When do you dislike your H?

Re: When do you dislike your H?

  • imagelisaiesha:

    I dislike my husband when he licks his bowl or plate after eating. I know my food is good and all, but that is going too far.

    When my H is sick, he will take his temperature every 10 minutes that he's awake and give me a full report. "I took my temp. at 1:54 and it was 99.599959 and then I took it again at 1:59 and it went up to 99.599963." Um, OK, am I supposed to graph that shiit for you?

    He also leaves piles of clothes and things everywhere. He is very unorganized and forgetful, unless he is at work, where is is very precise and all of that.

     Are we married to the same person? I swear to you my H took his temp 15 times in an hour last night!

  • When my H has a cough, instead of just giving one or two strong coughs to clear everything out, he will do an endless amount of teeny little coughs.  When I complain because he's disrupting my sleep at night, he says the big coughs will "tire out his chest."

    He can be too indulgent with his youngest sister, but then again, so can his entire family.

    Like other husbands here, he inexplicably has a different, "cool guy" phone voice when his friends call.  I mock it.

    I'm pretty sure my husband is a lot older than yours :) plus, he's pretty unique. He just gets all science geeky and obsessive about certain things. Taking his temp. is one, but he also checks like 3 different weather reports multiple times a day and when we are driving anywhere far, he will check the map a bazillion times.

    Dude. Mr. Shamwow does this too.  I call him Zoolander every time he gets a cough because they're so wimpy and squeaky.  And then he gets mad when I mock him and say "I've got the black lung"

    I also dislike the 15-30 minute period of time when we're climbing into bed to settle in for sleep because this is usually the time he gets hyperactive and turns all obnoxious and childish.  He's gotten a lot better about this one, but it still does happen occasionally

  • When he's sick, or when he THINKS he's sick.He's worse when he feels something coming on that isn't actually coming on.

    When I'm trying to have a nice relaxing bath sans baby and I hear a knock at the door and a head pop in and say "she really wants to see you. How much longer? She's doing something really cute!"

    And when he asks whats for dinner when we get home at the same time and I'm chasing Jo around. 

     

    HT what the HELL are you wearing in that siggy? It's FABULOUS. do you have more?

    Is anyone's H NOT a giant baby when sick?  I try not to stereotype but I think this comes with the penis.

    Mine wants to be left alone in bed to sleep, and not touched.  I ask, "Do you want some medicine?"  He says no.  Then I go get it, with a glass of water, and bring it to him.  He takes it.

    He learned from his dad that this is how manly men act when they're sick.

  • When he steps out of the shower and walks all over the bathroom without drying off first and leaves puddles everywhere for me to step in.

    When he eats anything and just leaves the dish in the sink rather than rinsing and putting it in the dishwasher.

    When I'm on the phone with him and I know he's distracted/reading something else and he tries to pretend that he's listening and comprehending what I'm saying.

    When he won't give me a sensual massage.

     

  • When he's hitting the imaginary brake and commenting on my speed when I'm driving. It wouldn't be so bad if wasn't Mr. Leadfoot.

    When he's up before or after me and talking on the phone and pacing from room to room.

    When he doesn't let me finish a sentence because he just knows what I'm going to say or just interrupts with random shiit. This increases greatly when his mom is around and she is much worse.

    Ex: MIL-So BitchWhoStoleMyLittleBoy, how's work going?

    Me- Good, the kids are rea...

    MIL-Oh, did you know Brenda was back on GH?

    H-Hey, look a bird!

    I'm pretty sure it's pronounced your mom's a moron and if you didn't have your name legally changed by the age of 22, so are you. Unless you're from another continent. -Groomz

    Apparently I do this.  Maybe you should not call people when they're in the middle of reading something important??

    Both of these apply to my husband and drive me nuts.

    He also knows I'm not good with movie quotes, and will give me endless crap when I don't get the obscurest of obscure quotes.

  • My ex did 95% of these things.

    That's all.

    Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
  • When every vacation/weekend away/camping trip turns into a spreadsheet on how we can buy a vacation home there.

    During his constant driving narrative, "I've put the car in sport mode because once, 2 years ago, I had trouble merging onto the freeway at this entrance"

    When he feels the need to verify everything I say with Google.

    When he refuses to acknowledge that I am not ambitious and this is as far in my career as I am going.

    When he utters the phrase "I'm not drunk"

  • When he tells me useless trivia that he has already told me. He is anever ending fount of knowledge about anything regarding ?American presidents, theatre and movies, music, and football. He forgets what he has and has not already regurgitated.

  • When I ask him something that I'm dying to know (like, gossip or something) and he's all, I don't know.  She didn't say anything.

    And then when I don't giveashit about whatever he's talking about and he goes on and on and on and on.

    Yes. He'll say "So and so asked about you today" and I'll ask "Oh, really. What did they say?" and get "Oh I don't remember" as a response. Yet, as mentioned above, he can remember how many passes X quarterback completed in 1972.

  • I don't like him right this second.

    Last night I asked him to remove a pillow from under his head.   I have told him repeatedly that if he uses 2 pillows he snores.   Ever 2 weeks he refuses to believe me and insists on using the second pillow.   Yup, I ende dup in the spare room at 2am last night because of the snoring.

    Then this morning, of course, I am tired and late getting up.   Does he help me with Lila, running around making coffee, throwing things in cupboards/closets in perperation for the cleaning lady today? Eff no!  He's gonna be late for work...hey dipshit, SO AM I!!!!

  • He is a football coach, so during the whole season he doodles plays everywhere and just leaves random pieces of paper laying around.  ALL he can talk about it football. 

    Hunting season, he gets up at 3:30 in the morning comes home at noon, then goes back out at 5:00, every Saturday and Sunday.  And since football season and hunting season run together I don't get to see him for about 6mths out of the year.
