I love him, BUT

I love him BUT whenever we go out he wears the same fleece jacket he's had since the year dot.
Even on a warm day and with a shirt and jumper underneath too.
I have to anaesthetise him and operate to get the fleece off in May every year.

I used to say I would never marry a man who was untidy or who smoked. Well, DH doesn't smoke, but I dream of a husband who would get things out of cupboards/drawers etc and then put them back in again, not leave them quite close to where they belong but not actually put away. Otherwise he is perfect!!

Agree about overdressing in warm weather: he still wears the fleece because the pockets all have zips, so wallet, keys etc can't fall out.
Every other driver on the road is a lunatic, God knows how they passed their test.
And thank heavens the football season is nearly over as he watches it endlessly on TV. Any game, any team. Accompanied with shouts of joy for any goal, and there are beer cans all over the coffee table.
Has no idea what colour goes with what, just pulls out the nearest thing & has been known to wear five colours at once. And he'll buy any piece of tat if it's a bargain. It's Horrible! But it was only £3.99!! A Bargain!
But I still love him...

Anyone else's open his post, fold it up again, and slide it all back in the envelope before dumping it? Even the junk mail? Or save every leftover scrap, even a teaspoon of beans or half a tomato, to add force to the regular Tupperware avalanche that always seems to be triggered by their DW opening the fridge door?

I, of course, am a paragon of all the virtues and an absolute joy to live with. I must remember to remind him of this.

My DH not only hogs the remote but sometimes if I ( or anybody )gets too close, his hand goes possessively over it.Haha.

I can track mine by all the open drawers, cupboards doors etc.

BBbevan You must be sharing my DH! I know exactly where he has been throughout the house by all the drawers, wardrobe and cupboard doors etc left open. If I mention it, he just says he forgot to close them. I do have control of the remote though.

Dh opens every bit of post that arrives by slitting the top and peering in trying to read the contents. He then gives up with a sigh and takes the contents out to read properly.

Lost keys/wallet/phone that I always manage to find, he's also very tall so put things in a safe place I can't see so I'm constantly getting chair to look for stuff he's lost also plate on top of empty dishwasher not in it. Remember the joke on tv when the comedian observed that you don't put the chicken next to the oven to cook so why put plates on top of dishwasher to clean them! So true

Oh yes the road rage, I don't think we have a journey without encountering some other blithering idiot [insert words of choice] Tailgating is one of the most common and as we live in France you can imagine !
Like Maggiemaybe I am a paragon to live with, positively faultless.

Oh he was so handsome when he was young and so well dressed. Now he looks like Compo from Last of the Summer Wine, or worse still. Worzel Gummage. He thinks he doesn't have to bother any more because he's retired.
Maybe I should dress up as Nora Batty from now on. See if he notices!

What a truly lovely lot of men we all have, and how lucky we are to still have them around. Would we be without them - NO!

Most of the above! The remote, the clothes, the driving. None really annoy, except when he falls asleep clasping the remote firmly so I can't change channel. What does annoy is his shoes. So many shoes, stacked in various locations around the house . He's just bought two more pairs and was very proud because he threw one pair out. I've said he should operate a UKIP policy. Two pairs in, two pairs out.

Buys new clothes and then leaves them in the wardrobe for two years!

Leaves his clothes all over bedroom floor & doesn't open his post until I nag! Then he leaves the empty envelopes on the sofa!!!
Also leaves front door open when he comes home from work until he jas taken his coat & shoes off.

My DH died a few months ago. He did a fair few things that irritated me but I would have all the irritation and more back if I could have him back.

No they don't!

I am expected to man our three remotes to:

...to setup our DVR to record our favorite programs.
...to fast-forward through the ads.
...adjust the sound.
...update our Freesat box.

Yes, I am also accused of hogging the remote controls.

And I accept the blame for all recording and other TV malfunctions.

BTW, apart from the last one, these are not necessarily "boy jobs".

Sorry, that was a reply to rosesarered.Is Grampie a man? I am the remote control operator here as my husband doesn't know which controls what.

Packets! Freakin packets. He will pull out the packets of biscuits and chips while trying to watch a movie... Now when I hear him head to the cupboard, I tell him to remove the snacks from their packaging before he brings it through ? One reason I won't ever do movie houses with him ever again!

Go watch your own TV....simples. What you are going watch is something you should discuss. Nobody has the right to choose for the other person. Even better...hide the remote and go watch your own tv.

Having read all this I can't believe what some of you put up with. Why the hell do you not say something.

So glad I live on my own. Peace reigns in The Oddbird's cowshed

I had one of those - note the past tense. He'd always leave his socks on the floor etc. but most annoyingly he'd pile the dirty washing up in the sink, and then I'd had to take it all out again to do it. (No, he never did it, and we never had a dishwasher.)

FIL always insisted on saying, "Shhh - I'm watching that" generally over the 6 o'clock TV news, which drove DH and MIL completely mad. These days DH does the same, and when I dare to point out that he's becoming increasingly like his father, he gets really miffed - "I'm nothing like him". I adore him, but why can't our menfolk recognise the truth? One of these days he's going to be chucked out of an upstairs window! Yes - he hates other drivers, TV presenters and most other people too.

Mine leaves his garden shoes on the May by the back door . I have to bend down to pick them up when I clean the floor morning and evening. Tried throwing them in the middle of the breakfast room , but doesn't get it. Now he takes his boots off . Leaves them on the floor when the show rack is a yard away !!!
Says he will clear the dinner plates but never wipes the work tops or job or rinse the sink!!! Leaves his Apple core on the table. Every night and his tooth pick!!My I didn't realise there was so much. Perhaps venting this will ease my frustration!!!!??
Meant the hob !!

On the other hand, he's very tidy, open one of his drawers or cupboards - neat as a new pin. Even his workshop! Open one of my cupboards or drawers at your peril. Tidy house, untidy mind!
