“Pretty Sure Hubby Does This On Purpose”: Women Share 55 Infuriating Examples Of Men Being Men (New Pics)

He is mad that I’m upset.

When we got our kitten, he liked us both equally. He would play with us both, cuddle with us both, follow us both around. Over time he started showing an obvious preference for my husband. And then he started ignoring me completely, even if I tried to play with him or feed him.

It turns out that every time he interacted with my husband, my husband was giving him treats because “he’s just so cute.” Now he’s fully trained to only want my husband around. Husband feels bad now that he’s realized what he’s done and will not be giving treats anymore, but we don’t want to retrain him to prefer me (and ignore my husband), and we’ve tried both rewarding him for attention, but he still wants nothing to do with me. So I guess I’m officially the spare human now.

Apparently there was no more space in the rack and everything else were "small items" (kids tshirts, socks and shorts) needless to say, nothing at the top got dry.

Not only did he do it upside down, but it's incredibly messy.

Well I guess it technically is on the holder. Going on 13 years together, one of those things that's not annoying enough to make a big deal about but always makes me go "really?" every time I walk into the bathroom and see it.

There was plenty of normal Tupperware...

My husband has been driving my car for the past week. He ALWAYS drives until the fuel tank is incredibly low. And yes, we’ve had to call AAA because we’ve run out of gas on the interstate on family trips.

I've learned I have to be super specific when I ask him to do things. I always forget! Love him and all of his imperfections.

For the record, my baby is weaning off formula onto whole milk so no breastmilk was harmed in this process.

Started packing up the diaper bag this morning and went to go grab the bottles. Behind today’s bottles were too older bottles with about 1.5oz each. They were both of an unknown date so my husband labeled them as “Dump” to indicate they needed to be thrown away.
The sink was 3 feet from where he was standing. He could have just dumped them. Instead, he went through the process of finding labels and marking them.

My husband isn't a big fan of sweets but blueberry is his favorite fruit and he found out recently he really likes meringue. I asked him what kind of dessert he wanted for his birthday since he doesn't care much for cake. He said a blueberry merginue pie so that's what I made. I spent 3 hours on this pie last night for him to take 2 bites and say he doesn't like it. I don't like blueberries so I ended up binning the pie. Roughly $25 of ingredients and 3 hours of my life I'll never get back.

He kept it, and he’s eating it anyway, but I’m pregnant, so I’m too afraid.
I asked him to put it away and he covered it in plastic wrap but left it out because he thought it needed to cool longer. He didn’t say anything, so I never thought to double-check before we went to bed.

He said the initial hole was from one of our pets and then it kept getting bigger as he sat on his foot. He was very believable, but I’ll need to monitor his behavior around furniture to decide if I believe him.

He left all the plastic bags on the floor and on the counter and didn't take care of any pantry items. All this in the midst of throwing a fit because I asked for his help when he wanted to sleep.

Is this normal? I usually use, like, one bowl and microwave it. Then he left them in the sink for two days.

My husband sent me a text with this photo pointing out the missing chocolate. I admited to having eaten it. My husband felt I had one too many and so I came home to find an empty box.

He made a ham sandwich with mayo and cheese. Only he doesn't like his cheese ON the sandwich. He eats the chunk like a savage!

I caught this when I walked in on him washing dishes and he only rinsed the pasta pot and put it right back in the cupboard. It wasn’t even dry yet.

Why are people like this!!?? Every single bag still has chips in it. The Dorito bag has like 4 chips and crumbs… Who leaves 4 chips in a bag!??! I think he might be insane.

I don’t think he had ill intentions, he did mention something about control on whether I wanted icing or not… but we've been married 7 years. He knows dang good, and well, I want icing on my cake. I bought the ingredients!

It’s been gathering all this for 2 weeks.

I love my husband, but I want to put him in a body bag when I see this. He constantly will put food in a gallon ziplock bag, rather than using one of the MANY bag clips we own or just keeping them in the original box and closing it properly. I don’t understand. It’s a waste of bags and completely unnecessary.

My boyfriend is a very picky eater. We have been living together for a few months, and it seems like I can never get his food right. It's honestly discouraging.

I have kids, and they happily eat my food. I cook for family gatherings and church events. I've never had a problem with people eating my food. It's like every day there are new rules. He can't eat chicken for dinner because he had chicken for lunch. He isn't really in the mood for porkchops. It's just "missing something". He doesn't eat onions, tomatoes, fish, any kind of asian food, he doesn't eat most vegetables with the exception of broccoli. He only eats vanilla ice cream.

He doesn't like food heated in the microwave (so leftovers are out.) He doesn't like corn. It's just endless. I'm old school and trying to be a good partner. He can't really cook at all. His favorite meal is Hamburger Helper. I think a lot of it is how he grew up, but dang, it's frustrating.
The first picture is tonight's dinner. I added more pictures of stuff I have cooked that he won't eat. Like he will DoorDash Jack in the Box. He'll be apologetic, but it's just sad.

I'm creating a home gym, so I bought a used elliptical. As I'm scrubbing it clean, my boyfriend says he'd like to try removing the scuffs "like they do to the stadium chairs with the fire". So he grabs his heat gun and starts melting the plastic casing. It's still functional, but every time I see it I'm reminded of how bad of a decision that was.

My son is at camp, and I wanted to surprise him with a bedroom makeover when he gets back. Hubby asked if I wanted him to put this together as I was leaving for work. I said I could do it later. He did it anyway, and he did it wrong. He’s sensitive about it because he feels bad he messed up, but I’m still irritated that it’s ugly like this, and if I try to fix it, there will be nail holes on the finished side.

I love my husband, but it's infuriating to open the dryer and find handfuls of gloves from his scrub pockets. He told me to ask the spouses of other healthcare workers, and they will all report finding gloves in the laundry.

Sent my husband to the store for paper towels and a few other items. Comes back with pie and only pie. I ain’t too mad about it, because yeah, I’m gonna eat some pie, but it sure would be nice to have some paper towels to wipe my mouth with afterwards.

He grew up on a horsey ranch in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming. So, he saves and recycles/reuses everything. We now live in an environment pretty much the opposite of that. Hard to shake your past, I guess. To be clear, mildly is the key word here. A bit humorous as well. Different perspectives are how we grow!

Husband hung our new tv and insists it’s the right height.

Yes, he puts the salt in his hand first and then spreads it on the food. Yes, there is a perfectly functional salt dispenser right there. He insists this method gives him more precision.

My husband made me a coffee this morning and put it in a pretty glass, but it’s too hot to pick up. Earlier this week he made me hot chocolate and did the same thing. I just want a mug with a handle so I can pick up my drinks!!
