Square,

That would take a bit of acrobatics of which I'm not sure I'm capable.

Just got back in from meetings. Owl, how horrible to do that to you. Glad you have someone better now.

Mine had actually been threatening to quit for a few months, so I was semi-prepared for it. I guess the biggest issue was control, meaning he wanted to control everything, without including me in the equation.

We get along famously now (except if I get mad at him, then it's either World War 3 or the Ice Ages). But that's not too often.

GAL, I just have one question...when MM is walking around in the nude, does he scare the duckies?

*My husband has more hair products... He has very short hair but thinks he needs mousse and everything else on it. (Keeps it in shape)
*He always thinks I know where everything is that he lost. How would I know where he left his keys?
*He likes to throw the mail and paper on the dining room table. (I'm always moving it)

You know when you are out shopping and you decide you don't want something you have put in your basket? Well, I just put it on the nearest shelf(not food items) and this bugs my DH which annoys me! Also, he keeps his dresser drawers very neat and I don't, this annoys me. Maybe he should be posting on this thread.

No, Ddr they love him but he scares the gooseshit out of the geese. That has more to do with the fact that he fires bottlerockets at them, though. They scatter and run for cover anytime he just looks out the window, much less strolls out on the deck.

Well, women ahve a larger ratio than men at TVCH.
So it makes sense that most of the posters would be women.

I don't have a spouse and won't for quite a while, if ever, so I'm just sitting here reading and laughing

that's a good answer neko. okay the way my wife watches tv is annoying - she walks out of the rooom constantly or reads or talks on the phone, etc, etc. then she asks me to tell her what happened. another good reason for having tivo, i just back it up and replay what she missed. needless to say it takes about 75 mins to watch an hour show. LOL

Sasman,

Just wear padding, and it won't hurt as much.

My husband will circle the parking lot endlessly looking for THE parking spot. Not because he doesn't want to walk too far. It's just a thrill of the hunt kind of thing.

And he uses a spoon to spread peanut butter and mayo on bread. Don't know why that annoys me, but it does.

And when he drives my van, he moves the seat way up and blasts the stereo. (However, he hardly ever dents it, which is more than I can say for when I drive his truck.)

Whenever he answers the phone and it's for me he can never just give me the phone. He has to say something like "No, she's not here, she's out gambling." or "She went to the strip club to work for a few hours." or "No, she doesn't want to talk to you, Mary, she was just telling me today how much she can't stand you."

That said, I love him with all my heart anyway!

It is just the little things that get on my nerves.

You know, leaving the drawers open just a tad instead of completely closing them. I go around slamming them shut - just to be annoying myself. lol

Puts things away in a different place all the time. My excuse for him is that he lives here part-time (works 24 hour shift) and gets confused and puts it where they do at the station. (I do think at times he does it on purpose. lol)

His memory is horrible! I can tell him something 17x and he still forgets. And, no, it isn't selective hearing although he is very GOOD with that too. lol

He gets in a trance while watching tv. I swear, I or my ds could sit there and have a conversation with him and he is clueless that we are even there. Funny to watch a 4 year old yell at his daddy, "HEY! Daddy! I am talking to you! Pay attention."

maybe i'm just too old, but i do some of the things your mates do that irritate you! my husband is pretty good.
mine doesn't pay attention and that bothers me, but i am learning to not let it bug me so much. he is hard of hearing, but he also has selective hearing!
i think it's funny what he does to clean up, such as when i brought a new baby home after a c-section or we have 20 people coming to visit...

he'll clean out the tupperware drawer, or clean out his military crap from the closet, or clean behind the fridge. you know, the important stuff!
when i came home from camping 2 weeks ago, all of the kitchen drawers were basically empty. but in the garage were 5 laundry baskets full of kitchen utensils, soaps, s.o.s. pads, hardwood floor cleaner, etc. i have no idea what he thought he was doing, and have been bringing in items one by one as i need them, and putting them back into drawers and under the kitchen sink. i fell down laughing when i walked into the garage. there was no use in getting mad or asking what the hell he thought he was doing, cause i'll bet he would have no rhyme or reason for doing it...and probably thought somewhere in his cute little twisted way, that he was doing something worthwhile...??? LOL
i just found that laughing really hard (jogging on the inside) and saying,under my breath, "what the hell did he think he was accomplishing?!" gets me through!

Try not to get one Neko. They take an incredible amount of training and are annoying as hell. And it doesn't really get any easier. I've been training this one for 28 years, and sometimes he's still clueless.

TheOwl, I just got here too, so couldn't comment earlier. I am glad you divorced the SOB or I'd want to divorce him FOR you.

Bigdog is getting gray around the muzzle and a tad hard of hearing but won't admit it. He has started the mumbling wife routine. There is nothing wrong with his hearing; the wife has taken up mumbling. The Costco hearing aid section has a brochure that sits on the counter that you almost have to see as you exit the store. The brochure headline says, "My Wife Mumbles." It is funnier than snot.

But he's really, really cute, Juju ....for an old coot, that is.

Neko, some of them have to work extra, extra hard taking care of people like me so I think some others of the guys might think they can slack of too make up for the over achievers.

I can always tell when hubby has been in the kitchen. Any towels that were hanging nice and neat are now wet and crumbled up on the counter. Drawers are never closed. Food is left out for me to put away.

The bathroom is a whole other story. He thinks that if its just p there is no need to flush. Saves on the water bill don't ya know.

And I'm convinced he has no idea how to turn on a vacuum.

But, having said all that, I love him anyway.
