What drives you mad about your partner

I swear I want today to end already ...... her new summerhouse is getting delivered today .... every 10 bloody minutes she’s telling me where it is now off the tracking she’s following.... I feel like building it today and moving into it ffs

The worse is yet to come mate.

Once it`s built, it`ll have to be " fluffed ".

Flowery curtains for the windows, the door will be painted a nice pastel shade, if not the whole thing. It`ll be full of cushions from the excess cushion mountain in the house. There`ll be several trips to Ikea for the inevitable soft furnishings that will be needed and you`ll be paying for the whole lot lol

It’s actually pi55ed me off.... she will use it as her craft shed .... don’t get me wrong she’s really talented and needs the space to work in but a normal shed would have cost so much less.

My mate`s missus did something similar. he bought a massive Summer house for his two girls last year and it now looks like some kind of glamping pod inside, c/o of his missus.

The kids aren`t allowed to use is, as it`s " too nice to ruin ", so it just sits there in the middle of his garden like an used shrine lol
 
Another gem from my nearest and dearest.
When either me or the two lads go into the kitchen heading for the fridge, "just cos there's food in there, doesn't mean it's got to be eaten"
 
”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
My missus is a bit different. Communication isn't her forte.

In the midst of the perma-debris of her mail order shopping habit, anything practical that I use several times on a daily basis is randomly put away out of sight as soon as she looks at it. This inevitably results in exchanges such as

"honey where is 'x'?"
"I've put it in the cupboard"

We have probably 50 cupboards around the house, but at least that narrows it down I guess - eliminating shelves from the enquiry.

Reminds me of the time she spotted a rare bird
"Ooooo look at that!"
"Where?"
"On that branch" (not even pointing)

That branch. We have 8 full grown trees in the back garden, then hedgerow and woods in the near distance. That branch.

Yet its men that don't communicate. :coffee:

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.
Since retirement Mr G has taken it upon himself to wash the kitchen floor, clean the bathroom and hoover, though I appreciate the help and he’s far more thorough than I am, it takes ages and I kind of resent the implication that I don’t do the job properly. I wouldn’t swap him though - after 44 years of marriage I couldn’t face the thought of having to “break” in a new model.

My Mrs always tells everyone it took her 20 years to get me house trained (not in the peeing on the floor way....although now I think about it......). So she has had it easy for the second 20.

As long as I can recall the proper words (a big proviso!) I’m pretty good at the communication, in fact wrt the driving apparently I overdo it lol
Me - “take the 3rd road on the left, then the 2nd exit at the roundabout and keep right at the fork....”
Him - “slow down ffs, I can’t remember all that, just give me one direction at a time”
