DH bought me a deep fat fryer one Christmas - NEVER AGAIN. I tell you it wasn’t the chips which were nearly boiled. ?

When you return home and he says enthusiastically ‘I’m glad you’re back!’ Then follows it with ‘what’s for dinner?’

When you playfully take a spoonful of his dessert and he prongs your hand with his fork.Accidentally ( he says.)

He asks you to trim the hair in his ears, I draw the line at nasal hair,

My (now ex) bought me "Mrs Beeton's Book of Home Management" for our 10th anniversary. .... and I had the tin-opener the following birthday.

When he gazes at you across the table in a romantic Parisian restaurant and tells you that your spots really stand out in the candlelight. And we're still together!

This truly happened to a sister of a friend of mine
The romance had died when he asked her to put ointment on his "piles".

My husband bought me an iron - an expensive, posh iron - but an iron never the less. He didn't repeat that mistake either!

Shortly after we were married, he turned to me in bed and said, 'I love this time of day....I think of all the gas and electricity we're saving' shock

I’ve had the tin opener - but it was an electric one! He has not made the same mistake again!!

He says he’ll take you out for lunch and you end up in a lay-by at a Burger van.

He gives you a tin opener for your birthday.

I'll start off with:

*He arrives home with red roses and they are for his mother
*You wear the perfume he admired on his friend's wife and he asks if the drains are blocked again
*His idea of a romantic day together is a trip to the fishing tackle shop
