What does your DH or partner do that irritates the hell out of you?

mine has to be right all the time & if you prove he was wrong he insists he said the right answer all along

Mine talks to telly especially when politics being discussed. Moans when driving but overall he makes up for that by just being him x

Haven't laughed so much in ages! Mine is adorable and whenever I get fed up with his two annoying habits I think how trivial they are and how much worse it might be. He never, ever puts anything away, and he almost always cross-threads the caps of jars he opens. (He's an engineer, obviously). But he's incredibly kind and I feel like a heel for even writing this; I can't 'outkind' him however hard I try so I think I have the better deal by far.

I love the picture GNHQ has added to the updates. If DH looked like that I might have overlooked the irritating splashing

He did it this morning at 06.30 (okay better than 5am) and for the first time ever I LOL thinking about this silly thread.

I have laughed and laughed reading some of the other "minor irritations" . How do we saintly ladies put up with them?

My DH always goes for a wee just when dinner is ready, he has had the whole day to go, but he leaves it until dinner is on the plate!

Plus another thing that annoys me beyond words and I know it is trivial, when he makes a coffee, he nearly stirs the bottom out of the mug and he does it for ages! ggggrrrrr!

I do love him, really! except at these times!

Wires....everywhere...and tools. Especially on the table where we have our meals. The space for eating food is decreasing in size. And I am not allowed to move anything. Sometimes I set his place on top of the piles and let him work through that one himself.

How long have you got?
One of the better ones is that he`s the only person I know who chews ice cream! (oh, and jelly!)

Where do I begin? Twiddle his fingers, usually when I am lying on his shoulder watching TV and in my eyesight. Slips down into almost horizontal position when sitting on sofa. Blames sofa then complains of a bad back! Falls asleep bolt upright snoring with book sliding off bed and interrogation light full blast. Decides to empty kitchen bin in front of cooker when I am about to remove meal. Checks each car door. Apart from these irritating things I absolutely adore him

Every evening my DH will take off his watch and spin it round on his finger and also repeatedly throw throw ( luckily, lightly) the TV remote up in the air and catch it. The two sounds drive me mad and when I say Stop he says "why ?" Won't carry on as I need to go to bed tonight. He's very nice really.

I've had a great laugh reading some of these posts while the current husband watches yet more football ... every night this week if memory serves me right!
That apart (I usually escape upstairs to my craft room and leave him to it) the most annoying habit he has is that he HAS to go to the loo in the morning before he will consider going out anywhere. Plus if, God forbid, he has to go more than once a day he has to share!!! As a night shift worker for years and years I have never been such a creature of habit so just don't get it!!! Grrrrrrrr!

And for those who live alone ...... I have a relative who lives alone and talks non stop when she visits and it is impossible to stop her even to tell her that she has already told me that. I am convinced that she wouldn't even stop if I told her that the house was on fire. Probably wouldn't hear as she never listens - just talks.
DH thinks she should take the "I've started so I'll finish" mantra for her very own.

Come to think of it ...... DH has to finish whatever he has started to say even though it is glaringly obvious and has been overtaken by events. Now that is even more irritating than what my relative does! I wonder why that is.

Please do not worry annsixty, you could have been describing mine!
Actually he takes great delight in telling me something that he thinks I don't know when in fact it was me who told him in the first place.
Every time he sneezes it is followed by a "dear me!".
I could happily shoot him.

I didn't read it like that either annsixty - I was merely commenting on the difficulties of dementia ... xxx

ann ??

ann I didn't read it like that, so don't beat yourself up! ?

Oh dear huge retraction here? I have re read my post and I am mortified. I didn't mean my H isn't very nice I meant his bad habit isn't very nice I feel awful now so need forgiving.?

Comments making me
Have lived alone for nearly 24 years!!!

SusanCh more irritating than the 'you're not cold are you?' comment (which my DH is also fond of saying) is the 'It's not cold!' comment. 'Oh isn't it? How odd. I could have sworn that I felt cold! Must be mistaken.'

I have a lovely fleece throw that is actually an electric blanket. When I sit on the sofa in the evening I have this over me and I'm toasty warm.

Mine asks stupid questions. We never agree on how high the heating should be. I tend to be cold, but I've given up complaining because it's not worth having to listen to him puffing and blowing because he's too warm. I'm quite happy to put an extra cardigan on, but what drives me mad is that every time I go upstairs and come back with a thick cardi on, he says "you're not cold, are you?" What a stupid question - I wouldn't have put another cardi on if I was warm enough, would I!

Indinana , I can feel your pain !

He drives me mad by suggesting we go for a walk and then spending the whole time with his headphones in listening to the radio, so I am left talking to myself! Bloody rude, but I wouldn't swap him!

Some of these comments have really made me laugh and also reinforced the pure joy of being single !

I live with the snoring, as I believe he cannot help it.

I find it hard to live with his " dirt blindness", as he alleges he cannot see that the bathroom/ kitchen needs cleaned.
