    Like How the fcuk does he get green shaving gel on the walls?

    Can he not pick up his own jocks off the bathroom floor?

    I hate this when i am cleaning or doing the washing up and i get told "leave it i will do it later!" and later never ever comes and i end up doing it myself anyway.

    This all sounds eerily familiar!

    Another thing: he is incapable of spending small change. He simply does not seem to consider any coins smaller then 50 cent cash, so brings it all home, empties his pockets whereever suits him, and leaves me to pick it up and somehow spend it. Only a few weeks ago I counted all the 1, 2, 5, and 10 cent coins and ended up with 12,78 Euro. I rolled them up so I had little sticks each containing 1 or 2 Euro and the last one 78 cent. Three shopping trips later I thought I was finally rid of it. Nah, all long since replaced! :mad:

    So next time you see a girl with an angry expression on her face blocking the self-check-out at Tesco's, please spare a kind thought...

    OMG i think we have the same boyfriend :eek:

    He empties his change onto the locker or mantle piece every day after work so i started putting it into a jar as it was actually turnign green sticking to the locker. Now i empty the jar every few weeks into the coin counting machine and can get as much as 40 euro!!

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    You're complaining that your boyfriend gives you free money?

    Hmm..

    The ridiculously large TV thats now sitting in my not so large sitting room. There was nothing wrong with the last one.
    If theres something techy he has to do it has to be done right there and then, but the dirty dishes can sit on the counter for a week.
    He takes ages to make a decision on anything.
    I always end up doing the dishes/hoovering/ironing/cleaning because "I'll do it later" seems to be man-speak for "I'm going to ignore it until you crack and do it yourself."

    Apart from all that he's wonderful :p


    And you're complaining that your boyfriend got a huge tv for your house?!


    You girls don't know how lucky you are!

    Her moaning and abusing people behind their backs. Last night, her daughter went out saying she'd do x when she came home, but the OH ranted on and on about x not being done. She eventually started calling her Satan's child (no, I'm not joking) and other odious ****. I finally told her she was being obnoxious and foul-mouthed and she took umbrage at that. Like WTF? She won't say boo to her to her face though. She also bad mouths me when I'm not there to the kids. A while back I was upstairs, but in earshot, when I heard her calling me a useless pr1ck to the kids (which may be true :)). When I challenged her about it, she said it was a "figure of speech".

    As you can guess, things are slowly unravelling in my relationship.

    Oh yeah, she snores like a pneumatic drill.

    Does he promise to take the rubbish out in the morning when he leaves for work about four days in a row until you finally do it yourself since the second bag is nearly full? :pac:
    i started putting it into a jar

    Yepp, that's what I do. Except that I have to collect the change from everywhere: the bed, lockers all around the flat, on the ground, and, of course, in the washing machine unless I thoroughly look through his pockets before washing. At one stage he proceeded to fill a baseball cap with it! Nice surprise when I went to pick it up...

    Other guys leave little romantic notes for their girlfriends. Knowing him he'll claim that his is a more practical version of this! :rolleyes:

    Yes yes he does. But he goes one better. He puts wet rubbish into a paper bag and leaves it on the counter so when i go to pick it up when its over flowing, it tears and the contents pour onto the counter which most likely include cigerette butts, wet tissue, left over curry etc.

    Noice :mad:

    I wouldn't. The problem isn't like that at all. Like I said: He simply doesn't consider small change to be money. This means he asks me almost every morning if I have a fiver or a tenner. I only end up with the small change in return. Thanks, like... :rolleyes:

    So sorry Triny, but trust me, you wouldn't want the football obsession!

    As for Wibbs, I think there's still hope. Your bf sounds too much for comfort like a long lost or rather never revealed sibbling of mine...

    The way his room is waaay more tidy than mine. It's like...perfect, not a thing out of place, where as mine is like a bomb hit it.

    Sometimes when he feels we must do something at the weekend. I mean, i spend everyday in college with him, we need a BIT of a break.

    When he tells me I'm beautiful, because i get embarrassed and dunno what to say back, because i sound like a tard when i say "you are too"..:o

    Probably laziness. He rarely rises before 3pm at the weekend, which means we can never go anywhere together, as its always too late by the time he's ready.

    Why shouldn't people with hair one inch long use conditioner (allbeit a suitably small amount)?

    Because conditioner is meant to repair split ends, prevent breakages and repair and prevent against damage from styling with hairdryers and the like... not much of which applies unless your hair is at least long enough to go past your ears.

    However, if he were to purchase and use his own conditioner, god speed. Just don't be wasting mine because you neither know nor care of the difference between shampoo and conditioner.

    My understanding from reading this is that there are many types of conditioner.

    It's meant to change the texture of your hair also.
    I have short hair, it gets dry after I wash it.
    Conditioner can work for anyone, even if they a blade 1 haircut, imo.

    tell me about it :( he sounds so bad we're buying a 3 bed house so I have 2 other rooms to sleep in. He's so stubborn, the 4 horses of the armadegon could come along and he still wouldn't change his mind.

    That's all very informative... but it was my understanding that this thread is about things that annoy us about our partners. My ex-bf - who I was talking about - did not have dry hair, or require conditioner, or even intend to use conditioner, but persisted in using mine without knowing what it actually was. Which was annoying. Which was my point. I wasn't talking in general terms.

    Thats a lot of money on something we don't need. When you're living together and thinking about the future a 46" TV is really unnecessary.

    i do hate how set in his ways he can be. i get that for the couple of years before we met, he'd resigned himself to being single for the rest of his life, and between that, the depression and the lack of money, he just didnt go out, didnt do anything. and it was a biiiiiiig step to get into a relationship with me, let alone me moving in.

    but it is so ****ing hard to get him out of his current comfort zone! there is so much more to life than television, mid day naps, television and bed! im doing my nut trying to get him to go out to gigs (he LOVES music, used to be a roadie, cos he just liked to give back to the musicians), surf (he used to, lived *on* the beach, even, and loved it... but now self conscious), walk, have a puck around hurling....

    i *know* he'd enjoy all these things, and things like going for a walk/puck around, we've done now and then, and he's moaned and moaned, and then really enjoyed himself, said we'd have to do it more often, and hten just doesnt.

    *frustrated*
