearly, but I think it's nasty and sooooo unhealthy. I will admit, he is very discreet about it..that is the only way I can tolerate it.

My husband's habit of making corny jokes and dopey puns. Every now and then, he hits a good one, and it makes me laugh. But most of them are a real stretch. And it's constant. I have threatened, I have asked politely, I have asked not so politely. He's gotten the silent treatment.
There are times and conversations where these corny remarks are inappropriate, but he seems to not get that. It's gotten to the point where sometimes I don't bring things up because I just cannot take any more of his brand of humor.
Why would someone keep doing something when another has asked him to dial back a bit?

Lovethebeach.....i agree with you...that's gross! And you are right...its' unhealthy. i read a story about a guy developing mouth cancer from chewing constantly tobacco.
But i know its hard to quit. The nicotine enter in the body so fast....
My ex had a friend with the same habit...i always thought...how can his girl kissing him?
You are right to put some boundaries...one day he will thank you....
Dearie.......i don't have an answer to your question and you do have a good point here.
I had a boyfriend that used to do the same ....toilet humor jokes..the worst for me..i dont laugh at them... sorry, i cant'.
But he wouldn't care...and used to repeat and repeat the same one...he was the only one laughing...It was annoying....
He didn't change even after my constant remarks.
Luckily i could get rid of him...LOL
I came to the conclusion that for some people is like a safety blanket....maybe their social skills are not that great and some time ago somebody did laugh at them telling these jokes...so they repeat the mechanism that made them feel funny, important, cool...
