If you could change one trait in your SO, what would it be?

[Papa Deuce]

Not things like make them taller, make them skinnier, give them blue eyes....

What I mean is something they do or say....

OK, for me, it would be simple. I would get my wife to understand that 5 minutes is 300 SECONDS.... not 20 minutes. That when she says "It is a half hour away"... she needs to understand that in the REAL WORLD it is an HOUR away... my wife has absolutely ZERO concept of time.

OK.... that is my vent. She called me at 10 minutes til five to say she was leaving in 5 minutes. So I made dinner. She just called me 3 minutes ago to tell me she was just packing up to head home now.... 4o minutes AFTER she was supposed to leave.

I guess it is my fault. I should know better by now. It happens all the time.


OK, what would YOU change?

definatly the gas. It wouldn't be so bad, but when he farts in bed, he thinks it's the funniest thing and he starts laughing really hard. Then I wake up and smell it.

But I would have to say things are pretty good if that's what I would pick to change!

 

[Servants of Evan]

I'd make it so her "mommy ears" had a switch to shut them off so she could allow herself to get a good night's sleep...

DH is extremely careful with money. (Notice I did not say cheap!)

Now that we have more of it that we once did, I'm able to spend...but he always asks what this or that cost. Sometimes he makes faces.

One day I'm going to buy a club and when he asks what it cost and makes a face I'm going to beat him with it! I doubt a jury would convict me.

Other than that (and all the dead animals from hunting trips) DH is just about perfect! I love him v. much!

 

[Southern4sure]

I would have DH to automatically agree with all my decisions and do this...

 

[Marseeya]

I would have him be more interested in spending time with the family.

I'd also get rid of his bad genes. Cancer and other diseases run rampant in his family.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

chewing noises--I dont' want to hear it--but he doesn't understand the concept of not doing it.


and i know you said one--but I am greedy.

his fidgeting--DRIVES ME NUTS. Especially when I feel it due to a seating arrangement where his knee bob causes vibrations on the seat.

bonkers I tell you!

 

[ChristmasElf]

The ONLY thing I would change about DH is his lineage. He is perfect in my eyes the only problem he has are his parents~they are real pieces of work. But the live on the other side of the country and we don't see them much because of my MIL's antics.

 

[beckmrk04]

My husband has the MOST annoying habit. Ok- when we are getting ready to go somewhere, it's GAURANTEED that I will take 45 minutes to get ready (shower, makeup, hair, etc). He takes, maybe 15-20 minutes, tops. But it NEVER fails. I get all the way ready to walk out the door, and he goes, "ok, just gotta brush my teeth, put on my shoes, and put on deoderant!"

WHAT?! WHat have you been doing?

Insert: watching tv, playing video games, farting around on the internet....



And then, he'll stop to pet the cat along the way. We are never on time anywhere.

Drives me crazy. Other than that, I love him to pieces. Couldn't ask for better, and I'm not quite sure what I did to deserve him!!

To stop being late. If we have to be someplace at 4pm..he will decide to cut the grass at 3:00...then he has to shower, etc. Many times the girls and I just go without him and let him show up in his own car. He can't even be on time for the dinner table. I call everyone to eat, we all sit down...wait a bit, I call him a second time...still doesn't come (he is in the next room reading the paper) so we start without him...then he gets mad that we didn't wait for him. He was even late for our wedding. Technically not late...he was at the church for the time it was supposed to start BUT he was supposed to be there with the ushers and best man an hour early for pictures. The usher was there..but the best mand and DH...home taking their sweet old time. His parents showed up before him and I'm asking them where he is...they tell me that Rob (his brother) left before them. TUrns out they went to my house BEFORE coming to the church...to this day I have no clue why. maybe he thougt he had to pick me up!

My DH does the exact same thing, and it drives me nuts!

 

[MouseWorshipin]

farting around on the internet....

Man, I hate it when people do that...

 

[AprilShowers]

He has high blood pressure, and Adult ADD. I would change THOSE things.

 

[beckmrk04]

Man, I hate it when people do that...

No kidding.

 

[ilovepcot]

I hate that he's *ALWAYS* right! He doesn't merely "think" he's always right, he really is. I'd like to be right once in a while. Am I saying I need to "smarten up" or need my DH to "dummy down"? Whatever...we make it work and work well!

 

[Sleepy]

Due to my husband's job, he is in a position where he can be mean to people and they can't tell him off. He demands an answer to something, but later does it his way anyway. He is always right. If you don't know the answer to something, he gets mad at you. Why? He doesn't listen to other people's advice anyway. He tries this crap with me and he is finding more and more I tell him like it is and don't take his crap! Makes him mad, but I don't care. I can talk back and not get punished. He is a bully

 

[liamandcaili]

I think the thing that annoys me most is his eating habits. DH is in the Army, and you can tell he is eating with a bunch of men because when he comes home he chews with his mouth open, burps at the table, slurps his tea...this especially drives me crazy! He loves eating olives but I have to leave the room because the squishy, slurpy, squeaky eating sounds just drive me mad.

 

[Tine731]

Not to be a downer but I would like to get my husband to stop drinking.
