if you could change....

ONE thing about your FI, what would it be? I wish my FI knew how to cook. I hate cooking all of the time.

Elinetrouwt

He'd wear different glasses.

Ok, and he'd like camping and outdoorsy things. That's two.

my fiance is not a planner. sometimes i wish he would plan every second of a weekend getaway for us. however, i LOVE planning and think it is fun (i just emailed him a minute-by-minute itinerary for the two of us for activities and outings we have planned for saturday), so i guess it works out that planning is the one thing he doesn't like to do

this is probably TMI, but How he is a horndog 24/7. lol.

BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I couldn't keep quiet with this one, I seriously LOLed.. that's hilarious.

I wish FI were a little more open. Sometimes when he gets something stuck in his head, that's all there is. Gets frustrating whenever we get into a discussion. I also wished he liked dancing much more.

I wish my fiance were better with finances and keeping track of them. It gets old having to pay attention to them all the time because he doesn't.

That he didn't talk about work ALL the time, in particularly when we go to his parents... his dad works in the same field and they know all the same people..

bridetobe71412

I wish he didn't snore! But I have taught him to sleep on his side, so he only snores when he flips on his back (which only happens sometimes now).

MeaganR12

My FI developed a pretty extreme panic/anxiety/obsessive compulsive disorder last winter. It's changed our life a bit and I often wish things would go back to the way they were.

BUUUTTT I'm sure that's not what you meant so I'll go with something funny instead. On the subject of TMI, my FI really prefers sex in the morning and afternoon, hardly ever at night. But I look at sex like: you get in bed, you do it, you go to sleep. So that one is annoying.

This to the "T" I always have to budget for him and remind him of payments and deadlines for things.

BmoreBride311

He gets grumpy, especially when he's hungry, and it's really difficult to keep him full...

BrightFirefly

He "clams up" when he gets mad about something - and won't tell me what's up.

k8888

bells hahahaa... Typical males I think it's between 2 things for my FI: 1) he's the world's pickiest eater and I'm the total opposite. I hate not being able to go out to certain restaurants with him because he won't eat anything. I LOVE Thai food and never get to eat it! 2) he never.stops.picking.his.nose!!!! It's like a constant magnet for his finger, it's SO GROSS.

pillsburyaj

That he would dance!

michelle11988

I have two:

That he would eat fish/seafood.  And that he would dance more often.

mekiakoo

That he would share his feelings more instead of clamming up if we get into an argument and that he'd stop farting all the time!

Rebis58

FI talks A LOT. It was one of my favourite things about him at first, because I felt 100% comfortable with him within a week of meeting him. Now sometimes it gets a little overwhelming, especially after a really long day. Also, he tends to interrupt me to tell his own stories, or just basically "waits his turn" til I'm done a sentence so he can change the subject to his thing. Sometimes I just want the conversation to be about me! I am sometimes tempted to clamp my hand over his mouth and ask him to give me half an hour of silence or listen to my stories (don't worry, I don't do it haha).

At the same time, I would hate for him to change this because he is super outgoing, I don't have to worry about him in social situations, and he gets along great with all my family and friends. I just wish he would sometimes let me just be quiet. I do tell him when I am feeling interrupted or like he is not really listening to me, and he tries really hard to change this habit, but it still happens occasionally. 

dramaqueen91087

I wish he would stop clamming up when he's upset. Whenever he's upset about anything he shuts down compleltly. It drives me nuts because I can't help him. And it can be anything, from the stupid to the super important. For example, about an hour ago I go annoyed because he did something stupid (put the bottom part of my phone case in his mouth, what is he 5?). So I asked him to stop doing crap like that. He got frustrated and hasn't spoken in full sentences to me since. Things will be fine in the morning but its frustrating that he won't talk to me so it can be fine now. I don't even know for sure if he's upset because of me, often its something else entirely.

owengirl996

At first I couldn't think of any, then I read more of this thread LOL

My first thing would be like a PP said...being a horndog constantly!!

Also, I hate when he breathes with his mouth open. Blech. (I hate when ANYONE does this, really.)

And finally (yes, this is more than ONE thing lol oops...), he's constantly reading the news and stuff on his laptop and then proceeds to tell me entire stories I really don't care to hear about. However, I humor him most of the time and listen just enough I can respond lol

newenglandorr

His obsession with fancy/expensive cars. His 2 cost more than my mortgage payment. Why is this SUCH a guy thing? I totally don't get it.

LADY324

Lol I will jump on the horn ball wagon I am constantly yelling at him for trying to jump my bones! I have limited him to the weekends and hump day haha. He also complains about work all of the time! And snores! Ha sorry that was three things!

bahahahaha!!!!  I forgot about that until now!!!

FI is up until 4am almost every night...it drives me insane!  I know I am sleeping, but I hate going to bed by myself...

elizabethmae315

Nati05; I agree with both of yours!!

I was a dancer, so while its different in a club setting, I love dancing anyways. But FI thinks he looks silly and gets all self conscious so the only thing he'll do is swing dance (which he is really good at), but this means I cant dance at a bar anywhere, cuz he wont dance with me, and I dont want rando dudes coming up to me either. 

And I wish he wasnt sooo focused. Its a task i admire about him sometimes, he helps me focus in certain situations. But his brain is so one-tracked that if he starts thinking about something- its stuck in his head for days, and if its master thesis, he gets all stressed and crabby, and his bald spot gets worse and theres not a dang thing i can do about it and it pisses me off sometimes. 

YuMMMy721

I wish he would remember personal things better. I am constantly having to remind him of things, but he can name off every Subaru for the last 15 years, its frustrating!! He used to fight me on it all the time when I'd remind him of something, and he'd be like "you didn't tell me that", but now he just says sorry i forgot! But it's still really annoying.
