Ok...we've ragged on the men. Now lets step up. What do you do that drives DH crazy??

For me?

He hates that I fall asleep on the couch sitting up. We'll be watching a TV show and I'm just OUT. Now...I do get up at 5 am during the week, so by 9 pm, my body has had it. Doesn't matter if it's my favorite show or if he has "plans" for us later..... LOL

It drives my DH crazy that I expect him to be a mind-reader. I'm getting better though at verbalizing what I need from him.

I am a rule follower. It drives him batty! I don't follow ALL rules but generally, I do because in my experience, every time I don't, I get busted. Example: we can only take 2 guests into our community pool (rule). About 80% of the people DO NOT follow this rule but I do. I have had family visiting (family of 4) and said, "well, we can take 2 of you at a time to the pool". I feel like I have to set the right example for my kids...and yes, I know I am weird

It bothers him that I am overly sarcastic and sometines overly opinionated when we are in public. For instance last week we were on the subway and this woman kept staring at us and making comments to her friend that we were wet (umm hello it was raining ) so I looked at him said real loudly "Oh My you are all wet did you pee yourself again I told you to wear depends LOL He keeps saying there is a time and place to be sarcastic, but not all the time.

Well... not sure if it drives my DH batty or not but it DOES drive myself batty; PMS. At that time of the month, I'm so emotional and OCD. I get things done though!

Luckily, DH knows that it will pass and seems to have that attitude about it. For the rest of the month, I'm pretty even tempered. I guess it makes up for the one day of the month when I'm NUTS.

sounds like something *I* would do

Oh that is so me also!!! My worst trait is that I like to "discuss" things at the top of my lungs. My SO is a very quiet guy and I am so not. But we accept the other as is.

I can ignore any mess, any child screaming etc if I want. He can't. That is how I get my down time...but he thinks that me tuning these things out (and I am not speaking long term here...) is bad. I think it makes me sane and the kids more independant.

Well... Hubby & I are going to marriage therapy so this "list" he made was just brought out last week during our session.

#1 during fights, when he starts critizing me I bring up his past mistakes

#2 I am not consistant.. an example is @ 8 pm the kids are to have had a bath & go up to there rooms to read till 8:30, then lights out.. well i don't always follow that & it drives him crazy.

#3 I clean houses for 1 of my part time jobs, he gets mad if I worked all day at someones house & OUR house is not cleaned...he just can't understand why I couldn't bust my butt getting it all done..he's SOL on this one.

# 4 says I spent too much $$ on myself..... let's see the only $ I spend on myself is every 2 months I pay $12 to get my eyebrows waxed....but he can spend $15 a month on a computer game, not to mention the $200 a month he spends of his smokes.

#5 he can't stand when I hang things on "MY" rear view mirror, i.e. a yankee candle air freshner, or small necklace..nothing huge that constructs my view.

I'm sure there's more these are just what stuck out in my mind.

I think we are past the makes him crazy stage, now he just accepts that certain things aren't going to change.

~When paging through a newspaper or magazine, I do it back to front.

~I assign little noises to things-this got me shushed out of the one and only time I went to bingo. I guess the grey hairs didn't appreciate the splashdown noise when the dabber hit the paper.

~I am a Klutz with a capital K. The phrase "That's why we can't have nice things" is used often.

~I snore like a freight train. And the fact that I am one of those people that can fall asleep in less than a minute doesn't help.

I think I'll stop now while I still have some self esteem.

It bothers him that I leave my shoes all over the place. He bought me 5 shoe racks a couple weeks ago to "encourage" me to put my shoes away.

I am anal about some things in the house
When I am at home and doing housework I leave the kitchen, bedroom and living room tvs all turned on to Dr Phil or Judge Mathis or whatever I am watching
All the drawers, closets and shelves are over organized (according to him)
I have wayyyyy too many purses, shoes and coats
My mood and hormones dictate the mood of the house
It takes me forever to get ready to go somewhere and if I don't like the way I look there is going to be trouble
He sometimes get embarrassed when we go out to eat and I ask millions of questions about how the food is prepared and what's in it

I feed strays, it makes him nuts, maybe because there deer, racoons,foxes, and just recently I found a cougar on the porch, I'am not sure if it's the animals or the hay in the yard, and just recently we road together which we haven't done in awhile, apparently fixing my makeup driving or at a stop light makes him nuts.

I keep little projects in different places around the house. They look fine to me, I don't mind seeing them, but they make him crazy.

I am much more bothered by not cleaning up after eating, shaving, etc. I don't like dirty messes. Project "messes" don't bother me, therefore, they don't register on my clean-it-up scale.

I would have to say my moods drive my dh crazy. I am a very moody person, and I also tend to raise my voice a little more than I should. Probably my love for animals drives him nuts also. I keep telling him that it could be worse....at least I bring cats, dogs and birds home. My sister in law is a horse lover. We just get a taste of what that involves when we help put 800 bails of hay into the loft. Usually on the hotest day of the summer....

I dont think he has ever told me what drives him crazy......lol
Maybe its a deep secret!

I tend to rush around at the last minute before leaving the house. That drives DH nuts. I procrastinate until it's time to go, then run around so I'm not late!

the few are i keep wanting to leave to be early and he dislikes it, I like to leave 20 minutes before we should just because. The shoes all over the house I leave mine so thje kids naturally leave theres also, then also my clothing I have a two story and I don't like going up the stairs when the door bell rings to put something on so I leave it in the desk drawer. Boy does that get to him...

Apparently my DH doesn't like the fact that I have feet.

Let me explainl, he seems to think that I have a shoe problem and the I need to quit purchasing so many shoes. I can't help it if they are on clearance and under $10.00. I NEED them. I also have a small bit of a problem with cake plates/stands. They are the two things that I collect and he cannot stand that.


Of course it is quite all right for him to spend $40.00/month on nicotine gum and $40.00/month on beer, which cannot be used again and again like my lovely peep toe pumps and gorgeous cake stands.

I asked him this morning...he said:

1. When he's asleep and I come to bed and start talking to him...Or I wake up in the middle of the night and start yapping away...

2. When I pick my feet...yes, I know it's gross...There was a thread on it awhile back...I just hate rough skin on my feet...I do use the proper tools, but sometimes when I'm just sitting there watching TV, I may start doing it...sorry...

3. When I go into a store to go shopping, he says that I go into a "trance"...Regardless of who is waiting for me etc...I just go into another world...

At that point I told him to stop...enough was enough...I'm sure there are more, but he said that there really wasn't... ~Lisa

The Shirt. I have an old football practice shirt that I cannot throw out. I have it now for 24 years. It has holes, paint stains, rips etc. It is also my favorite most comfortable piece of clothing I own. When I have had a bad day at work, that is the thing I throw on after work. He absolutely hates it. It is a greyish white color and matches everything! He said yesterday that he will have me buried in it. I don't know for sure if that was a hint.
I also 'backseat" drive. I mean is there really a reason that you have to follow the car ahead of you so close that you can smell their butt crack? I don't think so and I let him know. Driving 10 mph above the speed limit while you 16 year old daughter who just go her license is in the car is stupid. I let him know that too. Turning your honda into a snowmobile by going 80 mph in a snowstorm is not fun, I of course told him that too. Some people say twin beds saved their marriage. I say seperate cars in the answer.

After being with mine for 38 years I would have to say everything. Ask me what drives me crazy about him and I guess it would be the same except he is a new grandpie and he`s good at it.
