Does Your SO Ever Say or Do Something That Just Gets on Your Nerves

If I'm asking my husband to explain something that he's better at than me, say taxes or math, he has no patience and usually before I've asked even one question, he says "come on, it's not that hard". If I said that to him about everything he doesn't understand or is wrong about, it would be all I say! :-)

Oh, and the other big one is "relax". That's the worst thing to say to a stressed person, because I'm still stressed only now I also want to kick his a^*.

Thanks for posting this! Hope to see other responses!

Yes, guys often lack a "filter" before they speak. But, the best way to change your situation is to show him you need more from him but, not in a negative way. I would recommend, either or both, Fireproof the movie or the Love Dare book, for both of you. So, many guys put a lot of effort into getting the girl but, once that task is accomplished they hit auto pilot. It sounds like that is where your guy is. Let him know that you NEED him to be more involved. Sometimes guys forget that a woman NEEDS to feel cherished. trust me I've been in your shoes & when your guy really beings to put you first it will make you want to do more, be more for your husband.

Yes, my husband says things without thinking, but I let him know it bothers me. By the way, your husband isn't doing his share. He should be up every week day morning helping with the children and getting one or two things done around the house. Maybe you wouldn't become so irritated by his comments if you weren't so tired from doing all the work. Good luck!!

Constantly-it's his job. Don't worry-when the children are teenagers-it will take an electric cattle prod to get them out of bed!

When I saw the heading for you post my first thought was UMMMM he's male. Men often do not engage brain before opening mouth. He can learn how to be more considerate though, time to teach him.
As far as your schedule goes he needs to get up earlier and do some housework before work. He can do a load of laundry, start dinner in a slow cooker, vacumm etc. If does one thing a day before work your life will be so much easier.

Does a bear sh!t in the woods?

I love my fiance with all my heart, but omg... sometimes, I want to scream 'what are you THINKING!?' My kids put their dirty clothes in the hamper and dirty dishes in the sink... his stuff lays there until I'm so tired of tripping over it that I clean it up myself.

From the time he gets off work until the kids go to bed, he's on the phone/computer/xbox.... How's about a little help here dude?!

He leaves cabinet doors open. Look honey! You open it, take out a glass, and clooooose it. (then please refer to my first complaint; when you're done, it goes in the SINK, not [enter somewhere wrong]).

And do you REALLY need to go through 7 bath towels a week? Are you THAT gross that you can't reuse the towel ONCE? Refer to my first complaint.

I joke all the time that he's still 'in training' or 'being domesticated'... but some days when I'm super busy and overwhelmed, he's definately part of the problem, not part of the solution.

All that being said, I have full faith that ONE day he will 'get it'... until then, I'll just wait for my MIL to arrive and teach him ;)

They just don't think. I always think before I speak my hubs just blurts out whatever, drives me wacko. You are NOT alone!

My husband seems to need to look for buried treasure up his nose all the time! It's disgusting. He also likes to chew LOUDLY.
I make him sound like a neanderthal...but he's a good egg.
L.

No, never. NOT!!

Of course, there are dozens of them. People's idiosyncrasies are really annoying.

The thing my fiance does that bothers me the most is he holds his money over my head. i'm a SAHM by both of our choice. and when we're fighting or even joking around he'll mention that the bed is his, the couch is his, he paid for everything, this is his house because he pays the rent and everything. and it really pisses me off when he does it. so every time he does i ask him if i need to look for a job then, and he thinks i'm blowing things out of proportion. but it really gets under my skin when he says it. because i supported him while i was in school and got financial aid when he didn't. but i never once held it over his head. grrr at men and women being so different in things...

What in the world does "SO" stand for?

Nope! Guess I'm just one of the lucky ones. My hubby always thinks before he speaks and is very considerate. Ohhh, I'm a lucky woman! :-)

When he made his comment, you could've come back with, "you mean sleeping until 9:00 everyday isn't sleeping in?", with a smirk on your face of course, so as not to start a fight.

There's about one week a month when everything that he utters sends me into a tither.
Oh and I have played games. Mine likes to sleep in too. So on Saturday I will get the kids up, go in and wake him and say something like, We are leaving in 15 minutes for the zoo, Busch Gardens, a museum, the whatever, It is really fun to watch him scramble to get up and join us. I do this after he has really pissed me off or if it's that one week where everything he says sends me off the deep-end. It's a wonder the poor guy stays married to me.
