| Severe health anxiety. Is convinced that they have a worst case scenario rare disease based on some completely benign symptom. Discusses nothing but the possible disease until they've been seen by a specialist. They're getting help for this, but it's tiring. |

She:
has no empathy hypocrite impatient verbally abusive |
| I keep meeting her former sexual partners. I didn't know she was such a slut |
Do they introduce themselves as her formal sexual partners? |
Wait, this is me, not my spouse. What GI problem could lead to this?i was blaming peri menopause. I also think ibs Because explosive diarrhea is an issue. |
Here too, he won’t manage his symptoms so we all suffer all the time. Weekends are the worst. |
He: Very self-centered Chronic exec functioning issues Slow processing speed, forgetful, unorganized, poor listener Avoidant and stonewalls |
Ditto, except he doesn’t give me sweet kisses. |

Oh my god the Loud. Footsteps. Stomping. All. The. Time.
Like, he just jams his heel onto the floor with every step. With headphones in I can still -feel- it reverberating through our house. It drives me insane. |
AGREED. Add that to my list above. |

He waits until he has undivided attention and gets really into a story. Then he will stop midway through, changing the subject for a several minutes until someone prompts him back to finish the story. I think he did it originally in order to get attention as a child (middle child of 9 kids), then it became a habit. Now he thinks it's funny, but it's super irritating.
Other than that he's really great, and I'm sure my habits are worse. |
Our cat does that for attention. Stomps down the stairs like a 200lb man. |
| He has no sense of control over his own behavior and life. He acts like things just happen to him, and when something's wrong, it never occurs to him to come up with a plan to fix it and follow through. Like, he's gained probably 15 lbs over the last few years. I don't even care really. But hearing him complain about being fat and then not do anything to solve it is such a turn off. Accept it or fix it, don't whine about it. But it's like that with everything. |
How long have you been married to my husband? |
|
1. How she loads the dishwasher (there is no logic)
2. The top of her toothpaste tube is oozy and crusty 3. Not knowing how to switch the input on TV after 15 years 4. How she wrecks the bed every night sleeping (I make it every a.m.) 5. That she is kind of an elitist with an IVY degree 6. She never stops at a stop sign Yes you, MDS! |
