The main thing mine does is, if I'm in like a quiet mood or something or if he thinks I'm mad at him and I'm not he'll keep asking me if I'm mad! Its so annoying. Like, he'll ask me so many times that I actually do start getting mad! Also sometimes he'll do the whole thing where if we're trying to go out to dinner or something, I'll ask him where do you want to go? And he almost always says he doesn't care, so I'll be like how about this place or that place and he'll be like, no I don't want to go there or there, but according to him he doesn't care. lol. Thats a good response to the inbox thing, mamamayhem.

My so likes to leave his dirty clothes on the side of our bed. it appalls me because the hamper is 3 feet to the left. The other thing that gets me is on sundays I work so he watches the kids and he basically trashes the house, then I come home and his excuse for not cleaning up is he was busy with the kids all day. I proceed to adv him if I used that as an excuse what would the house look like after the past 4 years.

Sky, my SO does the same thing about the restaurants! It drives me up the wall!! Always, always, he pretends like he's all laid back and tells me to choose and then shoots down every suggestion I make with reasons like there's too many yuppies there, or he doesnt want to support corporate chain restaurants, or its too fancy and people will stare at him. Ugggh, I'm like you are the pickiest restaurant person ever, you choose and we will avoid this whole conversation! The other thing is that he takes forever to do the dishes and I find it mind boggling. We usually divide up chores by choosing who wants to do what, and he always chooses the dishes and then takes like an hour to do them so I'll have done the vacuuming, the bathroom, the dusting, etc in the time it takes him to do one sink-full of dishes! This thread is funny. The cleaning out the inbox thing is hilarious.

*When I ask if SO will clean up after a meal... (Which isn't often.) He stacks the dishes on the table, or the counter.... and the dishwasher is lietarlly 2 feet away. So I then have to actually clean up. *He also is always really concerned with having clean towels... so unless I have something in the washer, it's full of 'soaking' towels guaranteed.... leading to a lack of clean clothes at times... which is pretty annoying. And he snores... And sometimes he faces me at night and I end up breathing his exhaled air... ew!

My SO snores which can be really annoying. I usually nudge him and he'll stop, but not always. He also is a really picky eater and so we rarely go out to eat somewhere new unless he is only a little hungry. If he's really hungry, he's not willing to go to a new place.

OO how i need to vent here! I love my SO, and hes been really supportive with all my crap...but some days..I swear..... DOSNT DO. ~"Forgets" to make J's lunch, then fails to tell me, and I find out as I am rushing out the door. ~ Put his undies in laundry...i find them on the bathroom floor. ~ Pay speeding tickets. Until I get a letter in the mail, telling me he has lost his license...and then pay them, and the "re-licensing" fee. ~Pay aquired bills. Mastercard, 407 (toll highway), Parking Tickets, you name it...Eventually i snoop through his mail, and panic, as they are all going into collections. FUCK! DOES ~ Wants attention/reads over my shoulder when on computer. I hate that. ~ Continues to get speeding tickets, besides the fact that we pay far too much in insurance, as it is! ~ Winds J into a really, super spazy mood, so its impossible to do ANYTHING with him. ~ Buys fast-food for lunch, when he knows its MUCH CHEAPER to brown bag it. (Apparently a "working man" needs a hot lunch....BS) ~Spends 30 minutes, POOPING. And its always time to poop, right when I have to 1. clean the bathroom, 2. Shower, 3. Get moving, because i have errands and obligations to see too. There are more, I just cant think of them right now...

he snores, and he always expects me to clean up after him.

momtobe, my dad actually does that whenever he watches E and my mom always complains to me about it! Another thing I thought of that my so does is he'll go on and on about something I couldn't care less about (like his xbox 360 or something) and I'll at least pretend to be interested, but if I talk about something he's not interested in he'll want to change the subject. Its so annoying! Ugh!

Yeah, my SO is an Electrician.. and he feels that he needs to explain what he does...all the time...and I really, really dont care!

He always hangs up the phone without saying goodbye.

"He always hangs up the phone without saying goodbye." gaaaaaah. just thinking about that happening annoyed me! aah! lol! this thread is cracking me up. ugh, my so does that same shit about saying he doesn't care where we go but when i pick he's like, "naaaaaah. i don't want to go there." ugh. i hate it!!!!!! and it's EVERYTIME we want to go anywhere!!! and sometimes, he talks really quietly on the phone. it's like, he gets too comfortable lying down or something and puts the phone all far from his mouth. and i don't understand anything he's saying!! and when i ask him what he said, he gets frustrated. and when i pretend like i'm listening, he catches on, (like when he's asking me a question and i'm like. "uh huh. what else happened" lol) he complains about why i'm not "paying attention." ugh. just put the phone to closer to your mouth and speak up!!!!!!!!!

-He tantrums. Seriously. As if it wasn't hard enough with my one year old having a dozen tantrums a day, he comes home and throws tantrums over stupid annoyances. In front of our kid. Like it's gonna help her learn positive ways to deal with frustration to hear her father whine, throw stuff, and flail like she does over next to nothing. -He can't clean up after himself. I SAH, so I don't expect him to split housework, but I do expect him to be able to put his dirty clothes in the hamper and wash his own dishes (which he can't even stop leaving around places) -Smoking. Seriously. He promised me to quit when the baby was born. He quit for five months (several months after T was born) and then started again. Grrr. -his singing. I feel guilty even saying this, but it drives me nuts. He's totally tone deaf. Like, when he listens to music, he looks up the lyrics, and thinks that's the only important part of the song. We've had conversations where he admits to not being able to understand what a melody is. It drives me nuts. And he's convinced that it helps T go to sleep better than anything I do to get her to go to sleep (nevermind that she won't spend anytime alone with him when she's tired) so I have to listen to his god awful singing. -constant picking at me. If I clean the kitchen, I should have been cleaning the living room. I cut using a knife the wrong way. I use too much baking soda to clean the bath tub. Etc... -asking me what I'm thinking all the time. Seriously. If I wanted to tell him, I would. -avoiding taking care of T and then being hurt when she's not overly attached to him. If I give him a choice between taking care of T and doing something else, he'll always choose to do something else. And then he feels so hurt that she likes my parents (who she sees every couple of weeks) better. -his high tolerance of risk: he seriously never worries about money or getting arrested or anything that keeps him from making stupid decisions and I hate being the one who's always stopping him.

-leaving his clothes at the end of the bed! The laundry hamper is like 5 feet to the left! -leaving his dirty dishes and food wrappers where he's sitting. - Saying he can't clean and take care of the kids at the same time. Or if like I went somewhere with a friend, and Aidan starts crying, he'll call me and be like he needs you, he's crying and I don't know how to stop it. Uh how old are our kids and you can't do it? -He gets mad that the house isn't clean, but yet he refuses to help. I'm sorry but I'm sick, pregnant, and taking care of 2 active boys. He can't do it, but expects me to. - He'll ask me to rub his back and says he'll do mine for me. I give him a really good back rub so I'll get one, like for like 20 minutes with lotion and everything. He'll rub mine for like 5 minutes and then say his "hands hurt". Uh I have arthritis in mine but I don't complain. -He wants me to stay home, we both agreed that it was better this way, especially since after daycare costs adn everything, I'd only end up bringing home like 300/month. But when he gets mad he'll yell at me for not working and say its HIS money and I don't do a damn thing! -He'll call me like 10x a day while he's a work and ask me whats up. When I tell him nothing he askes why not. Uhhhh maybe because i'm just sitting at home, and there's really nothing interesting to do. - He zones out on his video games soooo bad that one of the boys will be standing right next to him calling his name and he doesn't hear them. Or they say I'm hungry or something like that and he'll tell them ok just a second, or hold on. It'll take him like 2 hours to actually do it. It drives me nuts! -He'll get like waaaaay too mad over something stupid that they boys do and just totally freak out, but when they do something big, he does nothing. -He buys the boys a toy every time we go to the store, and now Ian throws a fit if I dont get him something when its just us. When I confronted him about it, his solution was to not take them by myself!

OMG!! I had this exact same problem. My ex would spend most of his day pooping! It was so annoying- or like every time he would call me and i would ask what he was doing- he was always pooping. Why not wait to finish pooping before calling? This thread makes me really happy to not have a serious SO! Boys are so dumb.
