Re: This board is dead- Poll time!!
1. What is one thing you really love about your DH?
How handy & creative he is. My DH can fix anything with anything. He is MacGyver, not joking.
2. What is something you still refuse to do in front of your DH?
Yoga
3. What is your biggest pet peeve about your DH?
Laundry and towels! He leaves his dirty clothes and towels (clean or used) every where but the laundry basket or towel rod! WHYYY
4. What is something you do for your DH that you think is silly, but he loves it?
I wake him up every morning massaging his shoulders. He is so accustomed to it that he won't wake up if you just speak to him.
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~
DH was not ready for IUI so we waited
~Started acupuncture in May 2014~
~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
1. What is one thing you really love about your DH?
His confidence, and the quirky smile he makes when I catch him doing something really sweet and sappy (he gets embarrassed).
2. What is something you still refuse to do in front of your DH?
Pass gas or go to the bathroom. I still want to be ladylike around him, and there are just certain things that should remain a mystery.
3. What is your biggest pet peeve about your DH?
He basically gets undressed in front of the couch, then walks right by the hamper to go take his shower, every day after work, but leaves his clothes on the floor. If you are going to walk by the hamper anyway, why can't you get undressed by it and put your clothes in? LOL
4. What is something you do for your DH that you think is silly, but he loves it?
He always tries to get me to participate in the weird singing he does randomly, and it's taken me a while to not be completely embarrassed.
Bonus** For those of you that watch HIMYM, which one of you is the Reacher, and which one is the Settler?
Haha, this is a good show that H and I watch a lot together. Well, since he was the one that told me that he decided to flirt with my friend instead of me (because he didn't think he had a chance with me), I'd say he was the reacher, but in reality, I think we are both reachers. I don't consider myself out of his league, or visa versa.
1. What is one thing you really love about your DH?
He makes me laugh. My husband's a very serious man, but he will act like a complete fool, disregarding everyone else, for the sole purpose of making me laugh.
2. What is something you still refuse to do in front of your DH?
I don't really hide any of my behavior from him, other than the obvious stuff like going to the bathroom; I'm a strictly "closed-door" woman. I guess when he goes out of town on business, sometimes I sit around in my pajamas, eating Oreos and milk while watching a chick flick. It's not like I'm hiding anything; I just don't do it in front of him.
3. What is your biggest pet peeve about your DH?
He won't stop stealing the covers!!! Drives me crazy.
4. What is something you do for your DH that you think is silly, but he loves it?
I always scratch his back right before we fall asleep. I've never done that for anyone, but he loves it. It's so cute.
1. What is one thing you really love about your DH? - He seems to make everything better!
2. What is something you still refuse to do in front of your DH? Change a tampon.
3. What is your biggest pet peeve about your DH? If he doesn't know the answer, he gets flustered. I tell him he doesn't have to know everything, it's OK!
4. What is something you do for your DH that you think is silly, but he loves it? I'd say make his lunch now and then.
1. What is one thing you really love about your DH?
How level-headed he is. I tend to be really emotional and sometimes get upset over silly things and he just lets me rant for a minute and then calms me down. It's hard for us to argue because while I tend to say whatever without thinking he never speaks unless he plans what to say.
2. What is something you still refuse to do in front of your DH?
Pretty much anything athletic. I am not fit or athletic at all (working on being more active) so I hate working out in front of him. I'm trying to get over it, though.
3. What is your biggest pet peeve about your DH?
He will only clean if something is really bothering him and even then he could be home ALL day with a sink full of dishes and when I get home from an 8-10 hour day at work he'll mention the dishes need to be done. But I love him for it. He is scared to clean because he thinks I will just re-do everything- and he's usually right.
4. What is something you do for your DH that you think is silly, but he loves it?
Can't think of anything good right now. Hmph.
Bonus** For those of you that watch HIMYM, which one of you is the Reacher, and which one is the Settler?
Well, we are definitely Marshall and Lily, we always laugh about how much we resemble them a lot of the time, but I think we switch roles on that one.
1. What is one thing you really love about your DH?
I LOVE watching him interact with our pets. I know there are so many people out there who think of pets as nothing special, but I have always treated mine like family and so does my DH. We have two cats and a dog and he is SO good with them, watching him snuggle and play with them and talk in baby talk to them always makes me smile, and reassures me he's going to be an awesome human daddy.
2. What is something you still refuse to do in front of your DH?
I will sing in the shower, I will sing quietly in the car if we're listening to the radio/CD, but I still cannot sing normally in front of DH. I get all embarrassed and stop if I realize he's listening. Also, like others have said, I refuse to do anything related to tampons in front of him. I'm fine with going to the bathroom in front of him but if it's that time of the month he gets kicked out and the door locked.
3. What is your biggest pet peeve about your DH?
His manners at the dinner table. I was raised from an early age to know that you eat with elbows off the table, sit straight up, chew with your mouth closed, etc. Well DH on the other hand must've been raised in a barn or something. We will go out to dinner at a nice restaurant and he will slump over his plate, elbows on the table, and literally shovel food into his mouth. He also will text in the middle of dinner while we are out. Table manners are my #1 pet peeve, so to have my DH do these things infuriates me like no other.
4. What is something you do for your DH that you think is silly, but he loves it?
There are several little stupid things I've done that DH cracked up over. Every now and then if we're out at dinner, he'll ask me if he has anything in his teeth so then I will curl my lip up over my top teeth slowly and ask him if I have anything in my teeth, he says he hates it but he can't contain his laughter. Other times we'll be talking and I will make it so that one of my eyes is facing out and one is cross-eyed, and he loves it. DH is kind of a child when it comes to some things, but if he gets a kick out of them I'll keep doing them
