I do understand.
Though this may be annoying
it brings him comfort

(translation: I get that it annoys you, but I think it is a comfort thing.)

I’m a physician and my patients do this. I think it’s because they’re anxious or uncomfortable telling the story. I get that but it drives me bonkers. The hospital functions at a low roar at all times and I can’t hear a thing people are saying.

Anxiety or autism. It’s a tic

It’s some sort of anxiety or stimming.


I think this is it. Friend’s kid would chew on his shirt button and come home with soaked shirts. Turned out to be school anxiety from undiagnosed dyslexia.

Get them some bandannas. They can get the same effect by putting a bandana around their lower face and not stretch the neck of the tshirts. Plus they get to relive childhood like they're playing Cowboys and [Native Americans]

PP, this is one of the most enlightening posts I have read on DCUM. So many people come here to complain about trivial things their spouses do.

Instead, your post reflects the love he shows you.


He really does. My dog loves me the most, my husband and mom next - and that's despite me being a total PIA to both of them. (I treat the dog like a king.)

My husband gets it back. He certainly has plenty of stuff I could divorce him over. It really goes both ways. In fact I've been on here complaining about some of them, like when I feel like I can't take his bathroom being a crime scene one more time.

I think often the petty things aren't really petty. They're things that are truly annoying - and sometimes you just aren't in the mood - and they are also the things you end up focusing on when the rest of the relationship is just gone. It's not that the stray sock on the floor is really what you're going to leave them over, but you see that sock and realize you can't take one more day of putting up with that person.
