QOTD 10/16

If you could change one thing about your FI, what would it be?

FLGatorGal88 · October 2012

hmm.... It would have to be him never wanting to try new things. He likes to stay inside of his little bubble most the time. It's a slow work in progress.

Annas2013 · October 2012

Probably his planning skills or his dependence on his parents' advice. I'm working on both, but like FLGator, it's a slow process.

aprahamian2 · October 2012

I like that FI is laid back (I am not), but sometimes I think he is too laid back. He doesn't worry so much about deadlines and things that that, which really aggravates me.

RebCappon · October 2012

His dependence on his parents' advice and he's a tad emotional. (he jokingly calls himself the girl of the relationship, it may be true lol)

The emotionalness is here to stay I think, the dependence on the parents' advice is a work in progress..

FI doesn't eat anything.! Lol. He only eats spaghetti, lasagna, fried fish and chicken, and french fries. And the fish has to be salmon, tilapia, or whiting. We could go out to eat and he will order off the kids menu for chicken fingers. We went to Famous Daves and he ordered chicken fingers lol cause he doesn't eat BBQ. How does it look I had bbq chicken, a half rack of ribs and baked beans and he's eating chicken nuggets lol. He hates any kind of sauce. Only sauce he likes is Ragu lol marinara sauce. On our honeymoon, I am gonna make him eat some real food. I told him i don't care if you don't like it, atleast you tried it. He will look at something and he will be like 'Nope I don't eat it.' How do you know you don't like it if you never tried it.?! Lol. He loves the look of food, like I wouldn't be surprised if he was a food photographer in his past life. He's obsessed with the way a perfectly cooked medium rare steak looks, but he won't eat it. Lol.

I would say to stop buying gas station food all the time. We have food in the house we've already bought, why spend more and eat fried french toast sticks at Kwik Trip? That drives me NUTS.

Ugh I will cook this huge meal and he'll go to McDonalds. Took me awhile to realize it's not my cooking, just the way he was brought up (on fast food). It sucks but he's trying to do better :/

[Deleted User] · October 2012

I would change his cluelessness ( is that a word lol)...I ask him all the time what he would do without me (and how he even survived this long). Sometimes I feel like his mom instead if his fiancé.

jmozul01 · October 2012

Nothing he's perfect!

ha yeah right! My only complaints are that I wish he'd cook once in a while and make plans ahead of time, not last minute.

rswans · October 2012

I think the only thing I'd change is I'd tweek his tendency to say whatever he's thinking and not think about how it might make others feel. It's usually (on his side) the source of our arguments because he'll be blunt about something and say it the second he thinks it while I'm the kind of person who needs to think things through before I talk about them. However, it is great for when there's a problem with someone else because he'll tackle it no problem.

samantha24p · October 2012

Hahaha I'd love for him to stop mumbling.

MamaBear904 · October 2012

FI gets crazy anxious about everything. Something as insignificant as a bill is due gets him all nervous... "its the 12th. Isn't electric usually due on the 12th? We should have gotten the bill by now. Maybe we should go online and find out."
Most of the time I calm him down, "yes, I already checked, the statement is rolling over on the 12th. It will be in the mail shortly. It okay. It will be ok." But it overwhelms him so easily in so many ways about so many things. Every single time I mention something about the wedding that is money related, his response is "maybe I should un-invite people. Maybe we should scale back on the honeymoon."

Ugh... "It will be ok!!!"

Yes, It's a work in progress

emmyloveseddie · October 2012

I want him to dress up more when we go out .... his always wearing gym clothes ahhh its drives me insane

SRRL18 · October 2012

His self image. He's constantly down on himself about the way he looks. The man doesn't realize how sexy he is!

turtleslove · October 2012

FI is SO forgetful! Drives mes nuts, and I have to remember everything for the both of us.

deviousmuse · October 2012

He is stubborn. Once he makes a decision, there is almost no moving him from it.

Oh, and he is really determined that I drop my last name entirely, versus dropping my middle name. So I'd go from...
Darcey Ann [Maiden Name]
to
Darcey Ann [His Name]

But I prefer
Darcey [Maiden Name] [His Name]

DivaJenD · October 2012

His lack of ambition and drive... Don't get me wrong - he works hard.. He works 2 jobs actually - a full time job and a part time job... But with the full time job, he's been in basically the same position for about 18 years... There's absolutely no ambition to work his way up and try to make more money and take on more responsibility... Every time an opportunity comes up for him to apply for a higher-up position, he comes up with some excuse or some reason not to go for it. ....It's just so frustrating, because no matter what I say to him about it, nothing changes...

MrsBad13 · October 2012

I wish FI was more of a risk taker and step outside of the box. FI can be such a diva some time. What I mean by that...he will complain about whos driving on date night. Lol nonsense. I also wish he knew how to cook and not just make a bowl of noodles or make a turkey sandwich. Other than that I love and like him to pieces.

Posted by SSaltzman87[/QUOTE]

His procrastination & forgetfulness! Drives me nuts! But he is trying harder by putting things in his phone as reminders.

SSaltzman87 · October 2012

FI's not a picky eater, but he does eat WAY too much processed crap. He was brought up on it :-(

So I wish he was more willing to eat healthier and not get mad when I try to make an effort at the grocery store to get healthier stuff and he wants to get candy, cookies, and other processed crap in the cart too.

Sundaylou · October 2012

I wish he would pick up after himself more. We both have the bad habit of leaving messes in our path, but he is definitely the bigger culprit. I'm known to junk up our coffee table or leave my dishes in the living room. He will leave trash on the kitchen table when the trash can is honestly 2 feet away!

melb2013 · October 2012

He doesn't "go with the flow" well. Once he has his mind stuck on something, nothing can change.

TogetherPerfect · October 2012

I would say his need to always want to be right. eerrrggg... Besides that... not too many complaints. lol

SL815 · October 2012

Once he makes up his mind - that's it. So if we have different opinions on something, it's hard to have a conversation about it or get him to see the 'other side'. Also, he likes to 'fly by the seat of his pants' and I like to plan things out (over plan things actually). Nothing wrong with being spontaneous - I wish he would think things through a little more sometimes.

Ggoughen · October 2012

He's very laid back most of the time. He often says 'it'll be okay babe'. I remind him that it will be okay because we make it okay , it doesn't just happen.

sarahaleen · October 2012

His ADD. He can't just sit still for more than an hour unless he's sleeping. Sometimes I just want to have a lazy day and do nothing!
