    So, my husband and I were starting to decorate our house for the holidays last night. I absolutely love the way our house looks inside for Christmas and so does he!

    While he was decorating our banister, I went back downstairs in the basement to grab another tub of decorations. I wanted to see what was inside before I brought it up, and I broke my nail lifting the top of the tub off. I immediately grabbed my finger b/c it was throbbing, and ran upstairs to complain to my husband about how much it frickin hurt (I'm such a baby).

    He looked at me like I had 3 heads! Like it wasn't serious! He said, "Let me see...it can't be that bad..." and sure enough, when I took my hand away, the nail had broken halfway down my nail bed and blood was all under my nail.

    Sometimes, guys just don't understand! Even when my nails don't break that far down, it frickin hurts having them bend a way that they aren't supposed to go! Is there anything your SO doesn't understand that you wish they could?

    FI doesn't understand why we need to use bleach when cleaning. He says "it smells bad and we could do the exact same thing using water"

    HMPH.

    Hormones, PMS, baby rabies, my relationship with my mother, my non existing relationship with his rude sister, why I feel the need to talk during movies, why I hate the sound of silance and love the sound of hearing myself ramble on about trivial things, my obsession with chocolate, my obsession with him... etc etc I could go on forever. Oh and the big one... Why I'm still so active on a wedding website almost 2 months after our wedding. Honey, theres some things i just can't explain, and my love of weddingbee is one of them!

    Oh and style... the boy dressed like a homeless man before I came along and started buying him clothes... okay maybe I exaggerate a little. Of course, I love that I have my own life size ken doll to dress now!

    @ejs4y8: Haha...I second that too. Though he tries to understand that at least. He's more sympathetic about that anyway!

    Any activity that takes place in the kitchen except eating.  I walked him through making me some hot tea yesterday and he asked me if the tea bag was supposed to be floating already after he added the water.  Like it was shrimp.

    I love hearing the stuff that is so obvious to us, but is such a mystery to guys. Like KH's guy with the bleach and Nat's story about the tea bag. Hilarious!

    Why anyone needs more than one pair of brown shoes and one pair of black shoes. Also, why it is unacceptable to let dirty dishes pile up in the sink.

    He doesn't understand that he's huge and even when he does stuff to keep me safe or when he's kidding it hurts. For instance the other day we were walking and I was texting and he grabbed my arm to keep me from walking in front of a car and he hurt me. Yes I was happpy he saved my life ;) but boy did it hurt. He's 6'5" 350lbs

    @jamiemichelle: I second the relationship with my mother! He asks why am I always talking on the phone with her when all I do is complain to him about her complaining to me when I get off....I think men just don't understand!

     He doesn't understand why I always get on his case when he tries to order a triple whopper at Burger King or when he will sit there and eat a whole gallon of ice cream. I try explaining to him that sure your young, tall and in shape now and your metabolisim is super fast. But the proof is in his family. Once men hit around 30 they balloon up to around 300 lbs, go bald, get diabetes, and look gigantic, 6 feet tall Uncle Festers. I really wish he would understand that what you eat now DOES affect how your going to look and feel in 5 years!

    I don't think they'll ever understand a daughter's relationship with their mother! I talk to my mom every day. I just have stuff to tell her...and when I don't talk to her for a day, the next day's conversation is usually twice as long. He totally doesn't get what I have to say to her every day.

    How to shut the door quietly when people (ie: ME!) are sleeping, how I can put up with my mother and her personal issues (because she's my MOTHER), how I can sit and read a book all day and be perfectly happy, why tapping one's armrest like they're playing the drums in a movie theater is annoying, that not everyone who tailgates someone needs to get their ass kicked (although I'm a huge hypocrite on that one!), that chocolate really DOES make everything better, that I often don't notice some of his flaws unless he actually points them out, why his super abrupt and loud sneezes are absolutely terrifying, that coffee really IS necessary, that his feet do in fact stink after a long day, that purses and shoes truly are FANTASTIC, etc.    

    I stole the list idea from and definitely agree with @Jamiemichelle on some of those!! lol.

    Baby fever, clothes shopping (or shopping of any kind), why anyone needs so many shoes, the need to update bedding, basically the urge to decorate the house at all lol. He's learning though!
