Things YOU do....

...that annoy your H. It's only fair. :)

-I tend to leave dishes on the coffee table (we eat in front of the tv.) 

-I baby-talk the cats. Sometimes excessively, on purpose, to annoy him. Who's a schmoopie-woopie-baby-waby-kittie-wittie??

-He hates the way I drive. Hates it. To be fair, I think I need to go to the eye doctor. I have uncorrected astigmatism and I think I have a depth perception problem, because I find myself slamming on my brakes maybe more than I should.

-He claims I talk unnecessarily loud when I'm on the phone. Sometimes at other times, but mostly on the phone.

-We have this eternal argument about how the toothpaste should be squeezed and why it even matters. Sigh!

-He also says I'm on my computer way too much. Teehee. (Again to be a little more fair, I do work paperwork mostly at home and I do that on the computer. But sometimes....I'm dinking around. Like now!)

Re: Things YOU do....

  • - tense up when my H drives. I have 'assured clear distance' anxiety and IMO, he follows way too close sometimes. H gets annoyed when he sees me pressing on an imaginary brake pedal on the passenger side and inhaling sharply.

    - remind him that it's a work night when he goes out with his friends and request he please be a responsible decision maker about leaving the gathering and driving home.

    - jump to the naysaying before I've heard him out. I'm working on it.

     I have to add, the man doesn't actually complain about anything but the naysaying. If you ask him, his wife is awesome and he should probably ease a little further back from that car's bumper, and get home a little earlier on Wednesday night.

  • -H feels I'm a pessimist, I prefer to call it a realist.

    - messes drive me apesh!t.  Should it really matter what he does in "his" bathroom?  To him, no...but, to the one who cleans it, it's annoying.  I am working on relaxing about it AND making him help with the chores

    -get easily annoyed with lots of questions.  I know he's just curious, but the answers just seem obvious to me. I need to remember that at least he's willing to ask (however, this does NOT apply to the gym when I'm in the middle of a weightlifting set and he asks me "what's next" when it's written down on the flipping paper RIGHT THERE!).  I swear sometimes he asks, ''why?" just to test me.

    - i'm moody, I admit it.  I frequently don't sleep well- up at least 3 times a night.  I'm tired all.the.time and snap at him too much.  Working on this!

  • -I'm on my computer too much.

    -I get angry pretty easy. 

    -I'm a huge perfectionist.

    -He mainly teases me about this but that I often sign and talk at the same time and sometimes I will have sentences that have Spanish words thrown in. So occasionally the tri-lingual this is a bit annoying.

  • In our house, I'm the messy one. It's DH's number 1 complaint by far. Mostly, clothes. I do have random piles here and there. But the organization makes sense to me, I swear!

  • P......M.......S

    That is all that needs to be said.

  • -H hates my driving. I have major road rage and he hates it!

    -thinks some of my eating habits are weird (BBQ sauce on Turkey, Parmesan cheese on chili, etc...)

    -I cant think of anything else, only because its early lol

  • - I like things to be put away when you're done with them.  He is perfectly content leaving things like his notebook/folder from class from two days prior on the kitchen counters.

    - I press the imaginary brake pedal and sometimes grab the ceiling of the car for no freaking reason.  But in my defense, I feel like he waits until the last possible minute to start breaking, so it freaks me out.

    - I'm not a morning person; EVER!  When he wakes up and is all happy go lucky and gets in my face, I generally scoff.

    - He thinks the toothpaste should be squeezed a certain way.  I don't care; if it comes out, that's all I want.

    - When I leave the room I'm in, I pick up my dishes.  He thinks its just dandy to leave 3 day old milk remnants in the cup in the living room.

    - He hates that I mill over something I want to buy.  Like last night, we went to the mall and I wanted new eyeshadow from Sephora.  I spent at least 15 minutes picking up and putting back the same color b/c I was unsure if I should spend the money on myself.

    I could probably come up with a good list, but in the past 2 years I've def gotten a bit better on the silly/small things that I used to freak over.
