Sure, some things my fiancé does annoy me. He apologizes for absolutely nothing all of the time, he leaves tea bags and mugs around, he washes most of the laundry all in one load, and he has some strange need to sleep with the windows open and with 40 blankets. What good does that do though? They're minor things that really don't matter and it would be hypocritical of me to think I don't do anything that annoys him.

There are way more things that I love about him that outweigh the petty crap so I am quite happy and lucky to have him. Although a few weeks ago he was driving my car and it needed oil, so he poured half a quart of oil in the coolant tank. Luckily he caught his mistake before turning the car on. Still not mad though. He tried, but needs to leave the car stuff to me.

I should probably clarify that we have been married for 25 years and our relationship status is akin to two old socks, a bit worn in places but very comfortable and familiar. It does not however stop him doing my head in every now and again and I'm sure I do the same to him.
 
There are certain types of programmes I have to switch off for varying reasons now because it gets the following reactions;

Romantic comedies - "oh that's so sweet, I wish you were more romantic"

Anything involving a wedding - "Why won't you marry me? ANSWER MEEEE YOU [Poor language removed]"

Grand Designs - "Can we move, I really want to move"

DIY SOS - "let's decorate this weekend"

Can also add to that list :

" I've been to IKEA and bought some stuff I thought we needed " - you go in the back room and there's flat pack up to the ceiling.

Followed by " the nice man in the shop said they'd deliver it for free if I took out their finance ".

later on that night - " I'm skint and I'm going out with the girls, do you have any money ? "
 

Also a night out with her mates involves :

Hair - three hours and a hundred quid plus.

Nails - two hours and thirty quid.

New shoes and a dress that have somehow managed to teleport into the house without you noticing - hundred quid plus.

All that to end up bladdered in Smokey Mo's or the Grapes, on Mathew St !
 
What I buy, could be a circular saw or a wheelbarrow, obviously spoiling myself by doing things she wants doing, turns out is a waste of money, not necessary or not going to be used often.

What she buys, could be a cushion cover of a stag, a pretend lamp or countless kitchen gadgets that get used once and then dumped in the 'used once kitchen gadget' cupboard, are all completely necessary, warranted, affordable and not a waste of money at all....

'Tis a dangerous place the female mind...

Mate, there's nothing I like more than being given a massive pile of IKEA furniture to build. They're like Lego for grown ups, means I can lock myself away with some tunes, the kids can't annoy me, utter bliss.
 

Always writing lists of things to do, and then won't show me them. "I'll let you see them later, when you're in a better mood!!

I have always lived by the motto: Never argue with women, drunks & idiots, in that order. With the first, you'll never win, and the other two won't have a clue what you're on about!

Still, I must have got something right - forty two and a half years and counting!!! :D ;)

I'm lucky my missus isn't that type. Actually she wouldn't be my type if she were, cos I genuinely don't find made up, preened women even slightly attractive... I'm not criticising I just don't get how they think a thick layer of coloured chemicals, plastic eye lashes, and painted claws is attractive? I don't even like the smell of the stuff.

It does my head in though, knowing that many women are like this. Particularly the full knowledge that they'll spend 3 or 4 hours obsessing on their looks, but if you spend 30 minutes on a Pc, phone or game it's classed as a waste of time, or you're ignoring them.

Don't get it.
