    Obviously, we love our big lugs. Otherwise, we wouldn't be saying "I do." Plus, to change one thing is to change everyting, and we fell in love with them the way they are, and not what we wish them to be. But, just for fun, what would you change?

     

    I would want my fiance' to be less of an introvert.

    What say you bees?

    I dunno... at the risk of sounding cliche and trite, I love my FI just the way he is! Some of the qualities I might list here are also the qualities that drew me to him initially and that really balance me out as a person.

    My DH has a bit of a stammer. Sometimes he just can't get the words out, and he flubbers all over them, or replaces a word with something else that doesn't make as much sense. My heart broke the day I found our that he didn't order pina colada at a restaurant because he knew he wouldn't be able to say it to the waitress!

    I would take that away from him in a heartbeat, not because it annoys or bothers me, but because I know how insecure he is about it and how much it holds him back.

    Awww I just had a "love hubby" moment.

    I think IF I could change anything about him, I would make him less of a workaholic. It's pretty normal for him to work 50 or more hours a week. He has a great work ethic, which I admire, but I selfishly would like him to spend more hours with me.

    @Cash000: I'm with you on that one, lol

    I think if I could change something about him it would definately be for him to show me a bit more affection in the summer time.It's like I don't even exist.

    I'll explain, he is a dump truck driver, so in the summer he works days and nights, I don't see him at all, maybe like 10 minutes tops from Sunday night to Saturday morning. Then Saturday during the day he goes to his dad's shop (mechanic) and does the accounting portion of it. After that he comes home, showers and goes to bed. Sunday we don't do nothing cuz he's gotta work Sunday night and he wants to relax.This goes on from April to November. Then he doesn't work unless there's snow.

    So all I'm asking if for some kisses when he comes home or when he leaves, I don't even get that!

    Sorry I didn't mean to vent here, it kinda felt nice to do it though, thanks for listening.

    I think it would be that he'd take charge a little bit more. I feel like I'm the one who has to make plans ALL THE TIME. Whether it's where we're going to eat or making serious life plans I feel like I'm the one who thinks about it and plans it all out. I think part of it comes from the fact that I'm fairly type A so he knows that I'll always take care of it...whatever it is. I'm pretty sure if he could change something about me it would be that I wouldn't worry as much lol. Funny because if he'd take charge more often I probably wouldn't worry so much.

    I wish he'd remember to cut his toenails before he visits. We're long distance, and only see each other every few months... and it's like wolverine feet. Tee hee :-D. I love everything else though! And I guess I could remind him as soon as he takes his shoes off to cut those grizzlies before they cut me :-D. I wonder if he only cuts them when I see him... nah, jk, they're not that bad!

    @Cash000: Lol I think if I had to pick something I think it would be for him to at least walk out of the room when he farts. He doesn't do it in the open when we go out or to somebody's house so I get a little grossed out when he does it next to me. Although since I've put one of them motion sensor air wick things in the living room he tends to not do it so much. He hates getting sprayed by that thing.

    If he could multi task. Seriously put the clothes in the washer so they can get going before you vacumme.

    Think ahead.. if we are going away for the weekend it might be a good idea to pack and overnight bag before we head out the door.... and when you bring charcoals to cook with grab a lighter!

    All true stories.

    This will sound crazy, The thing I would change is also one of my fav things about him. He is beyond blunt, he may come off to other people as being insensitive but he doesn't mean it. I am blunt but I do it in a softer way, I take a lot more care at how people will feel. I admire this about him because , he never has to guess where he stands with people, he's very honest and a lot of mutual friends have cOme to appreciate it. So it's a love hate thing :)

    @nicolebug:  I know exactly what you mean.  My fiancee is the same way.  And I've spoke to him about it, because I feel like at times he hurts people feelings.  But he doesn't see what I'm talking about.

    For the love of God, I wish he'd stop smoking.  I have asthma and allergies and can't stand it.  He smokes before he comes to bed and expects me to be all about it?  Oh hell no. 

    Plus, I don't want him to die any earlier than he's naturally supposed to.  :(

    Great and funny answers here, and it makes it very obvious how much you all love your s/o.

    @Stellar Magnitude:

    How adorable :-)

    @nicolebug:

    I know exactly what you mean! My Fiance' being introverted is the very thing that attracted me to him! I loved how when we would be out amongst people and he would be so reserved. But then, when we are alone, he is nothing like that. People would comment on how quiet he is, and I would feel smug because I have a part of him that no one else has or knows. It made me feel so special. Although I still love it, now that we are getting married, I just wish he would be open to my family. We are a huge and very close family, and there isn't an introvert among us. Not that is is an issue. They all love him to pieces because they know I love him to pieces!

    I wish he were more of a risk taker. But then if he was we probably wouldn't be together given our life arcs, so....

    Without sounding mean, I wish mine didn't have ADD. It's pretty much what some of you said but all at once and most of the time. It gets frustrating and I feel guilty if I say something! It's not like he can help it.

    I wish my hubby didn't snore.  We didn't live together before getting married so I didn't realize how bad it was.  Now I feel like I haven't gotten a full night sleep in 4 months.

    Ok let me preface this by saying that FI and I have a deal....I cook, he does the dishes. That being said the one thing I'd change about him is that he'd remember where stuff goes in the kitchen!!!! We've lived together for 6 months and everytime I go in there to fix dinner I have to play Where's the Colander?? or Where's the Mixer?? Stuff is always in the wrong place!!! Even the knives in the knife block! Drives me insane :P But I suppose if that's the one thing I'd change then I'm doin alright!

    That he would be more romantic.

    He cares but since weve been married all the kind of 'wooing' stuff stopped. I actually have to suggest going out for tea, flowers etc.. And im over suggesting. :(

    However, saying that.. he does other thoughtful things but there more "practical"

    I wish he wasn't so shy!  Also that he would go to the freaking doctor.  He has a lot of moles, some of which I'm very worried about.  He went a couple years ago, and the doc said they're fine, but since then, he's had some that have changed and he is taking his sweet time going back to get them checked again.  I wish he would take his health more seriously because I don't want anything to happen to him :(

    i love my guy so much, so it's hard to think of anything that i would change...

    the only thing i can think of is that he would maybe gain a bit of weight. he is so thin, and sometimes it makes me feel bad about myself cuz i have more "love" than he does. i know for a fact my thighs are wayyyy bigger than his! i would be way too afraid to ever try on any of his pants, in case i couldn't zip them up! eek!

    These are great everyone!

    I think I'd have to go with I wish he could be a bit more outgoing...but then when I think about it, I'm the outgoing one--so, would we even get along the same way?

    Also, we could both use some time off the couch.
