Friday Five
What are 5 things that you love about your DH, and 5 little things he does that annoy you? (Come on ladies, I know we're newlyweds, but we all have something)
Re: Friday Five
Love:
1. He tells me he loves me multiple times a day
2. He does the laundry, dishes, and helps me around the house without being asked.
3. He fills my car up with gas if he sees that I'm low, just because.
4. He always waits up for me on the nights I don't get home until late-always.
5. He saves all the cards that I give him-I just think that's sweet.
Annoy me:
1. He leaves clothes in the bathroom
2. He is somewhat bad at communicating-but I think on some level that's all men.
3. He sometimes tells people "Oh yeah, just stop on by whenever". I hate that. No, I don't want people to just drop by when they feel like it. Thank you.
4. He can't ever say no to other people. So annoying.
5. he leaves dishes all over the place-cups, bowls, etc. It's like the man momentarily forgets where the kitchen is once he uses something.
Love:
1. He lets me be goofy and is goofy right along with me most days
2. He cuddles me every single night if he is not going to bed at the same time as me
3.He almost always goes to the store with me even though its one of his least favorite things but he knows I hate to go alone so he goes with me
4.We give air kisses all the time
5. He just goes along with some of my really weird anxiety things that would annoy most people
Annoy
1. His sleep schedule, he sleeps till like 10 almost everyday and sometimes even much later and gets pissy if I try to get him up at say 9am
2.He doesnt like much variety in his food so theres many restaurants we cant go to because they dont have anything he likes
3. He likes things more tidy than I do which just isnt the norm so it sometimes makes me feel like a slob because I just dont care
I know you said 5 but I just married him a week ago and I am still on my honeymoon so 3 is all I can come up with right now.
And I LOVE that you ordered him pizza for the wedding because he's picky.
Love:
1. How goofy he can be
2. He went out inthe hail storm and put thick blankets on my car so it wouldn't get hail damage
3. He gets me water every single night, even if I get home late its waiting for me on the night stand
4.He helps me around the house without much asking
5. He's always up to try new things
Hate:
1. he can't seem to find the laundry basket
2. he drives too fast
3. sometimes when we go to dinner, he starts calling EVERYONE and trys to invite them. Can't we just have dinner together?
4.He can sleep with the covers all messed up. I hate that, I will straighten everything out if I was unable to make the bed that day
5.He likes to come home from soccer all sweaty and hug on me... eww!
Oh fun:
Love:
1. He is the kindest man I have ever met
2. I have no celebrity crushes, because he is the hottest man I have ever seen
3. He never gets angry and raises his voice
4. He never has anything negative to say about anyone
5. He is so good with our daugter, even though he has only brothers and when we found out we were having a little girl, he was scared to death because he had never been around little girls
Annoy
1. He never helps clean the house, my favorite is when we are having people over and we are cleaning, and he has to go pick up drinks for the party, and when he comes back I have already cleaned everything and he is like oh..I was going to help (ya right)
2. He doesn't like to try new things
3. He never wears anything but jeans and t-shirts
4. He is such a deep sleeper that even when he says, "Oh, I will get up if the baby wakes up, you sleep in" it takes him so long to wake up, that I am wide awake by the time he is finally up
5. and the most annoying thing....his mother....ya, I did not win the MIL lottery
We have been married 3 years this August, but even with his annoying things, I still love him so much!
My DH went and moved my car under a car port last night when it started hailing because I was sleeping already. And the calling people at dinner-totally DH! And the laundry basket. Yep!
It drives me crazy!
He'll do this if we have alreadys invited a couple of friends over AFTER I've already been to the grocry store. No joke, he'll call no less than 15 ppl. It drives me up the wall. I have to tell him to stop because I'm not going back to the store!
He's much more social than me, so I guess we balance each other out. He told me before we met he would fill up his social calendar so full that he had stuff to do every night of the week and only really went home to sleep. crazy!
Ours is 8/2 - we got married in 2008, and DH wanted to get married 8/8/08 so he would never forget our anniversary, I was like well, you better never forget our anniversary or you are in trouble buddy!
So annoying. Plus, sometimes I just want some QT with DH. He thinks QT with me is anytime we are together, we don't have to be alone. *eye roll*
Some of my love and annoy will be the same! I have learned that there are some double edged swords with DH.
Love:
-He is very easy going.
-He loves my family like his own.
-He never nags about money I spend.
-He cooks.
-He isn't very needy.
Annoy:
-He is very easy going!
-Oh the TV...it is so loud.
-He has to reminded/told to help with indoor chores; cleaning, getting laundry out of the dryer (after 4 days!), starting the dishwasher.
-He listens, but doesn't really retain dates/plans/stories.
-He isn't very needy; sometimes I like to feel needed.
Yes mine too! Maybe they are secretly brothers and we just haven't met!
Summer- I LOVE air kisses, we did them like 5 times throughout the ceremony. I actually feel bad because I wasnt really listening to what was being said.
Sara- Matt is very easy going too which I love most of the time because I am not very easy going so its a good balance. Sometimes though its annoying because I dont see the drive or ambition, I know its there but he just doesnt show it.
@Bobbieliegh- I agree. I know it is there, but I would like to see him get fired up about something every once in a while.
@Summer- He had taken my complaints to heart and started lowering the volume after I went to the bedroom at night. Then my sister and her family moved in. Now he thinks all bets are off. I actually walked back into the living room the other night and asked if he had lost his mind. I will never understand why it has to be so loud.
Love:
1 - Our stupid nicknames for each other.
2 - How incredibly goofy he is sometimes, like talking to the dog in a stage whisper about me.
3 - How he lets me do whatever I want (within reason) as long as it makes me happy.
4 - How excited he is about this baby thing, it's been his #1 topic for days.
5 - How supportive he is of my interests and goals.
Annoy:
1 - Never cleans, like ever.
2 - Answering the phone all the time, like even last night in bed at 11:30. I know it is work, but come on.
3 - Never puts toilet paper on the roll if he is the last one to use the old roll.
4 - Hates admitting he is wrong, even when he obviously is.
5 - He cancels my recordings on the DVR if he is watching TV and has nothing recorded to watch.
Love:
1. How considerate he always is towards me.
2. How he acts like he doesn't like my cat, but I secretly catch him petting her and he feeds her every morning.
3. He does all the laundry and dry cleaning.
4. He always wants to make he happy and smile. He is very easy going
5. He is the best man I could have every dreamed of marrying.
Dislikes:
1. He is so messy
2. He gets water all over the bathroom sink and floor! He manages to get water all over even if he just brushes his teeth.
3. Never puts the ironing board away...it stays in our bedroom like another piece of furniture
4. Listens to the TV too loud. I always tease him that I'm going to buy him a Miracle ear.
5. He loads knifes in the dishwasher with the blade pointing up!
Love's:
1. He is a very caring and loving person... to me, his family, and mine too. He would do anything for any of us.
2. He surprises me with things. Dates, dinner at home, sweet notes, flowers, etc.
3. He works mostly at home so he does laundry. Pretty much all of it.
4. He is very giving. We give to several great organizations every month. This is not something I did regularly before I met him.
5. He is very protective. He gets mad at me when I don't take my pepper spray with me. Haha.
Dislikes:
1. He uses a new coffee cup for every refill. Similar behavior for plates... and towels.
2. Despite the fact that we have an office now, his work stuff is sprayed out all across my living room.
3. He scatters his wallet, keys, ring, hat, and other random items across the kitchen bar and kitchen table.
4. When he asks me to do something (not important stuff) I have to drop everything and do it right that second for him to be satisfied. When I ask him to do something it can wait.
5. He has terrible taste in TV and wants me to watch it with him. I don't have any interest in Ninja Warrior, 100 Ways to Die, Man vs Wild, weird cartoons, or forever long documentaries about the mob.
Love:
1. He is very laid back and goes with the flow.
2. He puts up with all my weird anxiety, too.
3. He is so, so considerate and nice - a very sweet person.
4. He doesn't yell and if we are arguing, he really does try to see my point of view. And if I'm mad at him and he doesn't understand the reason, he will say he doesn't understand why I'm mad, but that he is sorry I am so upset.
5. He likes to cuddle and you can really tell he is in love with me.
Annoying:
1. He always leaves his suit jackets downstairs draped over whatever furniture is available.
2. He is in charge of all the trash collecting, etc. (throughout the house) - and I usually end up doing most of it for him.
3. When he shaves, sometimes he leaves his little face hair in the sink - it's so annoying.
4. You can't really give him subtle hints - you have to practically draw a picture.
5. I can't think of a fifth one...
Love
1. How wonderful he is with my family. It has been a Godsend multiple times since we got married.
2. He lets me buy purses and will buy them for me some too.
3. He defended our cats when his dad pushed Socks off the couch.
4. He gets me water every night before bed.
5. He texts me most days when he arrives at work. I don't need to know but he does it anyways.
Dislikes
1. He will put plastic cups and cutlery in the sink. To be washed.
2. He will let some chores go for forever. Current one: one of the smoke detectors is slightly on the fritz and beeps every 15 seconds. It's annoying.
3. He won't always stand up to his parents. Shanda, I didn't win the IL lottery either. (But he did).
4. He can be overly judgmental when it comes to social issues.
5. He uses big words when they are completely unnecessary.
He would kill, kill, kill me for telling you this, but my DH does too. He calls it water for my "froat" because that is what my neice called it when she was younger.
LOVES:
1. He completely accepts the fact that I don't cook.
2. He loves our animals so much, I can only imagine what a great dad he will be one day.
3. He's not possessive or jealous and let's me go do my own thing whenever I want to.
4. He lets me stick my cold feet on him when we are just snuggling on the couch. (I don't even have to say anything...he just lifts his leg so I can stick my feet under it.)
5. When he transfers money to my account at the end of the month when I'm running out in the "note" section where you put what the transfer is for he will put little sweet things like "I love you" or "I miss you" in that box so it shows up on my account. It's silly I know, but it's really sweet to me.
HATES:
1. I can literally tell where he went in the house from the minute he walked in by the trail of clothes, keys, phone, etc. They are all over the place!
2. He buys things on impulse without thinking about things.
3. When we are around people and they ask if we would want to go do something, he turns right to me and wants an answer in front of them instead of just saying "let me see what we have going on" and putting me on the spot.
4. He's a happy morning person and can't stay up past 10:00 p.m. most days.
5. He's never "mushy" sweet. He thinks buying me something expensive shows me he loves me. NOT TRUE!
Haha, mine does that too! If his friends call/text him he tells them he has to "ask me" .... he knows good and well he doesn't have to "ask me" for permission.
So if he doesn't want to, then I look like the bad guy. ::face palm::
Love:
1. He helps around the house.
2. He keeps me laughing all the time.
3. He is great with money and finances.
4. He is very slow to get angry. I mean, it takes ALOT.
5. He is kind, gentle, loving, and sweet. And not just to me, but to everyone.
Hate:
1. He is anal. Like soooo anal. I've never seen anything like it.
2. He is a worrier. Like he will worry about something that is months or even years away.
3. He's a little bit too hard on Melodie. It's the only thing we ever argue about. To hear him talk she will never move out, drive, hold a job and her house will always be a wreck.
4. He lets his parents influence him too much. I don't say anything usually but it drives me nuts sometimes.
5. He calls me too much at work. He's getting better though.
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
@Tiffany,
I pretty much sound like your husband, if Matt had to type this about me it would be very similar except the office part almost everything thing else is stuff I do that annoys Matt.
