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

Would be true Jalima except DH has never drunk tea!

Oh yes, phoenix, MrBags too re envelopes. So messy, apart from anything else!

Ah yes, the doors left open
The drawers left open
[sigh]

I think leaving a drop in the bottom of the cup could stem from the days when there used to be tea leaves in the bottom if their mum didn't use a sieve

Completely ridiculous I know, but I have never known anyone who opens envelopes the way he does! Totally unimportant, but irks me!

"The hell" is a bit strong but it does irritate me that he doesn't screw lids on things properly. Mild grrr.

mrsmop yes I wonder why I have it switched on at the moment. But it would freeze outside up here in the Highlands. Tell your OH to get a man-shed, every man should have one!

Good idea Tizliz, but we have no garage. To be honest, it's so cold at the moment, he could keep it all outside the back door. Hidden in a recycling bin or the compost bin for example.

He leaves the door open. Every one he passes through, and then complains that he's cold!

mrsmopp mine did that so I bought him a fridge for himself - it is in the garage. Find it useful when we have lots of visitors.

Pittcity that's hilarious - more so because i never finish a cup of coffee and always leave some in the bottom - must remember to tell my other half that excuse the next time he mentions it!

Fills the fridge with cans of beer and various bottles of things so there is no room for actual food.

thanks for your welcome gillybob

yes, I should have chosen a shorter name, I may have to rethink that LOL

Mine never drinks the bit at the bottom of the cup. When asked why, he says he doesn't like that bit and could I not put it in in future.

Wendysue DH does that too, and with people's names.
His dear mum gave us much hilarity as she came out with many unintentional spoonerisms (we never let on ).

A warm welcome to GN middleagedmenopausalmum blimey that took some typing !

I told my DH off yesterday morning after a particularly noisy wash. He just doesn't get it and like your DH he just laughs it off.

He tells me that I have got annoying habits too but he chooses to keep them to himself. I asked him to point any one of them out and he said he would prefer not to ! Yeah likely.

in other words I am like Mary Poppins. Practically perfect in every way

Hi everyone,
I'm new here but I just had to jump into this one, hop you don't mind without a formal introduction.

My hubby has the most annoying habit of picking his fingernails, anywhere and everywhere.
He will then leave the pickings wherever he happened to be at the time the picking occurred.

I have told him about it over and over again but he just laughs, he thinks its funny.

Grrrrrrrrrr

If DH mispronounces a word, he'll keep mispronouncing it, even if someone tells him what the correct pronunciation is. Not a terrible fault, really, but oh!

He sings familiar songs and gets the words.wrong. He sings the same wrong words every time. Annoying in a very small way.

What a good laugh I've had reading all this! Don't know what my dear late husband would have been doing to irritate me. He certainly didn't do anything that I can think of. I just miss him so so much. So be grateful you still have yours. You never know! ...

Granarchist are we married to brothers?

Pretty much everything!

This is such a funny thread I too have slept in a separate room for years but it was discovered he had sleep apnoea some years ago so now has a Cpap machine which has stopped his snoring during the night (not on the sofa though) so I no longer hear him through the floorboards! Another thing he does is sit staring into space if he's bored - no tv on, no iPad, phone or anything else - says he's 'thinking' but makes me feel guilty if I'm not sitting with him. He also starts to clear away the table when he's finished - even if I haven't! On the plus side though he drives us everywhere, insists on paying for everything when we're out, would sell his soul to help our family, and has (and still does) worked incredibly long hours all his life so no - I wouldn't swap mine either

Oh, well it'll have to be earplugs then.... [sympathy emoticon]

Slight problemo Indiana I don't have a "spare" room. I only have 2 bedrooms and the second room is bunk beds and a little pull out (for the 3 DGC) . I don't think I could sleep in any of those with my back .

He is NOW driving me bonkers !

gillybob . There is a third option, of course - move into the spare room. That's what I did when I couldn't take the sleepless nights any more. Ah the bliss! A snore-free room with a double bed all to myself
