Things your SO do that annoy you

[~BEBZ~]

Before I got married I thought I was in love many times. Whenever that other person did something that got on my nerves I purposefully ignored it. I had stars in my eyes, that person could do no wrong. Now that I have actually found true love, I noticed that all the things my husband does are just a part of him. I love him, faults and all. Do I gloss over them? No. If something he does bugs me I'll usually bring it up to him. Training a husband is sooo hard! LOL!

Anywho, back to my question. Are there things that your SO does that really annoy you?

One of my biggest problems is that he throws stuff away. Not just trash, I don't have a problem with that. No, he will go clean out the car or pick up around the house and just throw things away without looking at them or asking if they are important. :doh2: The last thing was my son's Ritalin prescriptions. I had to beg the doctors for two weeks to try to get them to re-write them, and eventually wound up having to take him back in because they thought I might be taking his meds or dealing them! It was a real pain in the butt.

So you got any good war stories?

I also had a super tidy one. We're not together anymore but he drove me nuts for years. I'm untidy - GET OVER IT!

LOL! We had that problem at first. He was a neat freak, I was a clean freak. I was perfectly happy to have clutter all around as long as things were clean. He was perfectly happy for things to be grungy as long as they were picked up and tidy. (typical man) I once spent a whole day cleaning the grunge off of his TV and other stuff in his seemingly "clean" room. We found out that neat and clean are two totally different things. Unfortunately I am dragging him down to my level. He's becoming a slob just like me!

Things my SO does to annoy me would be to nit pick about things like a woman.. sorry ladies... but its true!
If he was a woman he would b$%^ about the toilet lid! LOL. Im so mellow and easy going... I dont complain but him.... Jenny.. you use too much water when washing the dishes... Jenny you use too much dish soap on the sponge.. it should be the size of a 25 cent coin... Dont vacume when Im home I hate the sound...
Jenny you can only take the garbage out and do the dishes when I am busy cause I want to spend every waking momment with you..
Jenny this... Jenny that.. Ugh If I wanted to marry a woman I would have been a lez. :yikes:

[faerieridingdragons]

My biggest pet peeve with my hubby is him telling his co-workers I'm a witch.I'm a pretty private person and considering where we live I prefer to tell only close family members.What's really strange is he doesn't really believe paganism is a relegion,but thinks it's cool enough to tell his co-workers.Now they all look at me weird.

I WISH my husband threw things away....mine does the opposite and it bugs me to no end.I mean,we're talking things from highschool....notes passed between people,letters,pictures,etc...etc... :geez: I guess I trained him wrong eh? :wtf:

[Jenne]

Are there things that your SO does that really annoy you?


*dies laughing hysterically* Are there things??? Oh so maaaaannnyyy! LOL Luckily, there are just as many that annoy him about ME, lmao.

Seriously, to answer your Q, the worst that comes to mind at the moment is that my dh is always forgetting what I tell him. He'll ask me the same danged question like 3 or 4 times. In a ROW sometimes. I'll tell him we have plans, and he forgets. I'll tell him to put money in for bills from his paycheck, he forgets. I'll tell him someone called, he forgets. Nothing I tell the man that ISN'T said in an argument is remembered. Ever.

Of course, if it's something I say in the heat of the moment, he remembers VERY well, to the letter. Yeah, so as you can imagine, this leaves me quite steamed. LOL And it used to be worse b/c he used to expect ME to remember EVERY livin' thing HE said...but now that his memory is so "poor," his expectations have come way down, lmao.

My husband won't let me let our two pits into the house.
When it's freezing cold outside I like to let them in to warm up.
So I just wait til' he goes to work.:p

I used ot get annoyed with my ex-SOs so easily. Every little tiny thing got on my nerves. It wasn't until I spent some time with no one but myself that I realized that all those annoyances were nothing but pathetic attempts to have control over the relationship and my environment. Getting upset over petty things covered my own insecurities and dislikes with myself. After a series of traumatic events, I realized that those little things are meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

My husband has no habits that are repeatedly annoying. I don't expect him to be perfect, and I don't expect him to conform to some standard I set. Does that mean I never get annoyed? Of course not. But I've noticed that the only times I become annoyed over something silly are when I'm in a bad mood to begin with. It really has nothing to do with him. So what if he never remembers to close the toilet lid and always leaves the seat up? What's the big deal? I'm a grown woman. It takes no more time for me to actually look at the toilet before I sit on it than it does to not look.

There are too many real issues for me to care about and stress over. I could care less about the tiny, inconsequential things.

[Secrets Flame]

Sometimes my friend's SO annoys the crap out of me. Mind you, he is finally beginning to see the things as well. His SO just does not talk to him. He's one of these guys who likes meaningful discussion etc... and she just WONT talk. She's very self centered. He does all this stuff for her, but she seems to go out of her way to take all she can get without giving anything back.

lol... better stop there... I'm ranting. But if I ever get myself a SO, she had damn well better not be like that.

[Moon Daughter]

i don't have one.
i feel left out.

but when i did...well. where do i start.
i have my own place, and he lived in a co-op house, strictly christian also, and even at 28 he was not allowed to have a woman stay over ( the house was shared with one or two people).
so, he stayed over at my place.

what drove me nuts is, VERY early in our short relationship, he started acting in my home as if it was his own. nevermind the toilet seat ( yes, i complained about that), but his dirty socks all over, his clothes...he'd download things onto my computer, use my guitar and other things and just leave them laying all over the place. at one point, a day after i picked up all his clothes from all over my apartment and threw them in the laundry basket, he phoned to ask if i had done his laundry b/c he needed clean clothes.
we were only 'together' for about 2 months.
if that.
drove me nuts...and the jealosy!
imagine having a conversation were your guy accuses you of 'making heads turn'.
meh.

i decided to stay single and concentrate on my studies and work.
all the problems which come with relationships is not something i could deal with right now.

They have mothers!

Don't get me started on the mother in law.

[LadyTrinity]

:alol:

[Jackiedanielz]

Oh god the list is so long!
The way he can't handle money
The way I have to act like his mom because if I don't nothing would ever get taken care of
I'll save you the agony of the rest of the list

[9-2-2]

1) I ask him to do the dishes so that I can quickly prepare dinner for hungry mouths as soon as I get home... he screws off, and then whines about why dinner isn't going to be ready for an hour or two. Gee, I wonder?
2) I'm a SUPER light-sleeper. His snoring sounds like Hiroshima. Regardless of how many times I kick him or shake him, he continues snoring. That morning, he says I have to do something about my sleeping problems. :wah2:
3) If I asked him to do something simple, he looks at me funny and says, "Okay..." as if I had sprouted three heads. Don't give me a confused look, jeez! It drives me nuts!!!
4) Whenever I'm angry at him, he chuckles and blows me off as if I don't know anything. However, if he is upset with me, he demands my full attention and refuses to let me avoid him. o_O

Other than that, I love him to death and plan on marrying him. But now, I must sleep. :)

*kicks fiance*

I'm the snorer in my house. Try getting those Breathe Right strips from your local pharmacy, they seem to tone it down a bit.

[SunBeam]

Ok well....

1) This is abit odd but he's always going to the toliet lol He does it alot :D
2) He always tells me when he fancies another girl, and he really goes into detail, I dont mind him liking other people, but its when tells me about it like Im one of his guy mates or something
3) He likes football and I dont :D

Apart from that I love him :)

[diamondtiger]

2)He always tells me when he fancies another girl, and he really goes into detail, I dont mind him liking other people, but its when tells me about it like Im one of his guy mates or somethingMine does that too! I used to let it bother me, and sometimes it still does. It's fine if he wants to look at the menu, just as long as he doesn't order. What comforts me is knowing that I'M the one he chooses to be with. Getting upset over petty things covered my own insecurities and dislikes with myself. After a series of traumatic events, I realized that those little things are meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

It takes no more time for me to actually look at the toilet before I sit on it than it does to not look.

There are too many real issues for me to care about and stress over. I could care less about the tiny, inconsequential things. This is exactly how I feel. For all the little things that he does which annoy me; there are so many more that make me head over heals in love and totally grateful to have him. He may not bring me flowers or sing of his devotion. He does let me keep the puppy that we don't really need, because it makes me happy. I can buy rice at the grocery store in our little town, but he'll drive me 40 miles to the Asian market because I like theirs so much better. He hates having to close the toilet lid, but is thoughtful enough to do so. ~Silly me~, I made a little heart shaped card that says “thank you” and stapled it to the wall behind the toilet. He “lets” my daughter puke all over him, then cleans up the mess so I don't have to get dirty too. Heck, I puked once when I was drunk. He got in the tub with me and cleaned me up. So yeah, I am more than happy to pick up his dirty socks and throw away his beer cans. I don't mind that he doesn't cook or that he whistles when I'm reading. These are all things that make him the man I love, and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. :hearthear

[misschief]

Oh god the list is so long!
The way he can't handle money
The way I have to act like his mom because if I don't nothing would ever get taken care of
I'll save you the agony of the rest of the list those two top my list... along with
laziness when it comes to housework
not being concerned with bill paying
pushing responsibility of EVERYTHING on to me
etc.. etc... etc...

[SunBeam]

In response to diamondtiger's post, when I look at him, in that moment nothing else matters but my love for him, its soppy, but I cant explain it :) lol

[Sylvan]

When we were first dating, Anytime I'd start a sentence with "I was thinking.." He'd say "You were? Wow! When did that happen!" :rolleyes: Ooh, that drove me nuts. :dis: He finally caught on that I didn't like that when I 'd stop speaking after he said that. Every now and then, he'll do it, but nowhere near as often as he used to.

He thinks it's fun to tell me my nostrils are flaring. :shaker: He thinks it's "cute". :razz: One night I spent over an hour with my hand over my nose so he'd stop staring at me and my flaring nose. :fpatricks: If it happens anymore, he hasn't said anything.

Not much else to complain about...

My ex, however, was terrible. I could list everything, but it would take forever. Suffice to say that he'd never throw anything away or pick up after himself *at all*, and the one time he did clean up, he threw away two months' worth of my birth control pills. "On accident". :rolleyes: Yeah, right.

[Kalika]

I know this'll probably sound dumb... but whenever we're actually home together... he wants to spend ALL that time together. I need ME time, and he does too, and tends to forget that!!

[Lunamoth]

Hmm...
I love my husband with all my being. That said...

leave wet towels on the bed ON MY SIDE
leave dirty socks on the floor beside the bed ON MY SIDE
leave dirty socks scattered throughout the house (his nickname became: "And ye shall know me by the trail of socks...")
talks during a movie or a TV program I'm interested in
incessantly points out flaws in the script of said movie or TV program
drinks directly out of the pitcher from the fridge (i.e. no glass, just mouth on spout)

[Haruka2077]

My husband likes to annoy me on purpose because he thinks I'm funny when I'm mad. :aburst: Luckily, he's very, very ticklish!

Oh, and here are some of the things he thought were funny after I got pregnant:

At my first ob/gyn appointment, he asked the doctor how much a paternity test would cost. She looked a little shocked until I hit him and he started giggling.

When I was first pregnant, I was trying to figure out how much weight I could/should gain. His reponse? "Do you really have to gain weight if you were round to begin with?" If he hadn't been in the shower at the time, I would have beat him senseless.

At one of my childbirth classes, he asked the instructor if he could help me breathe during labor because, quote: "I breathe better than she does!"

I'm sure he's going to say something stupid while I'm in labor and my daughter will be visiting me in jail. :fprisoner

[Cev'aq]

My SO does this all the time:

We're talking about point A, he falls silent.
He thinks about point B
Then point X
Then point Z
Then point 2
And begins talking again somewhere around point -2/3. :T

[Ceallach]

Yeah.. same here with all the love stuff.... whatever.
Now.. his annoying habits!!
He picks at his toenails and leaves the nasty tidbits behind...
He chews with his mouth open... :bangyourh
He leaves empty pop cans all over the house...
He will never acknowledge that I am right unless I have concrete, hard evidence...
His ex wife is a :bastard:

Other than that, I guess he's okay.. _inlove_ ;)

Oh Yeah! And if the TV is on.. he can't hear me.. I have to yell his name!!

[Nitefalle]

Well, mine likes to think that he's perfect, so when he makes a mistake, it's forgivable, but I should always know better. When I do things, it's on purpose and obviously to annoy him, not that I just maybe forgot. If he wants something done, he can DO IT HIMSELF instead of nagging me about doing it. And then, he thinks he does everything around the house and calls ME ungrateful?!? Oi ::grinds teeth:: sorry, we just had a fight last night. He's an idiot.

~N~

[Windigo]

NEGATIVITY!!!

He's so negative it drives me nuts! :bangyourh

[Cielamara]

I hate it when I ask him a question like..."If you could have your dream kitchen, what would it look like?" and he says he doesn't know and, unless prodded repeatedly and insistently, won't think of a response. Arrrrrgh.
Other than that...there are little things that occasionally upset me...but I don't care. I'm just happy to have him. So happy. I love that cuddly Finn of mine.

[LadyTrinity]

2) He always tells me when he fancies another girl, and he really goes into detail:D


If my SO talked about other women like that he would be a dead man
:wave:

Tickle me. I would rather have cigarettes put out on me than be tickled. I HATE it.
