OK ....it just occured to me that this would be a great post for entertainment and stress release!!! My husband, we'll call him NED, gets on my nerves from time to time. I still love him even for his quirks but, there isn't anything wrong with complaining every once in awhile is there? OK...here goes: NED has different priorities than I do. He spends money on old cars and gym memberships. He refuses to eat any carbs past 3 pm which means we don't eat any mashed potatoes with our pot roast and we don't eat any baked ones with our steaks and etc...,
He showers constantly and his nose is too big Laughing , I am terrible but what the hell....if any of you wives out there have a complaint I would love to hear it. I think it will be interesting to see if we have anything in common. Laughing HAPPY POSTING Laughing

Just because he doesn't eat potatoes with HIS dinner that shouldn't prevent YOU from having them!

There are only a few things he does that bug me: He pulls (pets he calls it) his goatee when we are watching TV. That is so annoying!!! And, he loves licorace...trouble is, he chews with his mouth open. He reminds me of a cow chewing it's cud. Ugh!

Oh, and he's a conservative republican (but not a Bush supporter, thank God)! He's a big fan of Bill O'Reilly. His political views drive me up the wall sometimes. Mr. Green

HMMM! Well, I wish he would stop asking me to remember some thing he wants/needs to do. I tell him write it down-that's what I do.

I wish he'd start answering the goddamned phone. GRRRRRR!

He says he answers it all day at work, and he doesn't want to talk to anybody when he gets home, so he just flat doesn't answer it. Period. He can be standing right next to the friggin' thing while it's ringing, and I'll still have to run from halfway across the house to get it. Then as soon as I'm finished, he says, "Who was it?"..."What did they say?" I wanna throttle him!!!

Oh, wait... but it doesn't get on my nerves because he doesn't even realize how almost perfect he is.

Mine too Cinnesthesia. I consider myself a very lucky chick.
BUT...
There are several pieces of furniture that I would like to have built. I've designed them, got the ideas on paper, I just need a carpenter, which my husband is. A very good one. But to get him to build anything is like pulling teeth and yet, suggesting someone else build these pieces will result in a brawl. So, am I supposed to not have these pieces because he won't build them and will be pissed if someone else does? For much less than what I'd pay for anything in a furniture store, no doubt?
Having to go through this with him REALLY gets on my nerves.

I know what you mean, eoe. My husband is Microsoft certified, but can I get him to fix my computer so the fax modem doesn't compete with the answering machine? Huh uh...

Geez, you'd think that we'd get better service, wouldn't you? I mean, we sleep with them and everything!

That's all I'm saying, eva.
Funny tho. My husband, who is a computer whiz as well, was anxious to network our systems. He loooves the computer stuff and will work on that all day long. It's the manual things he drags his ass on. And yet, when he does accomplish a big task, painting a room or something, he's just so proud and then I've got to stroke him and praise him for it. Tell him how wonderful it looks, which it does. Always. So, if it feels so good, why must we go thru the teethpulling each and every time? I DON'T GET IT.

It's infuriating, isn't it, Phoenix?!

And now that I'm having trouble hearing, I have to rely on him to decipher answering machine messages because I can't understand them. Hmph. Is it asking too much to want to know if I'm supposed to call back? Or when? Or at what number? Or what the call was about? I mean, "John (?) or Gene (?) Harris called" IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

My husband is actually very, very good about this. We've all learned to put the seat(s) down when we're finished so the cats won't drink out of them. He even does it at other people's houses. <smug smile>
