How does your significant other drive you crazy?

My wife can sometimes attempt to be controlling--can ya believe it? I say attempt 'cause I don't kinder to well to those attempts and there-in lies our combative ways.

On VK, she started telling me what side dish to order with my fish plate--- i stopped (kids and waiter there) and told her I thought I just might be capable of ordering my own food.

Ayyy Carumba!

YOU HANG IN THERE!!!!!.....NOBODY SHOULD CONTROL ANYONE IN A MARRIAGE...It then stops being a marriage.

Is this my husband? Are you sneaking on here under an assumed alias?

John, I will take the toilet debate further- There is no reason that the seat should have to go up at all- yeah, that's right-I said it- See- if you guys would take just a little time to AIM - well, er- you know you would not have to have a larger target- but nooo- you all have to just hope for the best when it comes to , er, that.

Well, I only got a couple of hours of sleep last night thanks to mine. At 2.30 am he plunks his hand down onto me (and I get the elbow in my ribs) and I wake up with such an adrenaline rush that I couldn't get back to sleep. I had myself so bloody doked up last night so I could get past the pain and sleep, and I had to be woken up. I tossed and turned until morning. I feel like crap and I am pissed off at him. What a way to start my day. I think that after I make soap, I will be hiding out with an SK novel to help me forget the pain. Yeah, and some dokes as well. I am not functioning well at the moment. I was desperate for that sleep. I just finished working six days in a row and I was desperate for sleep.

One of these nights, methinks he might be getting a cold hand someplace. *wicked chortle*

Same here, although for a slightly different reason. (One more night like last night and I will hide both his bedside lamp AND his stupid iPod Touch that lights up the entire room.) I did have a productive moment, though. After I laid in bed awake for a few hours (super rare for me), I decided to get up and browse the web in hopes that I would get really sleepy. Didn't happen ... but I did purchase a better sleep mask on Amazon.

He might like the cold hand?

(even wiked-er chortle!)

[QUOTE=brownmouse;198662]Well, I love my guy (as I'm sure you do too Lady pain) BUT-

He can be such a drama-er- king(?)- if we have a spat he automatically thinks we are headed for divorce court-he'll start circling available apartment ads in the newspaper- very loudly -ruffling pages and muttering "Hmmm, that one looks nice" until I tell him to cut it out; we are NOT going to get a divorce over who's turn it was to change the cat litter.

OMG! If my guy did that every time we had a spat I'd kick his butt.

My guy is pretty decent and a lot of his good qualities are also his downfalls. Everytime he has something to do, he has to do it until it's finished, no matter how big the job. This may seem like a good thing, but it's not when he is painting the kitchen at midnight. I tell him that it will still be there tomorrow, but he just has to have it done. Drives me crazy.

When you get right down to it, I think that's the case with most of us. Our faults are just traits that are a bit out of balance, or just don't mesh 100% with our spouses.

Mine likes me to help him prioritize his work because he has trouble determining the importance of something, whereas I'm very willing and able to make that call. He likes it then, but it bugs him when I call a project we're working on together "good enough." To him, there's no such thing as overkill. But the longer we're married, the more alike we get, I think. He has taught me to be more careful where it counts, and I have taught him that there's no return in giving everything, no matter its importance in your life, 100%.

Well, you are forgetting the rebound droplets.

This is almost like group therapy!


Well to name ONE thing (I'll be back) he's a baby, and he thinks he can justify it with an "I'm hungry/I'm sick/I'm tired" etc. Of course when I'm hungry or tired I can't be grumpy, I need to be making dinner....
Oh, once when he was really sick and I couldn't stay home guess who came over with all the remedies?? His MOM, yup he called her. !?!???!???
