Does he wear them in bed as well? Because I would be tempted to peek when he slept.

Yep; 24/7. I'm pretty sure it is a scary situation in there.

Check for Athlete's foot. He may actually be suffering needlessly.

Ok, that is probably the only weird and gross thing he does...other than that he is very sweet. SO - I don't say anything to him now.

Why doesn't he wash his own mug with disgusting paper inserts?

Because in my household we are not keeping scores. Whosoever has the time will do the dishes.

OK - This is not the answer you want to hear - so ....just to make you happy -

I am a SAHM, I am totally dependent on him. He has affairs and also hits me periodically. I do everything around the house. He is verbally, emotionally abusive. I also suffer from a bad haircut, poor sense of style and other debilitating issues. And he ALWAYS makes me wash his mug which is stuck with paper bits.

Your life is so much better than mine. I am a poor, pathetic doormat.

Except...he doesn't.

I guess he wants to hear my voice?

When I get tired of babbling I try to get off the phone, and he acts like his feelings are hurt, lol

+1. Why do they do that? Or while commuting to work or home? I think it is cute, but then he does not really want to talk once he is home.

Mine does that too sometimes, but never has a problem telling me I talk a lot.
LOL!

Actually, have you seen how quickly these things turn into a husband bashing frenzy or doormat wife accusations on this forum?

I really like my DH, he is not only a great husband but a genuinely nice human being with a great heart. I can indulge in some "husband tales" but not male bashing because 1/2 my favorite persons in the world are male.

For what I wrote, I expected an "eeeww" or a LOL emoticon reaction, not why he was not washing the dishes.

So offense in this case is the best form of defense. Bite me!

Husband, here.

I read this (1) because I expected it to be funny (and it is), and (2) just to check and see what's on the list that drives wives crazy so that if I'm doing them I can try to modify my habits. Nothing I've seen rises to the level of what I'd call husband bashing (although I might be somewhat inured after a long time reading DCUM).

That aside, I don't understand the shoes in the house thing. My preference is to be barefoot. I spend as much time without shoes on as possible - inside or out.

As far as things I do that drive DW crazy, she's always shocked/embarrassed at the idea that I would poop when we're at a restaurant or out somewhere else or even someone else's house (yes, I do use the bathroom). Personally, my feeling is that when ya gotta go...

He leaves dirty dishes and cups beside the kitchen sink. Instead of IN the kitchen sink (and yes, even when the sink is empty).

If there were dirty dishes in the sink, and he needed to use the sink, DH would move the dirty dishes OUT of the sink, pile them up next to the sink, and do what he needed to do. Then leave the dishes where he had placed them

He replaced all the overhead lights with ceiling fans. When you walked into the room you could turn on the fan but not the light. So you'd be stumbling around in a windy room trying to find the table lamp.

DH goes outside to take the trash out AND DOESN'T CLOSE THE BACK DOOR WHEN IT IS 7ºF AND THE DOG FOLLOWS HIM OUT AND THROUGH THE GARAGE AND INTO THE ALLEY AND THE DOG COULD RUN AWAY SO I HAVE TO COME OUT IN MY NIGHTGOWN AND CALL THE DOG BACK BECAUSE THE DOG DOESN'T LISTEN TO HIM

Maybe it makes sense to leave the dog outside but keep waiting for him to come back (he is smart enogh to find his way back, right?), and let him in after 5 mins of wailing.
I think it is the dog whi is irritating and needs training, nit DH.

He wears them for sex too?

My H sleeps in n sat mornings while I take care of DS. When we come back from our morning walk (often combined with an errand) he "jokingly" asks "so, where's my breakfast?"
Drives me bonkers.
