Yes, you are crazy...lol.
(ok, not really crazy)

But you should know, once he farts in front of you, there's no going back to the way it was before!
I wouldn't want to loose how much our reltionship has grown, but I miss the days of our relationship where he would leave the room to fart.  Now he just does it in front of the fan that pushes it at me, and giggles.

The reason why my fiance started farting in the ferst place is bc my parents told him "when you fart in front of her thats when you know you love her" so he farts... i say something then he says but I LOVE YOU!!!! hahaha thanks babe but im pretty sure there are other ways to explain it!

He doesn't fold laundry correctly. Towels should go short ends folded together first (making a thing rectangle) and then the ends folded together, so hat they can easily go onto the rack. He does it completely backwards and I always have to fix them. He does shirts wrong, too. I think he does it on purpose so I'll just do it.

I know, I'm kind of particular about laundry folding...

Guess I'm pretty lucky; he doesn't do much that annoys me.  Most of it is mild frustration.  I have to remind him of things constantly, and he gets REALLY skitish if he thinks he did something wrong, even when he wasn't.

I know WHY he does it (thank you oh so much FMIL, you lack of mothering skills is beyond glaring), and it's just taking time to undo the damage.

I kind of cracks me up when he does this but mostly it's kind of annoying.  He will rinse out dirty dishes and then just leave them on the counter by the sink.  Um, can you please finish the job you started and put them in the dishwasher?  I does this with other things too - the starting but not finishing things!  He is so very easily distracted!

vickiloew

Oops, meant to say HE does this with other things. Starting but not finishing things!  Sorry.

His snacking habits. We both gained "happy" weight when we got together (me 20, him 40) and I am by no means a perfect eater...I love my fried food, pizza, candy, etc. BUT he'll eat dinner and then get bored and becomes a bottomless pit. Last night he ate dinner, an entire can of pringles, a popcicle, animal crackers, then got pissed at me when I wouldn't hand over some of my chips. Best part is, he'll turn around today and complain that hes getting fat and doesnt like to look in the mirror. He doesn't gross me out as far as his body weight I just can't stand to watch him chow down and then listen to him btch about gaining so much weight. I AM losing at least 15 for my wedding b/c we have a resort honeymoon booked...and I will not listen to the whining b/c he isn't happy in his trunks.

I love my FI, but it really drives me crazy that I'm the one who is supposed to know what we should have for dinner whether we're eating out or at home...*sigh* I just don't always know what I want right away, and he acts like it isn't his problem...(except that he's hungry, and cranky, ect...)

[QUOTE]haha made me smile!! just what i needed! all of the above, also <strong>everytime i decide to take a hot bath, to just relax from a long day, or im overly stressed he ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS has to do his "business" at the EXACT same time!! im like "cant you wait for, like 15 min until im finished"?????</strong>  if only i had my own bathroom!  :) 
Posted by ashley1721[/QUOTE]


My FI does this too and it drives me NUTS! He does it almost EVERY morning while im in the shower... and his excuse is.. "Im sorry i really had to go". My theory is, if you really have to go.. get up BEFORE i get in the shower and go, make sure to spray as well!!!!

neelynicole

I've got another to add, and it goes along with his ineptitude when it comes to dishes.

So I pretty much always do the dishes. I pretty much always unload the dishwasher too. On occasion, FI will 'unload' the dishwasher. As in, the silverware drawer is looking a little sparse, so he'll ONLY put away the silverware. And leave the rest for me to put away. A couple of times he's actually managed to put away everything in the bottom rack *gasp* But apparently there's a magical fairy that takes care of the top rack. Because you know, clearing both racks would just be insane. Ugh.

My FI is just like yours.

However, he is also like other PP's with the sock thing.  I tell him, "your socks are breeding under your desk again, can you please take care of it?"

He grew up in a house with extended family and his co-dependent grandmother (a very sweet lady) would pick his clothes up all over the house and then wash, fold, and put them away for him.  I broke this habit right away when he moved in with me- he is pretty much responsible for all his laundry, and I have no reservations about telling him how terrible he looks in wrinkled pants after he's left them unfolded in the laundry basket for a week.

The SOCKS for the LOVE of SOCKS!  Yes, my DH does the same thing - in the garage before making it into the house, in the shoe closet, and the latest fad in the patio before making it inside...

There was a little story with the SOCKs on the patio though... they developed a case of holes... Not just the one to insert the foot into, but bigger holes where the toes meet the sock...

Crickets! Crickets ate his socks! bwhahahaha....

Now he puts the remaining breeding socks directly into the washer for fear of crickets eating his preciousss socks!

[QUOTE]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
Posted by alliek_81[/QUOTE]

Wow... my FI does the same thing!!!!!  Esp the "dutch oven"!! But I've gotten good at catching him before he throws the sheets over my head!  It is a bit immature, but I love him so much, it doesn't matter.  If that's the biggest problem we have, I'd say we're doing pretty good.

He gets stuck on one thing and will not. stop. talking about it. For DAYS. Like it's a completely new topic.

Normally, it's regarding something I do not care about, like how he's considering buying new speakers for the car, and how easy it is to install them.

(And now I have half of a car in the garage, and he smells like oil.)

BrilhanteBride

My FI is all of the above as well.
but what bugs me the most is that he takes 2 hours to get out of bed in the morning. We'll have a million things to do and he'll still take forever to get up. It takes him an hour from the time he wakes up till he sits up on the side of the bed. Then he'll sit on the side of the bed for another hour before he actually gets his ass up and onto his feet. If i say anything to him he'll say.. "I am getting up...I'm going as fast as I can!" or "well get use to it..you've got me forever now."  Because of it we're always running late. Its got to the point where i have to lie and tell him we have to be somewhere 2 hours before we actually do.

marendale

my FI has farted at the dinner table with my whole family there... like WTF?!?!  Although I do think I'm pretty cool about letting him fart when we're alone.  He also does this low growling noise when he's playing with our dog, but now he just does it randomly while we're sitting watching tv, eating dinner, random times.  I don't think he realizes what he's doing and it drives me crazy!

[Deleted User]

Ha, I could give a few things my fiance does to drive me crazy, but I just want to post how much I absolutely love and adore him!  I'll deal with his idiosyncracies forever if it means I get to have him to love!  (Sorry for the cheesiness.)

omg mine too...I'm still living with my parents until after the marriage and he's in an apartment for now, so when I'm texting him asking him when he's going to come over (we always have crappy reception) it takes him forever. Half an hour after I ask him he says he has to "get ready", and then a while after that he finally gets in the shower, and it takes him forEVER to get over here! I'm honestly a bit worried about what might happen on the wedding day :(

DanielleZZ

maybe im just strange but the family i grew up in was very free with their farts and i remember being 6 and worrying that i would never find a man that i would be able to do the same with.  that was one of the many signs that made me realize he was he one.

I hate this as well.  my fiance has "let himself go" (about 40 lbs)  in the 7 years weve been together but that doesnt bother me its the complaining about it that bothers me...either actually try to lose the weight or just stop talking about it!

DanielleZZ

I suddenly feel lucky that my fiance is a clean freak.  but i know what you all are talking about i grew up with a father and a brother who did the same thing with the dishes as well as some guy roomates its annoying!!!
