What do you do that you don't understand how your SO can tolerate?

Leaving the house's doors and windows unlocked, and the purse in the car (assumingly in a visible spot)?

There's nothing cavalier about stupidity.

 

Phi Eyed: What's wrong with securing doors, and keeping prying eyes off of your private life? Now having a spare handgun within easy reach of every seat in the house is probably overboard, but simple precautions are enough to keep some trouble away.

Leaving doors open is a sure way to invite bugs and other stuff into your house too. Living in the south, as I do, some of those things include snakes... and raccoons

 

Back to original thoughts of thread:

Text about poop on a regular basis. He joins in, though. I must be endearing as shit. (pun intended.)

 

To me, that all depends on where you live. Where I live in the city, I would never leave my doors unlocked or my purse in my car.

But, there are small rural towns in my part of the country that I would leave my purse in my locked car and the doors unlocked. Then again, in this part of the country, people watch out for each other a little better than in the cities and larger towns.

 

You would get along well with my mom and brother. He's always letting me know when the kids need dropped off at the pool. In person when I happen to be around, not via text.

Mom was texting me the other day from the bathroom. I don't care that people are doing it, but plz don't tell me about it. TMI mom!!!

 

I keep nagging my wife to try and get some sleep and take care of herself. I'm sure that gets on her nerves to no end.

 

I'm imperfect. He couldn't stand that.

 

Mine has never told me what I do that annoys him. Although if I were married to ME the list would be very very long.

 

(From the mouth of a felon) door locks don't really do much to deter someone who is determined. or messed up. or bored.

 

He's never told me, but since im human, I imagine a few things...

 

Guys, guys ... Seriously. Your SO ALREADY tolerates these quirks of yours. What I want to know is What you do very frequently and He/She puts up with without as much as a peep. Like, what are your flaws that your significant other does not complain about and this makes you love them even more.

Does that help?????

 

Gotcha. My insistence on wearing only mismatched socks. My "I'll make dinner" then not. My incessant complaints about my day. I complain more than any human should.

 

By jove, I must be unbearable.

The one I identify with most is the gas. I don't even consider it a thing nowadays but I remember the reaction of horror I received a long time ago when I let go of some gas in the tub during some romantic candlelit bathtime about three or so weeks into a past relationship. It couldn't wait. And I start as I mean to go on. I have a lot of gas so there's no use in being precious about it. He got over it, I think.

The main issue with my husband now is my untidiness which includes the aforementioned sinkful of dishes and other issues like dumping used clothes on the floor, right next to the laundry basket.

Edit: Apologies, I now follow the point of the thread. Well, my gas has to be issue #1. Nobody truly likes the farts of other people, right? I'm personally laid back about it if you want to tear it up, but I'm not going to appreciate the scent. I assume it's the same with my husband.

 

I'm with Lish on the whole dishes thing, except I hate cutting the grass too. Just cause we live on a busy corner, and our front lawn is raised up about 6 feet above the level of the intersection. We call it "The Stage."

 

I'm really disorganized in the way I store things....I'm a stacker.
I forget to out things away, too. It dries him insane.
I also have half conversations out loud, and the other half in my head so the other person can't figure out what I'm taking about.... Of course, he does this too, so we're a little nutty.

 

Ok gotcha.

Flaws.

Well I am ridiculously stubborn. Once I get it in my mind there is no erasing it. My way or the highway kinda thing.

When we have an argument I don't want to "fix" it right then. Instead I want solitude to fix it in my head first. I need to go over what is happening and see for myself how to deal with it before I can fix it with him. He on the other hand wants to immediately discuss things and lay them to rest.

 

I ooze sexiness.

Ok, ok. Less obvious things?

I flip at clutter being left around. I grew up with a semi-hoarder so I have a deep rooted hatred for shit not being where it should be and stupid excessive shit being brought into the house. It's worse in the cars. If you put it in the car then take it out when you get home. I swear she thinks it's funny or 'cute' and does it on purpose. Does she complain? Not a bit, after all, she knows I'll just pick it up anyway. heh.

 

Glory's Sun I have a huge distaste for clutter as well. If the house/car is cluttered I feel like my brain cannot work.

 

I would drive Glory's Sun insane. And not on purpose.
I'm a forgetter. And a piler.
I have stacks of papers and books on and around my desk for projects
I'm working on for school and work.
Right now, it's actually driving ME crazy, too.

 

noodle - we both know you'd do it on purpose just for the enjoyment of watching mah head asplode.

Paper is the thing I despise most. Seriously, with tablets, smart phones and laptops, there's no reason to have stacks upon stacks of paper lying around. Why the hell are you buying planners when you have all of these things? Grrr.
