Re: Crappy husband vs. awesome husband

  • He's a crappy husband because... sometimes he takes his work stress out on me and gets mad at me for things before talking to me about them and getting the full story. He leaves Q-tips in his pockets after cleaning his ears with them image and I end up finding them days later when I'm doing laundry.He's an awesome husband because... he works SUPER hard for people he hates so he can afford for us to have nice things and build up our savings. He totally supports my career choice even though it means I'll be unemployed for another year and never make all that much money. He cooks dinner for me a lot, even though he works all day. And most importantly, he kills all the spiders in the house for me! image

  • Haha.  I didn't do the wife one because I have no idea, but I could scrape up some things to say for this one...

    Crappy... he seems to be incapable of cleaning anything, ever except the cat box (and only because I'm allergic to the litter).  He hides his used dishes.  Clutter follows him like a tornado, only worse.  It's very frustrating.  If I weren't there he would be wading around in a foot of taco bell and newspaper refuse.  He fully admits this.  He never did his own laundry until I met him.  He didn't make his mother wash it, he just wore it.

     Awesome... Everything else. He loves me, he supports me, he babies me when I need it, he loves children and animals, he's not afraid to bring home the bacon, he throws bugs out of the house for me, he changes the liter so I don't get hives, he manages the bills for me so I don't accidentally overdraw our accounts, I could go on and on...

  • ohhhh great....

    he's a crappy husband cause he snores and drives me nuts!!!

    he's a great husband cause he takes out the garbage without being asked, sometimes does laundry without being asked and even loves me so much when i am screaming and yelling...and he just takes it and lets me be crazy for a bit....lol

  • Excellent idea!

    He's a crappy husband because...he leaves his dirty socks ALL OVER; he watches professional wrestling; and he completely zones out when watching TV, to the point where he doesn't hear anything I say.

    He's an awesome husband because...he tells me I'm beautiful every day; makes me laugh all.the.time; surprises me with little, thoughtful gifts; sells t-shirts at every single one of my band's shows; will gladly run out and get me anything I'm craving (and NO, I'm not pregnant!)...I could go on and on, but he's the best :)

  • He's a crappy husband because... he gets really really excited about all of his races that he doesn't think about money. Same thing with this trip he's on. I feel like I'd never drop $120 on something random, or take off without him for almost two weeks. he's also starting to exhibit signs of his mothers hoarding gene when it comes to newspapers and magazines. No, you probably wont want to read this article in a few years.

    He's an awesome husband because... he totally takes care of me and supports me. When I was dealing with everything with my job, he did EVERYTHING around the house. I would come home, sit down and zone out, and he would make dinner, clean, iron my clothes if I needed, picked stuff up at the store, and so much more. One time I called him crying on my way home, and when I got there, he wasn't home. He got home about 5 minutes later with a pizza from my favorite place. he also can't get enough of me even though I've gained 30 pounds since we met, and I honestly dont really see what he sees. he lets me gorge on brownie sundaes every now and then...ohh so many things.

  • He's a crappy husband because: wow, I can't think of much here.  He whines about his job A LOT. He is extremely indecisive so I feel like I have to make all of the decisions all of the time. I make decisions all day at school, I don't want to do it at home. Instead of fighting he just clams up, it irritates the s*** out of me. 

    He's an awesome husband because: he works 60+ hours a week at a job that he hates to support me through my masters program so that I don't have to work. He agrees to go on all of my crazy adventures with me, and will run out any time to get whatever food that I want. He loves my family and completely agrees with me that his mom is nuts.  He always tells me that I'm beautiful. He loves our two dogs and is going to be an awesome daddy. He will do laundry and dishes and vacuum without me asking him. 

  • Ashley...did I know you had two dogs?

    I just found a rescue today that I fell in love with. I'm dying for DH to get home so we can make some decisions!

    What kind of dog did you find?! I don't know if I had said anything about our dogs before or not. We rescued both of them, one as a puppy (the hound looking one, she's 5 now), and the other was 6 (the lhasa-poo, who is now 10).  I would rescue another if we had time/money for it! 

    Here is what it typically looks like at our house at night :)

    Here is a better picture of them...it was dinner time and they wanted their food.

  • They are so cute!

    I found a rescue in TN...he's a mix of a shih tzu and an austrailian cattle dog...so freakin adorable. He also has about five siblings.

  • OMG they are soooo cute! word of advice though, dogs on petfinder go fast, so I'd go ahead and send an email inquiring or even fill out a preliminary application. Are they old enough to be adopted yet?
  • He's a crappy husband because...He complains about his job and how tired he is all the time. I know he works a crazy schedule, but I know that 96% of the time, it's not really stressful at all, and he watches tv and silly internet videos. And he has the ability to make our house look like a tornado hit within 24 hours after any cleaning I do. He likes making piles of anything and everything, from socks, to dishes, to comics....le sigh...
    He's an awesome husband because...when he does take the time to clean, he'll pretty much clean the whole house. He cooks me dinner when I really need it. He rubs my back since my back has been really sore the past few months. He tells me I'm beautiful, sexy, and apparently doesn't see the 40 lbs I've gained since we met. He has learned when I need him to put down the video game remote and spend time with me.

    At least your husband makes piles. Mine seems to avoid piles. He likes to spread his mess out to cover every possible surface. I've taken to making piles of his stuff everywhere just so I can feel like there's some sort of order to things!
