I love him, but...

I wish he was still embarassed to fart in front of me.
My room stinks right now.


What's the little unimportant quirk that irks you?
You know, nothing that really matters, just a tiny bit annoying.

neelynicole

He'll put his silverware in the dishwasher, and leave the rest in the sink. And if he actually DOES wash up a dish or pot or something he's used, he disregards the rest of the dishes sitting there.

Although, as much as it irks me at times, it kinda works out for the best since I'm anal about how my dishes are washed lol.

LOL...I feel the pain except my FI was never embarassed to do it in front of me.

flyjawn

he calls me using his bluetooth and i can never hear him.  why does he do it every day when he knows i'm going to tell him that i can't hear?  we go through the same conversation EVERY TIME.

RoxysMama

DH half asses making the bed, I finally told him that I appreciate the effort but he should either make it nicely or leave it unmade.

DH also complains about being hungry but never provides suggestions as to what he might want. I AM NOT A MIND READER!!!

I love him but he drives me up the wall sometimes.

FI has no problem dropping bombs out in public.  He won't fart in front of other people -- he'll go down a desserted aisle.  However, one time he farted in a store and walked away.  Not knowing what he just did, I walked over to where he was and a guy happened to walk by and looked at me as if I was the culprit.  I was pissed and mortified.

i'll tell him something and he'll half listen and then when the time comes to do the said 'something' or i tell him a story and remind him i've mentioned it before, he says i've never said anything about it grrr drives me damn near outta my mind

OMG I had the same experience. I had to laugh -- after gaging

FI mumbles all the time!! My grand-father tells everyone he doesn't speak. They don't know that's what he really means; I guess everyone thinks he is mute LOL. I can't stand talking on the phone, and I think he is largely to blame. Cuz<strong> I can't hear darling I <u>can not</u> hear you!</strong> but i love you LOL

He leaves his dirty socks EVERYWHERE!!!! 

Stuffed between the couch cushions...REALLY?!?!?

I'm so glad my FI isn't the only one who won't wash dishes he didn't dirty,

nanmarie

If my FI goes to bed before me he will wrap himself up in ALL the covers leaving me to pull and push him off of the little bit that i can get between him and the damned dog!!! I wish he would semi-make the bed before conking out just so i dont have to have a tug of war just to sleep! Silly man!

In the winter I notice FI's socks stuffed at the end of the bed when I'm changing the sheets.

<div>Hahahah I had to laugh at this I could totally see my fiance doing this!!</div><div>
</div><div>He goes by the saying "if it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down" and I think it's sooooo gross when I walk in the bathroom and there's piss in the toilet, plus he'll poop in the toilet before a shower and not flush it but then forget to flush it after the shower and I have the pleasure of finding it later.. so gross.</div>

The Knot, come to life? :^)

We have a dog who has a serious eating disorder when it comes to socks, she loves them. FI leaves his socks by the bed. Every. Single. Day. Then complains when the dog runs down the hall with them in her mouth. Um hello buddy!

[Deleted User]

I definitely agree with the farting thing, and some of my husband's are pretty deadly. But the other thing that bugs me is him being disorganized. When he opens his mail, he just lays in on the kitchen table. No, I don't want that there. I ususally file my bills to be paid and he wonders why he can never remember when things are due.

wwnbw

WTH! i may be crazy but i HATE that my FI won't fart in front of me. we have lived together for almost 3 years. i think it is so strange because hello he is a MAN. i tell him i've heard him in his sleep plenty of times LOL but he says it's just a respect thing. i dunno i guess it's a good thing.

mkrupar

I totally agree with the farting thing. FI is terrible. If I say something, he just looks at me and says, "get used to it, this is the rest of your life right here."

He also doesn't put dishes in the dishwasher, and if he does run the dishwasher, he refuses to handwash any of the large items. He'll leave them in the sink. He's against hand washing dishes because he grew up without a dishwasher. He's silly, but I love him.

Posted by mica001[/QUOTE]
Exactly the oposite:
I can not ask his opinion on anything unless I am prepared to follow his suggestion. I'm just looking for your thoughts, not the answer to life's mysteries- /> you don't have them. It's called a conversation!

mayerel

Can I just go with all of the above???

marissa_claire

I love these!  Just made my day

My FI does practically all of the above.  He loves to fart when we're like in the car (or other confined space) and not tell me until it's smelly. 

And he leaves all dirty dishes on the counter when I ask that he put them in the sink (although they could go straight in the dishwasher!)  That drives me nut because then the counter gets dirty and germy instead of the sink, which is much easier to sanitizer.

Leaves clothes all over the house.  He has a TV room which I sometimes will hang out in, but it's mostly his man cave and by the end of the week has tons of clothes piled in there - then gets mad that I don't get laundry done on time and I'm like - hello?  You can't leave them in a pile in the other room, you need to return them to the hamper if you want them clean!

Boys are silly.

alehayes

Kinda the opposite of OP's problem, FI tries to make ME fart in front of him.

It's so mortifying.

megk8oz

He will try to tickle me (Which I hate, hate, HATE being tickled, and he is more than aware of this), and knowing his "prepping moves" for it, I know to brace myself and get ready for dodging when I see it coming ... but occasionally, he'll just be looking for a cute way to get me into a hug. And then he gets all sad and hurt that I was "fighting him off" when all he wanted to do was hug me.

I have no sympathy, I flat out say "If you weren't such a douchebag about tickling me when you know I hate it, this wouldn't be an issue". Seriously. If he didn't ever try tickling me, I wouldn't have reason to think I'm about to be tickled and go into defense mode on him.

He really is a great guy (And otherwise really awesome about not pissing me off, lol), but for some reason since he thinks tickling is fun, if he's got it in his head that if he, like,  does it to me enough times, I'm going to see why he likes it so much. No. It's not fun. It never was fun. It will never be fun. Quit trying to sell me on it.

Miss_Sophia

Ugh, my FI's farts lately have been SOOOO incredibly bad lately. If I were a plant I would shrivel and turn brown! Also, he does wash and rinse off dishes but then doesn't rinse out the sink afterwards. So then I get to the sink and there's food pieces everywhere!

I also agree with the socks. He leaves them on his side of the bed. I left them for a while to see how many would pile up. 5 pairs got to be too ridiculous for me so I finally picked them up. 

Also, I do not like going to the bathroom in the morning to step in pee dribbles on the floor because he can't aim. I wish he would aim....

eshaufle

I love this post!

Let's see...the farting thing for sure except he tries to get away with it and he gives me a look like "did you just hear that?" and then I give him the "oh yes I did" face.  Once he knows he's caught though he makes a really cute embaressed face though that I can't resist :-)

Also, I'm convinced he thinks "kitchen" is a synonym for "dishwasher" or "garbage".  We'll be eating in the living room and if we have dishes I'll say go put it in the dishwasher...they end up sitting on the island.  If we have takeout and I say go put the containers in the garbage...they end up sitting on the island.  I give up.

He also makes up alternative meanings for what I'm saying.  He frequently thinks "can you pick up my dry cleaning while I'm at work?" means "please wait for me to get home and wonder where my dry cleaning is and then you suggest us walking to the cleaners together to get it".  Rargh!

LMAO mine does this too!! Glad to see I'm not the only one who deals with that and he has to be all cute about it too. "But baby I missed you and just want to spend more time with you and this is the perfect way :)" Really?!

Also, my MOH thinks I'm nuts for caring but...I HATE that he leaves his toothbrush on the counter. We keep our toothbrushes in the medicine cabinet but I swear he NEVER puts it back and it drives me NUTS!

younge bride 101

Shane will fart in front of me... on me... he now even likes to just try to not make a noise so i will smell them and be disgusted... He even likes to fart in front of our families!!!! like really? i guess i asked for it when i told him i would love him even if he farted in front of me!!!

neelynicole

Thank gawd FI's got the same perpective as me when it comes to farts. No one needs to know about it, hear it, smell it, nothing. If it HAS to be done, go way far away.

alliek_81

Glad I am not the only on with an immature fiance when it comes to farting. Mine likes to do it in enclosed spaces. Like when we are in the car he'll do it then roll the windows up and then turn the heat on just so he can see me squirm lol. Or he likes to do the "dutch oven" which he will fart while we are in bed then pull the covers over my head! You gotta love him

I literally have the exact same problem.  Even down to the "Why don't you want to hug me?" when I try to dodge him.  Honestly I think sometimes he really is trying to tickle me and when I manage to miss him, he just acts like he was trying to hug me.  I just don't get it - I don't see what part of it is fun in any way!

NillaWafer10

It's good to know that my H isn't the only one farts   I have tried to explain that it's not sexy, but he just doesn't see eye to eye with me.  Ohhh well haha!
