I feel less alone, mine is a combo of many of the PPs husbands. To wit:
--illness. If I come home and say that I have a fever and terrible headache, his first reaction is "oh god, I'm going to get sick, come to think of it, I feel weird." This culminated recently when both DS and I had the stomach flu and were violently ill at the same time and DH (who never got it) asked me if I could stay up with DS all night to help him puke since he was "feeling like he was coming down with something." Meanwhile it was coming out of me every which way and I had a 102 fever. --change and socks. They are EVERYWHERE except the hamper and the 'change bowl' on his dresser. In fact, he empties everything out everywhere, except when its important and the he leaves it in his jeans and it gets washed. --due to the above, every morning is a ritual of "where's my...". I have given up suggesting or creating specific places for specific things when he arrives at home. --after I cook dinner he will do 83 % of the dishes/cleanup. He will put most things in the DW, but not everything and will leave one or two things on the counter that need to go in the frig and will never wipe down the counters, or will wipe one not the other. So after he 'cleans up' i have to do it. --he loads the dishwasher in a half assed way--he puts EVERYTHING on top (because its too hard to bend down?) so I go to do more dishes and there is no room up top for glasses because it is full of bowls and plates, but the bottom is empty.So I have to reload the dishwasher. --he opens things but doesn't close them. Cabinets, shower door, boxes of crackers, you name it. I once came home to the frig flung wide open. He had opened it and walked away. --he sends me lots of articles and news items during the day and then acts hurt if I don't read them. Hello, some of us actually work at work!! But the best is the same day that he's sent me 5 or 6 news items, he tells me it was a 'crazy day' at work. yeahhhh. --he is obsessed with growing our 2 year old daughter's hair out, even though she will not allow a clip to remain in it and it is fine, straight as a pink and falls into her eyes. He thinks I finally cut bangs because I am projecting my own 'Hair issues' onto my toddler. and yet, i love him and probably do some (not as many!) irritating things too. Like, never fully close a bottle so when he picks it up, the cap comes flying off. Like, insist on saving every scrap of food, which then rots in our frig. Like, decide every couple weeks that I must take every single thing out of my bag/jewelry drawer/closet/etc and put it on the bed and do a big sort. At 2 am. |

He's silver around the ears. He annoys the fuck out of me, but he's MY annoying fuck and I need him and love him deeply.
We're growing silver together in our own dysfunctional way.

Like PPs:
--lazy dishwasher loading -- I took over this chore --cabinets/drawers open and lights on Unlike PPs: --likes being barefoot, even to point of sometimes DRIVING barefoot, which I find gross --hates Costco so I always end up going |

| My wife will not put the top back on anything, or rather she does not screw the top on to things. |

Really? Most men have that complaint about women, esp. re : leaving the house. |

My husband is a crazy insomniac. That's a pain for him and I feel sorry for him. However, he has to TALK about it. Every morning he asks how I slept and then wants to talk about how he slept. It's the most boring topic on the fucking planet.
To top it off, he's wrong. He doesn't realize when he actually falls asleep and often feels like he got less sleep than he did. He wakes me up with his tossing and turning and I'm laying there when he starts snoring so I KNOW that he falls back asleep frequently, even if he doesn't know that he fell asleep again. He doesn't believe me if I tell him that he's wrong. So I have to listen to him bitch about not sleeping and not tell him he's wrong about not sleeping. When my MIL is here, she does the same thing. They can talk about sleep for an hour. Every day. And he won't see a doctor or get a CPAP. |

DH doesn't like tickling. Nobody does, really. But he's got a real aversion to playful tickling.
The entire family shows no mercy nevertheless. We enjoy poking his Achilles heel. We're a sadistic bunch. It's actually all in good fun. |

Okay, he's "running late" every single morning and needs some favor from me to help him out - the truth is public transportation stresses him out- I thought he'd get over it but he's been commuting this way for 3 yrs.
He leaves his disposable contact lenses wherever when he takes them out. They are crumpled little shards by the time I find them. He notices every crumb, drip and mess in progress and offers running commentary finished with "are you going to wipe that up?" The worst part is that now I notice every one now too. Our poor kids!!! |

He will die early. Seriously, getting a good night's sleep is on par with eating well and exercising in terms of promoting longevity. |
