Annoying domestic habits of your spouse!

[Lillith]

But yet you still nagged before offering up the compliment. I feel if men were to start complaining like the women do, they just wouldnt be able to keep as silent and find reason to retort moreso than men do.

Nope…I vented. I have never told my husband that this bothers me.

i know i have habits annoying to Frank! for instance, he leaves the toilet lid up, and I go into the bathroom, and flip the lid down and it clunks ( I intentionally do that ) loudly, and I say to him, lsiten to this! He automatically knows what he has done, and he sheepishly grins at me and says, oh sorry! That is annoying to me. Frank doesn’t get annoyed often, when he does, his eyebrows frown, and that is the extent of it. He doesn’t like it when I 'clutter up the coffee table" ( leaving books on it, coffee cup, tylenol and wallet, plus a bag of cookies or crackers ) Other than that, we don’t generally have habits that bug each other. We are pretty much in sync ( not the band ) with each other.

My husband is generally pretty easy to get along with. Living in a house full of women, he puts up with a lot from the rest of us girls! The only think I would have to say is that he leaves dirty socks on the floor a lot, or sometimes leaves dirty dishes in the living room or in the bedroom.

I’m sure that he could make a very long list of my annoying domestic habits. I think that I’m aware of a lot of them, and that keeps me from complaining about the few that he has.

I’m sure that I am more difficult to live with than he is.

It kind of keeps me humble.

If you got married 10 days ago, isn’t she your present wife?

Congrats!

Er…yeah. Thanks.

My husband’s takes the cake. This is his habit: He is very patient and tolerant, and never criticizes me or complains. If something’s not done–like 5:00 and no sign of supper–he just quietly goes about doing it. I grew up in a household in which expressing annoyance was raised to an art form, so sometimes, even after 17 years of marriage, I wonder, “What’s he *really *thinking? What is he suppressing?”

I have so enjoyed this thread! The worst thing I can say about my Hubby is that he’s a saint. Believe me,it’s not easy but that’s my cross to bear .
My list of annoying habits would be a thread unto itself so I’ll leave it at that.

My husband’s annoying habits:

1. He likes to strip down to his underwear when he gets home from work. Then, when I ask if he could take out the trash, he says he can’t because he’s not dressed.
2. He falls asleep on the sofa (all sprawled out in his Underroo glory) after supper every night - yet he tends to have an opinion on what “we” should watch on TV in the evenings.
3. He likes to lip synch/sing along with/air guitar to every stupid song he hears. Even our two-year-old begs him to please stop.
4. He can fit an entire baked potato in his mouth, and most of his forkfuls are about that big. This means that he’s usually finished his dinner while I’m still unfolding my napkin and picking up my fork.

Oh my goodness, I just got a good 2-minute laugh out of this post. Thanks for sharing!!

St. Augustine wrote of a man with a gas problem here on earth, but in heaven his flatulence became perfect music.

I remind my wife of this when she complains of my annoying habits.

I absolutely love this.

Makes me think that God knows, understands and loves each and everyone of us just as we are. Personality quirks included.

He knew we’d drive each other crazy with all our annoying bad habits. I would think that all these are opportunities to work toward perfection…especially toward that second commandment

You know, when God commanded us to love our neighbor as much as ourselves, this included our husbands. And I notice I don’t complain much about myself, but then I “notice” the things my husband does.

Observe, but quiet the complaints in my heart. And if I speak about them to anyone besides my priest when I’m on the brink of sanity, then I’m just gossiping about my husband.

Then there are some really stupid things that I do. I think it would break my heart to find out he talked about the things to a bunch of people.

“Venting” isn’t an excuse.
