mollybird

ladies.
does your fella do things that really tick you off at times but you forget about it cause your mad about him??

mine doesn't make a comment about what im wearing espically if i make an effort for him. i know he likes it but a commenet wouldn't go astray. :eek:

John Mason

nothing

is not another thread for this kind of thing

Silverfish

That he can never hear me over the sound of how awesome he is

Abi

The snoring (sleep apnoea), the farting, he has crazed fits of cleaning and very specific about how things are placed, tendancy to tell me something - forget he told me and tell me again (several times over), always takes the p*ss out of people but can't handle it himself, racist, sexist, bad taste in music and clothes (great taste in women though )

But sure, he'll do for now :pac: :pac:

mollybird

ah hear that man needs a pin put into his head to deflate his ego. i dated a guy for a while who was like that. was too tiring in the end. can't date a guy who's ego is bigger than me (5 ft)

The only thing that annoys me about his OH is his inability to remember things.

He'll start telling me something or ask me something and I'll say we had this conversation last week. He'll argue and say he doesn't remember then I'll tell him exactly how the conversation went and what we both said. Of course, he can't remember at all.

Sometimes I worry about his brain!

Unaton

OP, it's most and not must.

My bf has to plan everything in excel spreadsheets (like our upcoming holidays). He makes shopping lists. Drives me totally nuts! He's way too organised.

LOL watna, and there was me thinking you'd say your only problem with him is that he's 10,000 miles away

Yes, that does annoy me too! Only for another 2 weeks and 3 days though (not that I'm counting or anything!)

He cant cook, god love him...

And when he does you can guarantee that mashed potatoes and beans will be served with the meal.

Lol, mine does that too. Except when he realises, he just says "it sounds better when I say it":rolleyes:

Ah no, I do get a chuckle outa that though:)

His ability to watch any type of sport all the time!!!

Being single, the man in my life at the moment is Ger Gilroy, who wakes me up every morning by murmuring sweet nothings to me on Newstalk 106. While i'm sure that some of the problems mentioned upthread also apply to Ger, as our relationship is conducted in a one way fashion across the air waves i can remain in ignorant bliss about his hygiene, memory and cooking skills.

Oh, Ger, if only you could ease up a little on the sports obsession and stop charging 30c to text you....

JaneyMc

His inability to accept help in any shape of form.

[WoW]

stealing the blankets at night, always thinking hes right about EVERYTHING and forgetting things :rolleyes:

Glad to know I'm not alone.

He's also annoying me over the past few weeks because of text messages. We're texting all during the day to stay in touch while he's away and it seems like to me he's not reading them. He'll ask what I'm up to for the day and I'll say, for example, I'm going to meet x for lunch. I'll get a message back later saying cool, a nice day at home. How was it? Again it's part of his forgetfulness/brain malfunction but it's so irritating!

Also, Anti... how you dooooin! shh, quick, jules is coming

Eh, this is a rare complaint. i WISH my OH was this organised.

The most irritating thing (I do love him by the way!;)) is his inability to do more than one thing at once - how feeble!:D

and also having to coax him into doing things - just fOOking do it, I say!

BanzaiBk

His general indifference to text messaging annoys me sometimes when I want to chat about stuff during the day, "but I prefer to hear your voice" is what he usually says when I ask why he doesn't text me more. Sure you do, lazy git:D

Do you know what else annoys me, When your in a deep sleep... Dead to the world... And you get the nudge in the back...

He nitpicks....and I mean loads, I love him he just melts my head

He will just nod off straight after, I will spend the next hour or two lying in bed trying to get back to sleep. I dont settle down too good..:(

And a tired quality, is a cranky quality.

Sometimes I let a growl at him... But lying there like a sack of spuds usually kills his desire.:D

My main annoyance is his inablity to close presses/cuboards after opening them. It used to be like a whirlwind passed through my kitchen and opened every single cuboard!! He's much better now

Another annoyance is that he has mini crisises about his goals in life every month or so. I'd have no problem with them if he actually did something about them! He's very good at procrastinating.

Oh God that is soooo annoying, every time I go into my kitchen, I always have to close the press doors. I feel your pain.

The Sweeper

He never used to rewrap the cheese before putting it back in the fridge. So the cheese would go hard and horrible. So I used to do it.

The lesson: I continuously rewrap the cheese, man learns nothing. I leave the cheese to go hard and horrible a couple of times. Man doesn't like hard horrible cheese. Man learns to wrap cheese himself. Hooray!

Chinafoot

He's unbelievably laid back....to the point where he's almost horizontal.

Or when I ask him to do something and he'll say, with one eye on the tv/pc, "Yep, I'll do it now." and then he sits there for another hour. If its not important and you'll do it later, TELL ME!

I'm turning into my mother....:o

Preset No.3

Bored and suffering from insomnia, i turned on laptop to trawl around boards for an hour or so. Stumbled into this forum. Between this thread and the 'how often do you do it', Im glad Im single. Id hate to be so much of a burden to any woman! And yes, three years into single life, im still heartbroken, and I still hate you all! However its getting slightly better, I bought a super new car in Feb, and I think im gonna get a dog from the DSPCA!

Crumble Froo

he worries too much. that's actually it.

I think Mae West said it best;

It's not the men in my life that counts--it's the life in my men.

I do that too. The only difference is, my OH tried the same strategy as you and now at any point in our fridge we have one wrapped (i.e. unopened) block of cheese, and 52 various unwrapped blocks

piscean

My complaint is when I come home from work and OH is already home watching telly and hasn't bothered to start dinner because he doesn't know what to put on - does my head in, sometimes feel tears welling up in my eyes if i'm really tired and hungry:mad:

He's a man.

No offence, but eventually you will need to relise there are something we just won't cop on to. This is because we exist in the happy place where the girl we are with looks good all the time.

Weird but close to true.

it's generally "Sports pages (10 mins), Problem Page (5 mins), Cartoons (5 mins)" I think.

If there's a "good" problem on the problem page, it can be 23 mins.

Thanks for the insight, tbh.

Now i know why my OH gets so annoyed when I keep knocking on the door and asking what he's doing in there!

you're probably knocking during the problem pages photo-casebook. I know I get a little tense when I'm trying to find out if the girl stays with the boring bloke, or goes off with the arsehole.

LivingDeadGirl

He's lazy and has no idea of what romance is. Look what I've gotten myself into!

Can i ask why you are with these men, because most seem to really dislike them ?

A question i have wondered ever since first stumbling in to the Lounge and a lot of the other forums.

I mean, i have seen ladies here saying very contradicting things in threads about their other halves within a few days or each other.

Do the moods really change so much or is it just a case of some of you gals are genuinely messed up?
