What are the 2 most annoying things about your OH and the 2 most endea
      #206170 - 27/09/2008 23:55

Today is one of those days when I wonder why I bothered - do you know the ones?
The most annoying 2 things about my OH are that I think he is domestically terminally lazy (although I accept of course that this might just be my perception) and that the slightest inconvenience especially if it involves the slightest signs of minor illness are treated like a life changing crisis.
2 endearing things I can't think of right now so I may have to come back to you on that one. I am sure they will come back to me after a nights sleep and a sunny morning.
Come on girls please let me know I am not alone in having the only non perfect OH

Annoying: snores and leaves the loo seat up!

Endearing: generous and kind.

But some days I can't bear the sight of him, so I know what you mean!

Annoying - doesn't automatically replace the toilet roll and snores when he has too much to drink

Endearing - Always, always goes the extra mile to make me happy and still thinks I look the same as when we met (I was 16 years old then!!)

Annoying

1. Goes outside in the garden in the rain in his slippers
2. Drinking makes him childish in the extreme

Endearing

2. Another big softie - eyes water very easily at anything sad

Endearing:
1) Beautiful Scottish accent...4 yrs on I could still listen to him read the phone book!
2)His love for me, and the way he knows how to love.

Irritating:
1) Sometimes you can't get a word in when he's off on a subject..tells you too much detail!
2) He gives the dog complicated explanations and expects him to understand! I am always saying that the dog only understands about five instructions!

Doesn't annoy really because I have accepted him for the way he is.

He never raises his voice, even to the children, and I get tea in bed every morning too.

Annoying -
Snores after too much red wine
Can be intolerant of others faults( presumably because he thinks he has none himself )

Endearing -
Loves me for who I am
Is kind, generous and makes me laugh.

thank you ladies you have made me feel better. I have just remember my OH too has a couple of good points though feeling rather grudging about acknowledging them right now
He never leaves the loo seat up
I often get breakfast in bed
when I was ill for a few months he put his heart and soul into caring for me
he is brilliant at laughing at himself and with me
Gosh suddenly he has got lots of good points how alarming!! or should I say how lucky I am really? hmm need to think about that one and melt a little more

2 most annoying
He blows his nose really loudly-you can hear it miles away!!
He's cleverer than me(so wins any arguments).

2 most endearing

He brings me a cup of tea and the paper in bed every morning.
He is very kind hearted and always sees the best in people

We have been married umpteen years and recently he has had some health worries and that really makes you think and treasure what you have,even the annoying things !!

He has hundreds of annoying habits (of course I have none) but compared to my ex, none of them matter.

Endearing - he's just him. Big hunky chunky

Yep snoring is the biggest gripe here too
Sneezes so loudly too

Good points too numerous, but is my rock, big, brave, chunky, and a big softy too.

Knowing I generally only have to ask for something, does tend to make me ask for little ... good psychology on his part!
