loves and loathes! !

[unruliejulie]

what funny little traits does your partner have that you really love and find endearing and what really gets your back up about them, something that they do or say that irritates the hell out of you?

[helliebobs]

Hi Jules, my husband has a really unique way of dancing, makes up weird little songs for me and refuses to let me be miserable for too long. However, he's a really noisy eater, has to use every single utensil in the kitchen if he's cooking and has an annoying habit of saying "Be careful!" or "Mind that!" once I've already tripped up or fallen over!

[orangelady]

My Boyfriend has a habit of saying eh when I ask him a question so that i have to repeat it, I always know when he really hasn't heard me as he says pardon, he also coughs when he is talking to me on the phone which really annoys me as it is a high pitched smokers cough and also when he sneezes he wipes his hand on me. What about you unrulie?

[unruliejulie]

well, where do i start.........lol my hubby has this habit of wrinkling his nose which is quite sweet but he annoys me because he is always coughing and it goes right through me, more of a habit than a genuine need for a cough, Oh, this one really drives me mad too, he is forever shoving a cotton bud down his ear to clean them and as a result, is quite deaf, drives me mad! and snoring of course!

[helliebobs]

Jules, I forgot to add snoring, but then again, I snore too so I can't really whinge! It's apparently got worse since I've been pregnant too!

[unruliejulie]

ahhh congratulations hellibobs, i didnt know! when is it due and is this your first? oh, and you're excused of any bad habits whilst pregnant! lol

[devilwoman]

my hubby irritates me cos after every sentence he says,
know what i mean? god it drives me nuts.

does he think i'm thick?

[crete]

ladies if that is the only thing that irritates you about your men id say , its not to bad !

[rugeleyboy]

jules......i have just gone into the kitchen to make my son a sarnie and she has put the butter in the fridge, thats not a problem, but she leaves it out in the summer???????

[unruliejulie]

lol @ rb! thats women for ya ;-) Please dont go and ask her why! I'm sure there must be a reason why she does that , there must be, mustn't there????? lol

[rugeleyboy]

another one................. when i have finished with my shoes she puts them in the upstairs cupboard??????

[anderlee]

my other half has lots of bad habits-snoring,clearing his throat very loud,never puts anything in the bin and more recently, when hes got a point to make, he starts 'i'm not being funny but....'. It drives me MAD!.
I will get back to you when i think of the good ones!!

[unruliejulie]

rb, why is that so bad???? It could be worse, she could make YOU take them up there!!!!!
anderlee, i work with a lady who always starts her sentences with " im not being funny....but" YOU SO ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

[maggie01]

Funny how the irritating ones outweigh the funny ones. It amused me when I first read the question and was wondering how many funny traits there would be.

[unruliejulie]

i noticed that too maggie, im not haearing many of those cute little traits i asked about am i???? lol maybe its the funny little things we loved so much at the start that begin to irritate us!

[ELVIS68]

Lights!!!....What annoys me is my wife has this knack of leaving every light in the house on, she even moans at me when she comes home and the christmas lights aren`t on..

I`ll get back to you when I think of something I find endearing

[AliFlump]

The only thing that annoys me about my fiance is that when we go to sleep her breathes really loudly,

As for the cute things here we go: makes me breakfast in bed all the time, comes and meets me from work at dinner and home time when he's on his days off ( i live 5 mins walk from work), surprises me with gorgeous clothes and shoes and takes me on lil weekends abroad all the time. He's also put up with my xmas songs lately even tho he hates them.

Cant honestly think of anything bad about him.

[FoxLee]

Devilwoman - when my husband was my boyfriend many years ago in the early sixties, he had the same habit as your husband. I used to come back at him with 'no, I don't know what you mean, can you tell me'? It really didn't take long for him to stop saying 'you know what I mean'. Why don't you try it.

A recent annoying one is him saying '.....and everything else' when clearly there wasn't anything else. When I can be bothered I ask him what the everything else is but as you get older, these things wash over you.

One funny habit he has is when swallowing pills (and he takes several every day), he has to throw his head right back. He doesn't have to do this to swallow food so why when swallowing pills?

[rugeleyboy]

aliflump....................i want you to report back when you have got a pair of kids hanging of each breast and your trying to get "HIS" dinner ready for him in a few years!!!

oh, its like a mirror image of me, i was lovely till she married me, now i even disgust myself!!! lol

[daisy48]

My other half never eat's his meals if we've had a row. Even if its a teeny row. I dish his food up up but he wont touch it and goes upstairs sulking in the loft watching tele then half hour later he comes down and does himself egg on toast! Childish or what? ELVIS Im laughing about the Xmas lights:-))))
