Talks when I am listening to my audiobook - so I pause it and let him finish - hit play and then he starts to talk again
When he gets sick he refuses to take medicine and then complains about how he doesn’t feel good
I can only ask one question at a time while texting because he only responds to the most recent thing I send
he constantly asks me questions he could easily figure out the answer to. like he’ll be holding a box of pasta and ask me how long he’s supposed to cook it for
She wears socks to bed and then in the middle of the night will take the socks off and leave them there at the end of the bed under the covers. I call it her sock graveyard.
He gives himself noooo wiggle room. If the destination says 27 minutes he will leave 28 minutes before
takes the toilet roll off the holder when he uses it and NEVER puts it back on. just leaves it on the counter.
When he says, what do you mean? When I said exactly what I meant and it couldn’t mean anything else.
Watches the same shows everyday. We’ve been together 10 years. He’s watched every episode of My Wife and Kids and Everybody Hates Chris over a dozen times by now. I think he’s acoustic
Saying he is not sleeping , while he is snoring ( after I push him not to snore) . Irritating!
He waits until I’m completely ready before he starts getting ready and will complain how long I take
he says “i dont think so” instead of no. im like “did you let the dog out?” and he says i dont think so when he knows he didnt. like just say no
Doesn’t always respond when I talk bc “there was no response to what you said” idc if I say I just [passed gas] at least say something anything
In the car park drives past all the good spots and parks as far as he can away from the shop that we mayswell of walked from home
When I say I have a headache he tells me to take paracetamol…I wasn’t looking for a solution I was looking for sympathy
he will use a different cup everytime he has a drink. just get a waterbottle like me, whats with all the cups.
He licks his fingers after eating something with his hands 😭😭 like it’s harmless to use a napkin I promise
When I’m telling him something and he’s on his phone. I know he’s listening, but I just want him to look at me.
He doesn’t push the kettle back against the wall once he’s done so it’s left halfway across the counter. Fries my brain!!
He’s too calm.. why don’t you have anxiety or panic about anything? Why are you so relaxed? Why don’t you freak out about time or anything at all????
