What is your partners most annoying habit?

I know what you mean Sara1954. We're on the same page, I just don't want to talk about it.

All those mentioned, plus this.
The dishwasher has gone on, I have done a bit of handwashing and left the water in the bowl, ready for him to wash up his ice cream dish which he has after everything is done. I go into the kitchen later, the dish is unwashed on the side, the bowl of water is still there.

If I go out and come back later after he has had his meal the dish cloth looks like he cleaned his bike with it. I don't know how he does it. He does bang on about politics too much too. Overall he is a good husband who looks after me and our house and family so I can throw the dishcloth away and get another one - does annoy me though.

Oh my goodness I can identify with the majority of these!

HillyN - oh my, your post so made me roar with laughter ?.

My MrSunshine has only recently retired, so it’s like we’re getting to know each other all over again! He feels he has to be busy ALL day, whereas I now like to take things slow and easy. I’m sure I drive him potty sometimes too ? but I’m so grateful that we still have each other ?

I obviously trained my husband very well in the early days - his only little habit is not remembering things, which often works in my favour as I can say "well I did tell you" as things are being delivered.

There are far too many to list, in fact as he gets older they increase in number.

His total inability to close the door between our kitchen and conservatory, the way out to the garden. Letting in freezing air in the winter and stifling hot air in the current heatwave. Never, never shuts it behind him. Occasionally I have locked him out.

When I'm cooking it's good that he always asks if there's anything he can do to help. The answer is usually the washing up. The problem is that he then hovers waiting for dirty dishes and gets under my feet. I've even known clean utensils and dishes I've got out ready to use be washed up before I have a chance to use them!!! Wouldn't swap him though.

Ranting, the older he gets the more he rants! It can be about anything, but especially politics and the changing world in which we live.

Being completely unable to understand that I actually ENJOY working in the garden, and every week offering to "get a bloke in to do it" or "Let's put paving down to save you the bother".

I can track his progress around the house by the drawers, cupboards, doors etc he leaves open .

Me too and also by the trail of detritus he leaves. He never puts anything away. Screwdrivers, cups, empty boxes, you name it, he leaves it where it lands. Even more irritating is the pile of bits of paper, empty plastic bottles and packets that he leaves on the kitchen worktop above the recycling bin where it will go ‘later’ ?

If I ask him to close the door he always asks which one. The one that’s open!
Then in the evening asks if I mind if he watches the news, he’s usually asleep within a couple of minutes, gently snoring and for some reason with a cushion balanced on his head! ?

My husband is a retired chef, and can't/won't help me diet, and serves me far too much food at every meal. He helps being careful and weighing for 5-6 days then starts again with butter, cream and guestimation of weights etc. He won't let me cook (he's far better than me, and hates my cooking), hates me being in the kitchen to weigh stuff and due to my health issues I'm not able to cook anyway. I hate waste but leave 1/2 - 2/3rds of every meal...which either he eats or 'saves for later, never to be seen again and binned a few days later. For my health I need to lose weight but he sabotaged every idea I try

Lol first world problems. I love my single life.

I cal my DH half a job Stewart cos he only ever does half a job, enuff said.

I think it is bred into every man to put tasks off; my OH has been building a cabinet for about nine months and its still not complete.

He cannot make a decision on meals and when 'we' , and I do mean I, have decided what to have for dinner he will wait for me to make the first move to cook and then hover around in the kitchen!

He is a reasonable cook but brought with him some dubious methods from his ex wife, I soon changed those, particularly the one where he put cabbage in cold water, brought it to the boil and cooked the life out of it for around 15 minutes!

Snoring, definitely

Mine wears hearing aids but still says pardon ,or something similar, almost every time I say something, even though half the time he has actually heard me?

Sago. My husband has a very similar habit. Most stuff goes in dishwasher, but we have a few things we wash by hand. Mainly oven trays, outdoor melamine dishes, good glassware etc. Usually some goes straight into sink, but glassware or anything fragile sits at side of draining board till its washed later that day or next day. But I can guarantee if DH washes it, the stuff by side of drainer is still there! He says 'I didn't see it'. I tell him to check, but it doesn't help. Grr. He does, fortunately, have many redeeming traits.

Everything on here and more!! I’m seriously thinking of getting a little job to get away for a few hours here and there!

He used to microwave the sausages for the bbq so that they cooked quicker. He boasted about this to everyone but I refuse to eat them.

My husband does these funny hiccup things, really loud! Apparently his ex-wife used to say "do you HAVE to do that" ... he is definitely getting worse and I am itching to say the same thing, but it would get me into trouble!

Smoking

My ex had plenty annoying habits but thankfully they are now the problem of the younger model he traded me in for!

He complained that I discouraged him from cooking but I couldn't cope with the mess he made if he did as he would use a different bowl/chopping board/knife etc for every item even if they were about to be cooked together! By the time he'd finished every dirty utensil was spread around the kitchen, never rinsed or soaking in the sink. I didn't know where to begin to clear up. His mother is the same and I try to avoid offering to clear up if I visit her as I never know where to start!

He was quite a good cook though and I understand he does most of the cooking now but I don't suppose the mess has improved. I wonder if she's trained him to clear up.

Visiting the bathroom just as I’m going to dish up dinner and spending aaaggggeeeessss in there! ?
