[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. My DH plays too much. He makes a joke out of everything. It's frustrating. Sometimes I just want a nice compliment like "you look nice today honey" instead of a joke. It would be fine if it wasn't constant, but I do think he does it sometimes to cover up insecurities/awkwardness (i.e. he's not comfortable giving me a nice compliment so he makes it a joke (even though he really does mean what he says...he just says it in a joking manner)).

2. He is very rigid/controlling - needs things in a certain order, needs to plan ahead, very orderly, needs to know everything that's happening and ahead of time. I don't function that way, so it is hard to meet that need all the time. Things can be as small as making DD change her skirt because she wore it 3 days ago to getting mad when the house isn't perfectly clean 24/7 (we have 3 kids).

3. Curses a lot. Like a lot. And in front of the kids. I can't stand it. [/quote]

You may want to remind your husband that women are capable of a lot more important things than keeping a house clean.  Especially for your daughter's sake.  He's already teaching her that her "fashion" choices are important - what's he teaching her about her true worth?

You have bigger problems with your DH than annoying traits, I'm afraid. [/quote]

PP here. The issue with him is cleanliness. It’s not that women should only be caretakers, clean the house, and look good. I run businesses and he supports me in that. Our daughter watches that.  He has an obsession with cleanliness. I’ll admit, he does laundry and his fair share of cleaning around the house. It’s just he gets so ruffled when it’s not 100% spotless. The issue with DDs skirt is that he thinks it’s unclean to wear things back to back, even if it’s technically washed. Idc if we call it an annoying trait or a mental disorder like OCD, it annoys tf out of me. [/quote]
