I was telling my husband yesterday about our funny thread about what our spouses/husbands do that annoys us...and he said, "I'd like to know what those ladies do that annoys their spouses!" So I thought that might also be a funny thread. I'll start: I leave clothes piled on the chest at the end of our bed and sometimes on the floor if I think I might want to wear them again. But it gets out of hand, I admit it. He hates that. And I leave used tea bags on the counter. He really doesn't like that, either. So I try to toss them out. But sometimes I forget. What do you do? I'm a cry-er. His outward response is annoyance and some times even anger. I learned years ago that it's mainly due to his inability to fix the things I'm crying about. Well, most things. He also hates that on the very rare occasion we get into a "knock-down" fight, I keep him on point. I also insist on having the conversation...not simply walking away from it like he would prefer. We did that for years and guess what? Nothing was ever resolved. Now, if it's important enough to get that pissy over (as he did recently), then it's important enough to come to a reasonable conclusion and try to find a resolution that works for both of us. Still, it pisses him off. I'm sure there are DOZENS of other things. It's a two way street after all.

For some odd reason that I can't explain, I leave cabinet doors open.. I don't do it purposely and my daughter does the same... Which is funny.. I found an old picture of my mom in her mom's kitchen and all the cabinets in the background were open!!
Losing my keys is another one!

I'm an extreme procrastinator and he's a "get it done and out of the way" kind of guy. He'll sometimes remind me of something I need to do a couple of times, and I either forget or put it off until the absolute minute. Also, before I leave the house, I seem to always run back in to make sure things are "off." I think he's gotten used to it, though.

I do something similar to that, too-- when we're in the car ready to pull out of the driveway, I usually have to run back inside to get something I've forgotten I wanted to take-- like my phone, a coupon for the restaurant we're going to, something important!

Okay, with the fat comment, I have to say something to you. I do the same thing myself, however, I have 3 impressionable girls and I have really been trying to reign it in. I see that you have 2 girls. How would you like it if they said the same thing about themselves? I have been around the board long enough to know, you have been working on being healthier. You need to give yourself way more credit. Don't put yourself down if for no other reason than I know you wouldn't want your children to put themselves down either and you want to set a good example for them! _____________________ To add to that, I had a boyfriend I was with for many years said it when I talked down about myself, such as calling myself fat, I was indirectly telling him that his choice in women sucked. He thought I was beautiful and my degrading myself sent the message that his idea of beautiful was invalid. I have never said another bad thing about myself in front of anybody I was dating since then. It really stuck with me. Thank you for sharing this... I needed the reminder. I catch myself doing the same thing around my family. I just have this overwhelming need to make sure everyone knows that I know that I am fat/ugly/dumb. One time my daughter asked me to stop saying I was ugly because people say SHE looks like me (she does not at all, thank goodness, but some say that) and it felt like I was calling her ugly. I am going to share this lesson you learned with both of my kids.

I am a person who is cool and calm during a crisis, but little piddly shit like computer or printer malfunctions sends me over the edge and I lose it. He just said that is #1 but there are many others.
