What drives you mad about your partner

[degsy]

When I'm Driving 1;
Me; Where is it?
Herself; I'll tell you when we're there.
Soon...Over there, over there * points (waves arm in a could be drying nail varnish way) in no obvious specific direction and not an 'on the Left,' or 'on the Right' to be heard.
Driving 2;
You're a few yards away from the junction...Turn here ( I gather its left) like a Kia is TRON in an electronic game and can do instant 90degree turns.
Driving 3;
The SatNav is on and Without 'kin fail she will start to talk at exactly the same time the SatNav. is telling me which way to go - Every Time.

When I load the dishwasher, and she rearranges it -but she does have a point as I'm useless at it.

*puts up hand to that myself...but I've grown wise enough not to tell her.

Nature abhors a vacuum so they say.
Women can't 'listen' to a Silence and not try to fill it.

I feel your pain buddy. I've experienced it firsthand, the compete inability to use numbers or directions when giving navigation assistance - roundabouts are the worst.

"Which exit do we need to take Mrs. Tree?" (foolishly expecting a reply involving the words "first", "second" or "third")
"That one." (randomly flaps an arm behind herself, despite the roundabout being ahead of us).

Were it not for the fantastic breasticles making it physically impossible, I'd bang her head against the dashboard.

Thanks for wanting our input JWL. We definitely need more woman voicing their views on this thread because men partners are far from perfect. @Tin-Tin @anjelikaferrett @Vegas Toffee Girl @Val P @Gwladysover @Twinkletoes123 do you ladies have any input lol

Like LL, My husband and I have been married for a long time and while I have come to accept some of his imperfections there still a few things that drive me mad about him. He can't never seem to find things, even when they are right there in front of his face, drives me nuts. He also forgets about doing the recycle and when I remind him about doing so he then gets touchy because he feel I shouldn't have to remind him what to do.

”Do you know where x is?” comes the cry from upstairs when you are in the midst of something in the kitchen.

”Yes it is on the left of the 2nd shelf in the closet” you reply

“Can’t see it” comes floating back a couple of minutes later so you traipse upstairs - only to find that because it is merely left central on the 2nd shelf rather than fully left it has been rendered invisible to male eyes lol

Mrs "Can you bring us the hair brush down out of our room"
I go in and see there is 10 different types scattered on different shelves, so obviously i pick up the easiest and closest one, trots down the stairs "E R love"
Mrs "Not that one" then gets in a huff and goes up stairs herself while muttering "i dont know why i bother asking you" at this point she stomping her feet on every stair she goes up.

Me "If you wanted the black brush then ask for the 'kin black brush"

My speciality is that I often forget the exact word for what it is I want so it is “can you bring me the thingy please” with a lot of hand waving whilst my mind trys to retrieve the proper word. He knows me so well he’ll usually be able to guess what it is but if he is a whimsical mood I’ll get some funny retorts lol

Yeah what is that? i often finish my Mrs sentences! Is it because there's that much going on inside your heads its like a junk draw in the kitchen and you actually don't know what you want out of it when you open it?

Oh how did I forget "choosing a film"?

We have Netflix, amazon (spit), Disney plus all the regular catchup channels because the 400+ library of dvds I'd built up before I knew her (no not that sort) isn't right. We can spend an evening with her spinning at light speed through film title after film title.

Her random rules: - there's never a reason given
Nothing military/war
Nothing with subtitles
Nothing with actor "x" (X will be around 50 different people)
Nothing too sad
Nothing slapstick
Nothing perceived to be a top film (probably seen it)
Nothing black and white.

Anything costume drama
Anything "tedious, moody, predictable, bbc, murder drama involving a very bad man and super smart woman detective"

Then I spot one - "how about this honey?"
Nine times out of ten: "Haven't we seen that recently?"
Me - either:
"I've never seen it" or
"We saw it dating" (about 12 years ago)

"Yeah - too recent"
Scrolls on.

However....
Her - "Ooh pride and prejudice "
Me - "You literally watched that last month"
Her - "OK be like that - you choose something then"
(Refer to list of rules for 'my' choice)

I suggest something that somehow satisfies all the rules I've come to learn ....

And by this time, often the whammy rule is invoked ....
"Oh thats too long. I'll be asleep by then. I'm going to hed"

Ffs!

Removes the bath mat from the bathroom floor and replaces it with a hand towel to stand on once out of the shower.
Reason, doesn't want to get the mat wet!

Think that means she's bored mate

How could she be bored of 9 inches of pure Scouse meat...

Honestly don’t know how my Mrs has put up with me for so long, so I can’t complain.

That's how they get you. You f up so many times and you make promises and stuff and you end up in a box with your testicles removed.

A decent pair is a thing of magnificence and not to be under-rated...I bet she knows left and right when it comes to them though

Christmas. Having to see every relative on her side that won't get spoken to for another 12 months does my head in.

Yeah cause my family is dysfunctional at best its Christmas at hers with her perfect family. Kills me inside. Every year.
