2 things, and they're somewhat big and somewhat not. He throws *everything* away. That's fine, if they're his to throw away! But a lot of times they're not. Like his future stepmom loaned him a couple of random things (like a roll of masking tape), I told him *repeatedly* "make sure you give those back to her, she wanted them back," and STILL had to stop him when he went to throw them away. If he doesn't need it, he throws it away, no questions asked. And the weird thing is he's gotten really pissed at his mom for throwing things of his away, yet he does it too!

The other things is that he just makes crap up to be funny, but it's NOT funny to me. Conversation goes something like FH- "I was in a coma for a year when I was little, so that's why I graduated a year later than my twin sister." Me- "Really?" FH- "No not really, why would you believe something like that?" And he does it on little stupid stuff and big random stuff like that. It upsets me because I always feel like an idiot, which I *hate*. He stopped for a long time (honestly not sure if we'd be together now if I hadn't managed to get him to quit doing it to me back when we first met), but has started again, cause he "forgets" and it's just "something [he] does." Grr.

We've talked about them both, so he's doing a lot better. But gah! Stop it!

Mine is bossy, and is always wondering around the house looking for stuff to put away "into their place"....Mind you, I am not a messy person to live with but he still does this anyway, errrrrr. And I won't even mention the bossiness. 

Mine refuses to open his mail. I don't know why, but I'll stack up all the stuff to him on the dining table and it will just sit there until I force him to open it. Yesterday he found out his renter's insurance was cancelled because he hadn't bothered to set up the billing to his new bank account. Guess what else was in the pile? Two more notices from the insurance company. You better believe I'll be in charge of all bills when we're married, but I told him until then it's mail fraud for me to open his stuff, so he has to do it himself :)

All of my hubby's bad habits irritate me as much as they did before we got married but it hasn't magnified just because we're married. My hubby is so horrible about leaving full drinks downstairs and wasting sodas. I can't stand walking downstairs and seeing 5 cups of tea and 4 almost full sodas of dr. pepper just wasting away. I can't stand that he used 3 to 4 different cups a day because I'm the one that does the dishes. I use the same cup all day. For awhile there I was buying the mini bottles or cans of dr. pepper because of him wasting it. I told him when he can start drinking all of his drinks then he could go back to the big boy sodas, lol. He also has a bad habit of not closing any door behind him. He always leaves the door ajar whenever he comes home and always forgets to close the doors to the bedroom and bathroom, which irritates me because our 18 month loves to snatch the toilet plunger whenever he gets the chance. It irritates me even more when he has left the toilet seat up because I freak out about our son playing in the toilet.

Mr. S LOVES using plastic utensils at home (I know). He has like 1 real fork and spoon and 10 plastic utensils. It drives me insane when I see a plastic utensil washed and drying in the dish rack. I immediately throw all of them away when he's not nearby, but somehow he becomes magically restocked with new plastic utensils the next time I come over. He's also super OCD about having clean hands. And he refuses to wash his hands in the kitchen. So it's the worst when he's in the kitchen and gets his hands dirty - he'll hold them up like a surgeon to make sure he doesn't touch anything around him and walks all the way to the bathroom sink to wash his hands.

Just out of curiosity, Ms. Sapphire, why do you throw his plastic utensils away? Shouldn't it be his choice what kind of utensils he uses, especially since you don't seem to be living together? Just seems odd, for you to throw away something he's spent money on and prefers to use.

He chews with his mouth open.  I yell at his paretns about it all the time.  Its so gross. If our kids get that from him I'm gonna be so angry!

My husband also is always losing his keys, sunglasses or breaks his cellphone. I think he has been through at least 10 cell phones since I've know him, two of those were over $100 phones that I got him. He has also lost two VERY expensive pairs of Oakley sunglasses that I asked him not to get because he would lose them within 3 months. Both pairs gone in two months....so when we where in Cozumel for our honeymoon he found fake Oakleys just like the ones he lost, he got 3 pairs for $30. Well, two of those he's already lost/broken. A few months ago he lost both sets of keys for his truck so I had to go to the dealership and pay $35 for them to cut a new key which I then took and made 6 copies of it. He has lost his two copies and is using one of other spares, I keep two of those with my keys so he doesn't lose them too.

His bestman said it best during his speech, "If you know Blake at all, he is always losing either his keys or his cell found and never has both on him at the same time" SO TRUE

he picks at his cuticles, and bites them. They're kinda gross. I always ask him to stop, but I think it's nervous habit from having smoked and them quit.

I can tell you what bugs him about me! I always leave my dirty clothes in the bathroom, behind the door. I don't know why, but I've ALWAYS done it, and it drives him crazy!

@liz.smith - he purposely asks for extra utensils at take out restaurants so he can just dispose of them after one use (instead of having silver utensils to wash) so it's not like he's spending big bucks on these utensils. But instead, he ends up re-using the plastic ones at home. We've read numerous articles about how re-using plastic can be harmful to your health so he agrees ~ he's trying to break his plastic habit but forgets...most of the time. This was a joint decision ~ I'm not just trying to impose my personal preferences on his lifestyle. That wouldn't be nice.

@rnc620 - We ARE the exact opposite of you and your SO! haha. We've heard it can be harmful to re-use plastic (water bottles included) so I usually dispose of single-use plastic utensils after each use. He loves camping so he likes to keep a stash of extra plastic utensils around for that purpose but he always ends up just using them at home. Once we get married I'll be bringing my silverware. haha.

My Fi makes a pile of stuff to take upstairs to our bedroom, but then walks past it 3 or 4 times before he actaully takes it upstairs.  It drives me bonkers!
