Wow--my husband is pretty great compared to some of what I've read so far. But I'll still complain!
Doesn't "see" things around the house--i.e. doesn't pick up things that need to be put away, straightened up.
He'll pile his dishes up in the sink instead of loading them in the dishwasher.
On the rare occasion that he unloads the dishwasher, he will leave one random item on the counter, like he doesn't know where the saucepan goes.
He doesn't pay any bills or do any of the admin stuff for our lives--I have to handle all of that, including school paperwork and bureaucratic stuff. Not because I like doing it--it would probably never occur to know that it needed to be done.
He's kind of the absent-minded professor type (though he's not an actual professor).
I guess it could be much worse!

SO SLOW. Sometimes I want to tear my hair out. I can get 3 baby/toddlers dressed and in the car for a road trip and then we sit there waiting for 45 minutes while he does a million little things and stares at himself in the mirror (seriously- sometimes I just catch him staring at himself!). It drives me bat shit crazy. Or I just finish dinner and we all sit down with company and he'll decide to go take a 20 minute dump. We are always waiting on him 24/7. Everything is always late. He's so lucky he married me- I'm speedy, prompt and super organized. I'm convinced it's the ADD

He lies about weird things that don’t matter, like the name of his best friend from high school or how he likes his steak cooked.
It comes from a place of insecurity, that somehow the truth isn’t right or good enough, but it’s weird.

Snoring.
Mess.
Irritability.
But worst of all - and totally not his fault - is his terrible morning reflux. Huge coughs, sometimes vomiting...ugh. Yes, he's on medication for it. But I schedule Zoom meetings for post-930 to ensure my coworkers don't have to hear my husband vomiting in the next room.

Isn't smelly farts and poop just from eating too much overall, too much meat, and way too much sugar? Clean up your diet and you clean up your shit.

In social settings, like dinner parties, she speaks in click bait. A group will be having a conversation and suddenly she'll interject something unrelated, vaguely controversial, and opaque. Then everyone has to ask her what she's talking about, and then she gets to hold the floor while she fills in the story.

My husband does this too. I finally sat him down and told him that we have lived in this house for three years, and he should know where everyday objects like kitchen towels and saucepans are kept.

When we are eating with others he talks to everyone with his mouth full and you can see the food and I DIE inside about it. Otherwise, he is a dream.

- Takes an hour to poop or avoids us while pretending to poop then complains that his legs fell asleep on the toilet
- laughs and talks so so so loud.
- wears this one pair of carpenter oversized jeans from 1992
- his mother
- his inability to understand that all the things that makes him avoid his mother are the same reasons I don’t want to spend time with her
- his use of the word “ballsack”
- his inability to use coasters

Overall, he is great though

Blows his nose extremely loudly in an elephant-like manner. He has allergies, so on his bad days, it's VERY irritating to hear this every few minutes.

Goes off on monologues for 10+ minutes on random obscure topics. I tend to zone out at minute 3. I've told him about this and asked him to be cognizant about making it a dialogue, but he insists that he is just passionate about things and doesn't realize he's doing it.

Wears the same pants for days, sometimes even a week on end until I have to literally beg him to put them in the laundry.

Sometimes does not listen well/zones out. I'll say something about a topic, and 3 minutes later he'll make the same remark like I haven't just said it.

But he's a great guy otherwise so I love him anyway.

She's a martyr and won't take time for herself and then complains she's worn out.

Also, has become asexual but that's more marriage ending than annoying

The mansplaining! When he's finished going on and on, I just roll my eyes and say, "Are you serious?" We usually laugh about it but it drives me crazy!

For DH:

- Leaves his socks in weird places

- Leaves empty coffee cups in his office

- Somehow his fly is always down (luckily this is an issue only at home)

- Snores SO loudly. I have to wear earplugs to bed and even then it wakes me up sometimes.

I love him, though.
