Random poll...what's the one thing you would change about your husband?
AND what's the one thing you think he'd change about you?
Re: Random poll...what's the one thing you would change about your husband?
I would love for my hubby to eat veggies...would make my life easier with regard to cooking healthy for our family.
I think if he had his way I would be a curly red head. I dye my hair red and wear it curly as often as I can... yes, I love him that much.
Me changing him: I would make him healthy in every way. He's dealing with a lot right now. He really got the short end of the genetics-stick.
Him changing me: I think he'd make me less forgetful and absentminded.
Me changing him: There are two. 1. That he would like to travel more. 2. That he would shave more often.
Him changing me: I am sure he would like me to be a neat freak.
Me changing him- I'd like him to be more self motivated and procrastinate less.
Him changing me- He'd like me to be more spontaneous and not wound so tightly.
Me changing him: I wish he wasnt such a pushover.
Him changing me: He wishes I wasnt anti-social.
Me changing him: More spontaneous and less of a neat freak...
Him changing me: more of a neat freak, less picky eater, and more athletic.
I would LOVE if he was more open to eating veggies and more fish. It makes meal planning very difficult (and DD is taking after him).
About me, probably that I was less OCD about the clutter in the house.

I found my eating twin! Maybe we should swap for a dinner date. You can go to dinner at a fish place with my DH and your husband and I can go for steak and bread!
i would make him not like coffee so he'd never have coffee breath!
he'd probably make me neater/less cluttery.

I would change: That he would like to do more active, outside stuff like hike, bike, kayak, etc so we could do them together.
He would change: My need to have everything, at all times, planned down to the very last second. It's often helpful but it is impossible for me to just do "nothing". I don't schedule time for that.
I'd make him more frugal, he's not a big-spender or anything, by anyone else's standards he probably would be considered frugal. I just inherited my dad's neurotic approach to savings.
He'd give anything to change my health/allergen issues or make my back healthy again.
I would take away his anxiety issues. I feel for him, but get tired of the social anxiety and lack of interest in doing anything outside of his comfort zone (from travel to trying new restaurants).
He would make me loosen up, be less type-A about everything!
The face of Kitty-Hate
I would like for him to be a little less prejudiced towards certain people and more open minded. Though it's not so bad considering he grew up in east Texas and his parents are much worse.
He would like for me to be a total neat freak and not have such a hair trigger temper sometimes.

Change about him- that he would procrastinate less and be more organized
He would want me to relax more and not be stressed about every little thing!
This exactly
Change about him: definitely activity level, in general.
Change about me: He says I suck at communicating, especially when I'm upset or angry.
For him, I'd change his anti-socialness. It is like pulling teeth to get him to go out on a date with me or to a party - he'd rather send Ian to one of the grandma's houses and sit at home.
He thinks I'm a party girl and overspender (which actually he spends more than I do on frivolous items) so those are the things he'd change.
I wish he had a healthier lifestyle, i.e. liked to exercise and eat more veggies.
He'd like my issues with my foot and nerves to go away and be back to the way they were at 19, and that I was not so hard on myself.
what i would change about him: I wish he'd quit his corporate job and teach at a university like he's always wanted to do.
what he would change about me: anything involving me behind the wheel of a car (driving style, road rage, etc, etc)
i would like for him to be more outgoing and less passive.
i think he would like for me to be a little less of a neat freak.
About Him: I wish he was a bit more self-sufficient. Sometimes I feel like I have 3 kids.
About Me: He would clean up my potty mouth...probably reduce my anxiety and calm me the heck down.
about him: his negativity... he tends to dwell on the negative and it drives me bonkers
about me: he'd like me to be neater/more organized and i think he'd like me to be less "always look at the bright side of things" (see what i'd change about him, ha)
Him: That he would not have such a hard time "catching on" when learning how to dance salsa/merengue. He is an AWESOME drummer and has great rythm when playing the drums, but can't dance worth a darn. This is important to me because I have been dancing salsa/merengue my whole life (being Colombian) and I would love us to be "that couple" that looks great dancing salsa together. Oh yeah and if he would pick up his socks (he leaves them EVERYWHERE!)
Me: Control my OCD... I go into FREAKOUT mode when cleaning and dh knows to get outta my way! (I think it freaks him out too)
The amount of beer/tobacco he consumes.
The amount of putting out that I do.

I'm sure we each have a list of things that we'd like to change about one another.
I wish he was more a go-getter; not so lazy and procrastinating.
As for me, I'm sure he wishes I wasn't so frustrated with him so often.
This - for me changing DH. And just more open minded in general and less high strung - he's always in a rush and little things set him off. I wish he'd slow down and experience just being content occasionally. "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" was meant for him
For me- He'd like me to be able to say "no" more easily and be less empathetic, and change my religious views lol.
Him- that he could be better about staying in touch with his friends, rather than me being his social secretary.
Me- that I was more organized and a better cleaner. I don't think he would actually say he wants me to be these things, but I know he would like our house to be more organized and that would inevitably fall on me.
Me changing him: Make him able to manage his time better to get multiple things done during the day.
Him changing me: He wants me to grow my hair out (ain't happening in this lifetime!)
I wish my husband was more romantic and spontaneous. He's done a few romantic things over the many, many years we've been together and they were big... but very rare!
He would change my negative body image issues first, and then of course increase my sex drive. After that, he'd work on making me less high strung!
