What is your biggest pet peeve about your spouse/so?

[Orthotech]

Is this limited to husbands or can we whine about our wives also?

 

[Shugardrawers]

spouse = husband or wife. The real question is why would you whine about your DW? everyone knows women are perfect!

Uh huh..............Let's see then..........My wife.............will NOT........
1) .......Empty the trash in our bathroom.
2) .......Bring the mail in from the mailbox.
3) .......Unpack suitcases when we go on trips. She prefers to live out of them.
4) .......Only allows me to do the grocery shopping when she needs tampons or pads.
5) .......Put gas in her vehicle until the almost empty light comes on.
6) .......Put her shoes in the closet...she will leave them where she kicks them off.
7) ......Go anywhere without putting her make up on. Even to the corner store which we can see from our front porch.
8) ......Empty HER cat's litter box.....apparently, that's my job even tho it's her cat.
9)......will not allow me any privacy on the computer if she is home.

And finally:
10)She is not the woman I married before we had our child.

He smokes cigarettes. I stopped being such a nag about it because it doesn't help. He'll quit when he's ready. Other than that, he is a great husband, dad, provider and my very best friend

he can't plan for the future or think about things long term. I have taken the money away from him because of this but it's so frustrating. If something unexpected comes up he'll say, you have such and such amount in the bank but he can't grasp that it's spoken for and I can't just take that money and pay for an unexpected car repair. I give him money for the week. He'll spend it all in two days and then complain that he has no money for coffee or lunch or etc. It's frustrating as all get out. Esp. when it involves the kids. If they ask for something i'm always the one to say no. They don't even ask him because they know if he says yes it might cause a bigger problem. If I offer to take the kids out for breakfast he won't understand why I don't let everybody order anything they want.

My biggest pet peeve is that my DH is never wrong...

How much time ya got?????

 

[arkansas mom]

The poor dear has no sense of style. Now he was jammin' back in the day, but he thinks it's still 1981 and someone, somewhere will appreciate the Converse All-Stars or the Vans that he has to order online several times a year. Really now, he has more shoes than I do, but he can't seem to let go of jr. high. I just want to shake him and tell him, "Wake up and smell the mid-life crisis!" I guess the sweet guy will always be a kid at heart.

Mine is that my DH is a workaholic who is really oblivious to everything else. He's always been like this but I learned to tolerate it when he worked in the same town we live in. He's been working in the next state over and we're lucky if we talk to him briefly every two weeks now. AND he doesn't even make that much, certainly not enough to cover the bills!

Can you tell that I'm rather frustrated?

 

[Michie]

I am real picky about Pearl, my vehicle. Whenever we go somewhere, he is always touching the windows Or he tries to mess with the stereo he adjust the heat/air vents He always bugs me about stopping and getting something to drink

 

[ilovedale3]

My DH is an absolute doll and there really is not much that I would change about him, but it aggrevates me when he gets all nervous when he is unsure about the location of a place.

For example, if we are on vacation and are in the car, he has to know where we are at all times. He wants to know the location of something precisely. There is no "just cruising around trying to find something" (like a store or a restaurant). No, he has to get out the map, call the place, etc. to know its exact location. If he doesn't know exactly where he is, he gets all nervous and freaked out (which in turn makes ME nervous).

 

[Marseeya]

I love Dale reminded me about something else with my DH.

When he gets nervous or upset about something, he'll turn into a bull in a china shop and make all kinds of mistakes. Then the more mistakes he makes, the more nervous he gets and starts to mess up even more. I CANNOT let him drive when he's nervous because it's a really scary thing. I can drive when I'm upset because I get uber-focused, but he just ends up driving like a chicken with its head cut off.

 

[Dee & Greg]

My DH is the nicest, sweetest, most considerate man ever (and he LOVES WDW!), but he has never found a career that he likes. He has a double masters and an MBA, and has spent the last 10 YEARS trying to figure out what he wants to do. I finally told him I didn't care if he dug ditches, but he had to bring in a steady paycheck. He can find his "dream job", but he has to be working in the meantime!

7) ......Go anywhere without putting her make up on. Even to the corner store which we can see from our front porch.

That is probably the first thing DH would change about me- Having me wear makeup all the time, especially when we are at home so he gets to enjoy it. I don't think i have ever put on too much eyemakeup for him, even when I tried.

Orthotech: HAve you ever heard the saying "Women marry men, hoping they'll change: men marry women, hoping they won't"

MY poor DH has the Seven habits of the highly disorganized. He hates to be told what to do, even if its by his own "TO DO" list.

I've never heard that but it does ring true!

That's funny. My DH would be happy if I never touched a drop of makeup again in my life. It's been very freeing, I have to admit! I used to put makeup on every time I left the house, but now I only wear it for very special occasions.

 

[KathyFP]

My DH always has to question everything. He asks a question, I anwser and then he doubts my anwser. Once He finds out that I am right, then he will just say, I had to find out for myself. GRRRRRRR

 

[Deb & Bill]

Nothing. He's great and I love him.

 

[MOMTOCUTESTDOGEVER]

OH OH OH!!! I have one! EVERY month he asks me if I paid the cable bill. Every month. Doesn't care if I paid the mortgage, the car payment etc, but can't let a month go past without asking about the cable. Now I pay it late every month on purpose, just so we get one of those little reminders that we didn't pay yet. Freaks him out.

That is hysterical!!

Well, mine is that my husband forgot my 40th birthday today.
He also teases me until I want to scream. Shortly after we were married he started in on me right when I woke up ... not good as I am NOT a morning person, I looked at him and said, "Well, I'm just a little piece of ground and you're a great , big chicken... peck, peck, peck!" and ran into the bedroom with my cup of coffee.. now we just laugh about that and whenever I really need him to ease up on the teasing I just say, " peck, peck, peck" and he stops. The whole birthday thing is because he has been sick the last three days, a very rare occurance for him, and he lost track of the days and thought my b-day was tomorrow.
