    FI is an exaggerater. He tells me these stories about work that I KNOW are exaggerated so much! He has new ones a few times a week about how he told someone off or what a client said to him. I ALWAYS want to call him out but then I remind myself that its just going to hurt his feelings if I say I don't believe him.

     

    Also (and this is not his fault) but when he sneezes, he always does it at least 6 times and at first I say bless you but by the 4th time I just want to tell him to shut up hahaha, then I remember that sneezing isn't on purpose and I feel bad.

     

    What does yours do?

    He's kind of a slob. He likes to leave dishes around.

    He gets forgetful and doesnt text or call back.

    He spends way too much time attached to his tv/computer/xbox.

    He's stubborn and wont let go of something once he gets it in his head.

    lol. Its annoying, but I deal. I love him anyway. I know there are things about me that drive him batty.

    my hubby tends to live in the past alot.

    example, i was cleaning out a cupboard and i found a belt that looked like it was last worn by gene simmonds at a KISS concert back in the 70's, it was leather and had spikes and chains haning off it so obviously it hit the garbage pile

    hubby: why are you throwing that out
    me: because its UGLY
    hubby: but thats as good as new and i wore that recently
    me: when??
    hubby: at a concert
    me: WHEN?  (because i damn well know all the concerts hes been to lately)
    hubby: about 15yrs ago

    which to him was "recently"

    He adjusts to get comfortable in bed for like 5 minutes.  It's super annoying. I'm trying to get relaxed in bed and he's constantly moving and jerking (with pillows, the comforter, etc) for a solid five minutes. But, I love him anyway.  He's a good man - even if he can't get comfortable when he first gets in bed !

    He will not make up the bed to save his life! And if he does "make it" its messy & everything is basically just thrown in place.. Also he will not clean to save his life! He will vaccum but thats it, other than tidying up the kitchen, etc but when it comes to deep cleaning he refuses.. Drives me nuts!

      He picks at the skin on his hands! His poor fingers! He also has to research EVERY. LITTLE. DETAIL. about something before he can make a purchase. On some things, this is really good, but other times, I know what I want, I know what I'm looking for, let's just get it done! This also carries over into his school/work. I'm one that when I get an assignment, I finish it, and I'm good. He can over-analyze it and stress himself out.

      However, these are all small potatoes when I think about the things that I KNOW I do to him.

    My FI has a grace period. And by this is mean, if I ask him what time it is, I would like to know the real time. If it is 4:50, he'll say it's 5:00. He loves to do this when I ask "what time does the movie start?" lol, It annoys me beyond all ends.

    He loves to leave dirty dishes in the sink which I don't mind, but can you at least wash the darn thing!

    He is also notorious for leaving empty packages or tubs in the fridge and panty. I went iinto the fridge one time, and he left the empty pitcher in there. And then when Ii called him on it, he blamed it on a ghost.

    But after everyday, I can't help but love the fool <3

    FH is pretty messy. He leaves dishes all over the place, clothes on the floor.

    He is too set in his ways for his own good. He sees his opinions as right, and everyone else is wrong.

    He's more conservative than I am.

    His views on what makes a man, a man, are ridiculous and outdated.

    He is in love with his beard. FH does not have the genes for growing facial hair. All of his beard is under his chin. His mustache grows in patches. It looks bad, but he won't shave it. He thinks his beard is like a god. Blech. Haha. I keep hoping he'll shave one day.

    He's kind of a momma's boy.

    He refuses to pick up poop if the dog has an accident in the house. It's "my" dog so I should pick it up...

    My eyes get really dry, and when I wake up, I have to immediately use eye drops. Every single morning, right as I'm trying to put in the drops, my husband shifts around in the bed and I damn near stab myself in the eye with the bottle. He knows that he does it, but is in that half-asleep stage and can't control his early morning thrashing about.

    He's always late.  Always.

    He won't put dirty dishes in the sink.  He lines them up on the counter NEXT to the sink.  WTH?

    He has a pile of miscellaneous things in the BR that never disappears or gets smaller.  Same with mail pile in the kitchen which is awaiting shredding.  The shredder is right next to the garbage can.  Hello!

    He promises to do certain chores and doesn't follow through until MUCH later. 

    He doesn't do laundry until he is completely out of clothes.

    He screams at the TV when watching sports to the point where if I am not paying attention he scares the crap out of me!

    @eloping: Oh man, you don't throw out someone's concert gear!  That stuff is carefully selected and worn in to be the perfect proportions of awesome/cool/sexy/comfortable/functional, not to mention the memories!  :O

    My fiance smokes on the fire escape (which is totally fine, albeit ironic), but he leaves the door open.  He puts his coat and shoes on to shield himself from the cold, but seems to forget that I do not also put on my winter gear every time he needs a cigarette.  Lol - maybe I should.  Besides, it gives the cat a chance to watch the squirrels.

    He has serious OCD about how clean our home is and he bugs me about it constantly. I guess it could be worse and he could be a slob.

    He is completely unable to function if he is hungry or tired. He turns into a complete dick and it is like a light switch once he's eaten or taken a nap.

    He is a fibber. It is funny when he's just joking around but then he will be being serious about something and get upset because I don't believe him.

    My husband is THE slowest man in the world. 

    Just today I took him out shopping and he had about 5 things to try on.  I had to know about three times to see if he was having problems getting out of his regular, easy to take off sweater and put on a regular, easy to put on t-shirt.   No idea what the heck he was doing in there.

    He is absolutely incapable of aiming when he pees. Thankfully we each have our own bathroom so I don't have to deal with it all that often but I totally find it disgusting. I used to clean his bathroom but now I make him do it. 

    While he may be listening to me when I talk, he rarely ever responds to what I'm talking about. It frustrates the crap out of me!

    He always makes me late. Its gotten to the point where I tell him we need to leave 15 minutes before we really have to just so that when we leave late, we're really on time. It's a real pain in the ass.

    He only half listens to me...I'll tell him something or suggest something to do for the wedding (for example), then someone else says it or suggests it a week later and it's as though he's never heard it before.

    @KendraJ: I do that too...  :(  It must drive him nuts, but he says it's merely a curiosity to him.

    Mostly, he's a bit of a slob (so am I, but I have a lower tolerance for mess.)  He's also a video game and internet junkie, so it's a struggle to do anything that isn't computer, TV, or food related.

    @zippylef/@meliss: Ditto. Mostly computer video games. No WoW, but a Lord of the Rings one, which I don't mind *so* much cause he's been playing it for years and has international friends that he chats with (through a headset) but then there's this one he found online called Epic Mafia that I ABSOLUTELY LOATHE! I cringe when I hear him playing it. 

    @ohheavenlyday: Ouch.

    Also, he gets a little jealous when any of the cats chose to snuggle with me instead of him when we're going to bed. I'd think it was cute, except while he's at the computer playing games, there is usually one cat sitting on the desk beside him and another curled into his lap. Without fail. 

    He's very proud of his farts. He likes trying to "catch" them and "throw" them at our cats. I apparently married a 14 year old boy.

    Neither of us likes to clean, but I at least want to keep the house habitable. He just doesn't seem to see the mess. He would rather put his dirty laundry on the floor next to the overflowing laundry basket than put it in the washing machine!!

    He doesn't really have an opinion on about 80% of the things I ask him about. His "I don't care, you decide" can drive me CRAZY!!

    @meliss: I'm torn between rolling my eyes at him and laughing at the expression the cat makes. And I have a feeling he's going to try doing it to our kids (when we have them). I'm just glad he doesn't try that shit with me. I told him flat out that Dutch-ovening me might get him a divorce (and would definitely get sex withheld for a period of time yet to be determined).

    I don't know if this counts but it bugs me that he never wants to jump my bones... lol  Like that "oh I want you right now" spur of the moment feeling... He's not that type of guy I guess... But it would be nice once in a while.

    Oh and the fact that he will leave all of his dirty boxers on the bathroom floor, but somehow manages to get his dirty clothes in the laundry basket.  It baffles me.

    @kingytobe: haha I'm with you on the sneezing thing...  FI sneezes about 3 or 4 times, I'll say bless you to the second one (I skip the first one because I know more are coming)... But when he sneezes any more than 3 times I get irritated and want to yell...  Sometimes I actually do say "would you stop that already?!".  I guess I'm mean. lol

    FI will always spend way too much time playing Magic at the game store. I just try to remember it's him hanging out with his friends instead of him wasting time playing a stupid card game (no offense to those who play, but I have resentment issues with it, lol).

    FI will also always think that I need more friends and he constantly bugs me to hang out with the ones I have. It's good, though, because sometimes I am a bit of a social recluse.

    Him not listening to me & then trying to blame ME for "not telling him".  

    And his new thing...he takes his socks off in the bedroom and leaves them on his side of the bedroom which is next to the windows.  We have those room darkening curtains that also helps keep the cold out so during the winter I hardly ever open the curtains.  He has this new habit of some how taking his socks off and getting them under the curtains where I can't see them.  So I have to go around every day picking up his socks that some how he has magically shoved under the curtains.

    @Mrs Sarah McK: lol my FI gets so jealous that one of our cats will only sleep/cuddle on my side of the bed.  Even if I'm not petting the cat and he is calling and enticing the cat to come cuddle on his side he just WON'T go.  It's really cute.  But FI gets mad because technically they are his cats. lol

    FI used to be late for everything. Then I started fibbing to him the time of when things began so he'd be on time :). Now he's late for everyone else except things that deal with me and my family (plus he's learned we are sticklers for time, which annoys the hell outta him). He bites his nails way down and his skin...drives me nuts! He picks his nose -- never attemps to hide it just does it right out in the open. He even did it when he was driving while we were out somewhere! I was like whoa if you wanna do that in the house, fine whatever.....but please don't do it in public! He also doesn't flush the toilet like most "normal" people. He says he's saving water LOL. I don't get it.

    He also lets things go too easily. This can actually be a bad thing because he lets ppl use him, which pisses me off but he doesn't seem to care or notice at times.

    And despite all that, I still love him!

    He can be on this thing for hours! When he is playing I cant walk in front of the TV with out asking him if he is clear first. I can't talk to someone on the phone in the same room as him bc his head piece is to sensitive and makes me sound like I am screaming... lol

    I just assume COD time is my peace and quite time
