I take the reading material away from my husband if I am at the table with him. I just pick it up, close it, and put it somewhere else.

I AM RIGHT HERE! WE ARE EATING A MEAL! TALK TO ME!



He says "Can't talk. Eating."

DH is constantly having explosive bowel movements and spends most of his day in the loo. We often get sick because of his germs left behind, thought I scrub the toilets every day to try to prevent it. He mentions everyday (like a child) that his "belly is upset", but refuses to eat right (a left over from his family with food issues).

He does not pick up after himself; and refuses to pitch in for "women's work" (anything) around the house. But he LOVES making a mess, and leaving piles of stuff everywhere. His favorite is covering any blank space (countertops, tables, et al) with piles - his "contribution" to the household.

Vacations are a time for him to act out his hostility the most, just like his birth family. If I am enjoying something, he sees it as his personal mission to make it not so; often ending in an eruption of his being "tired" (fill in the blank with whine, anger and hostility here).

His unmet needs by his parents and siblings are just the start of it.

No one in our neighborhood (he has no friends) would have any idea that he is a terror to live with, prone to emotional meltdowns, triangulating against me (for his reasonings that don't exist - gas lighting) and scaring the children regularly. They would think he is the nicest, smartest guy they have ever met.

In fact, he is an angry, inconsiderate cad all around. Glad you asked, OP?




That sucks - will it make you feel better if you knew mine is very similar? And he is also grose (burps, farts, clearing throat and spitting) and then gets amd at me when I complain. And I learned to not say antyhig and he still gets mad because he knows what I'm thinking.

he makes constant sexual innuendoes. Like all the time. Like 5 minutes after I've had a c-section.


We are married to the same guy. does he fart and burp all the time and then give you the snake eye after you comment on how grose he is?

But it was quite stressful at the beginning.

- one thing that cracks me up, is whenever he is cooking chicken, he clucks. He is alone in the kitchen, and I can hear his clucks from the living room. I'm not making. This up.

He could waste his life away watching YouTube on his phone. When he wakes up, when he is going to bed, on the toilet, constantly! What crap is worth watching?

He sits to pee and still ends up with a drop on the seat. I hate hate hate asking him to wipe this up day after day.

He kisses me constantly. This is mostly cute but sometimes he needs to stop and walk the damn dogs.

He would say I swallow really loudly.

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.





He will die early.

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


He needs a CPAP, but he won't get one. He won't talk to a doctor. I've tried.

This is something my father-in-law does and it makes me wonder how my mother-in-law has not killed him. They were visiting this past weekend, and after taking a nap, he walls into the kitchen and says, "did I miss lunch, hint, hint." He will come down stairs in the morning and say, "I thought I smelled coffee, hint, hint." He never asks for anything directly. Other variations include asking for permission, instead of asking for something, as in "am I allowed to have another piece of chicken," and the observational comment, as in "boy, that cake looks really great," to solicit the question do you want a piece.

It is clear to everyone that he his telling his wife to serve him, so why won't he just say, make me lunch.

I've left sticky notes, papers, drawn around it. I wish I didn't have to force him to clean it. The nagging him has escalated to full on screaming matches.


I'm so glad I'm not suffering alone with this. Men should have a separate bathroom that contains nothing but a 10-foot wide toilet.


Mine 2. Ageed with the bolded part!


We already do, it's called the shower

My husband calls me at work and then goes, "what do you need? What's up?" And I'll be like, you called me. And often he's baffled.

He can't stand eating sounds...it is truly an obsession. I have to go into another room to eat anything that is crunchy, like potato chips. (And believe me I chew quietly with my mouth closed.) It's so weird.

Yes! One that they have to clean themselves...because they'll still miss.
