  • That he would prioritize better (i.e. finish things he starts, or do things he says he is going to do).

  • how he puts things off till the last minute and doesn't put things away

  • He is a huge procrastinator in his personal life.. I hate it!

  • When he works a long day, he thinks he's the only person who has ever worked a long day in the history of the world.  I usually give him very little sympathy and move on.

  • His spending habits. He spends money like it grows on trees.

  • He has a habit of settling.  He feels he is responsible for everything and he needs to make sure everyone is happy, even if he isn't.  And he usually accomplishes this by settling for less than he is worth (his career is a prime example).  I wish he could see himself through my eyes and know that he is worth more than he gives himself credit for.


    That and he is really closed off with his emotions.  He really hates discussing things when they bother him.  I wish he would just tell me sometimes instead of thinking I am a mind reader. (case in point: with wedding planning, something would really stress him out, but instead of telling me so I could do something about it, he would keep it to himself and then bring it up a month later when it was too late to do anything about it)

  • I would say I could change H's procrastination. It really bugs me,especially, when he says he will help out around the apartment and he doesn't. Sometimes he is really good, and awesome about it, other times...not so much. 
  • I wish he could control his moods better. If something throws him off in the morning, it will literally ruin his entire day.

    This. And, he feels the need to tell me every time he does a chore too. Its like hooray for you.

  • I would have him take more initiative on cleaning and home improvement, and also have follow through to finish what he starts!
  • It drives me crazy when he plays on his computer/phone/ipad while I'm trying to talk to him.

  • It drives me insane when he starts something, does it for 10 minutes, then takes a break.  He'll say "oh I cleaned for 3 hours today I'm so exhausted" but he did something that would have taken me 45 minutes!  If you just plow through, it will take you less time!

     I also hate it that he doesn't ever ask questions - both of other people, and of himself.  He'll feel a certain way about something, for example not liking a house we looked at, but he can't explain his feelings and it's like he refuses to think past "I don't like it".  Also whenever something happens in his family or friends' lives, he never gets any details!  He knows I'm going to ask!

  • H is literally the sorest loser I know. I am competitive and I don't like to lose, but H takes it to a whole new level. He pouts when he loses any sort of competition. Even something as insignificant as a card game with family.

  • I wish he would help out around the house more (Cooking, cleaning, repairs) and not have to be asked, usually multiple times. I just want him to know it needs done and for him to do it!!!

  • At times he can exaggerate. I call it the "dad's best friend syndrome". That was the first time I ever learned of this habit of his. He once said "Oh yeah my dad is SUCH good friends with this guy." Actually your dad met him a couple times, they aren't even 'friends'.

    Ditto this. He has gotten better, but he still scares me sometimes. Thankfully he asks me before doing most things but then I feel like a dream-crusher when I suggest we wait.

    It's really annoying right now because our birthdays are next month and he keeps saying he's going to go get something I have in mind for his gift!! :-p

  • He is messy. I appreciate that he cooks but he makes SUCH a huge mess. I appreciate that he helps with laundry but he procrastinates on putting away his laundry. When he has a snack and is finished with the bowl or wrapper, he just leaves them (instead of picking it up and putting it away when he gets up to do something else). Perhaps I am anal about neatness and cleanliness, but he is the opposite.

    (P.S. Glad I finally found you guys... I didn't know how to get over here from TK!)
