Snoring. I can’t really argue with him about it because he’s unconscious and it can’t really be helped, so now I sleep with ear plugs. But at the same time I’ve been begging him for years to go see a sleep specialist because untreated apnea can lead to problems down the line like chronic fatigue (he always says he’s tired) heart problems and high blood pressure. And despite all the annoying snoring, I would like to keep him around until we’re old and wrinkly.

Was in the same situation, so I started sleeping in the spare room. It's worked out surprisingly well, despite what you'd think.

I've managed to restore my sleep and carve out a special "me" space (my main intention was to just be able to rest properly, as I was pretty sleep deprived), my partner has had a sleep apnoea test and is awaiting results, and it's weirdly improved our bond. We value the time we DO spend together much more, and have a big snuggle before bed every night.

Zerojuan01@reddit

This is what I do, when my Mrs is upstairs and shouting... I let her come down... 'I've been shouting for the last 5 minutes did you not hear me?!?'

Perfect strategy. My (now ex) did this constantly and I hated it. Eventually I just gave no acknowledgement or answer until he was close enough that I could hear and respond. He also did it a lot while I was standing next to a boiling kettle or running water knowing full well I couldn’t hear. Or start talking right as I was leaving a room so I would have to turn around and come back.

He also had a slight audio processing delay, so when I spoke to him he almost always would immediately say “what?” He could hear me fine, he just hadn’t processed it yet. So I would start repeating myself, then he would interrupt me by answering the first thing I said because it had just clicked. So then when he said “what?” I would just stare at him until he figured it out to save myself the bother.

It was a great marriage, as you can probably deduce.

Dried her hands or a utensil and then places it on the worktop (or the back of a chair) and I can never find the damn thing. And neither can she, so another one gets taken out the drawer.

Oh no, no no no. The question was for something that’s a bit annoying but doesn’t cause arguments.

We can be together all evening, having finished work at similar times, had dinner together, sat chilling for a couple of hours, and only when I say that I’m off to bed will he decide to start an important decision requiring conversation.

My beloved other half will do the dishes, but he won’t sweep the lounge or the rest of the kitchen for “extras” before running the water. If there’s a mug or dish that wasn’t in the actual sink to start with, it won’t get washed.

Also, socks - he never wears a proper pair. I’ve seen him wear one thick, thermal sock and a thin one on the other foot before now. His reasoning is that they’re a perfectly fine pair, because they were both grey.

If he were to read this, I suspect my annoying habit would be moving his things around. In my mind I’m just tidying up because I hate random gubbins on surfaces that we use regularly, however in his mind, I’m determined to irritate him by being too tidy 😂

LittleSadRufus@reddit

He stacks the dishwasher at random. When I explain all the racks etc have a specific purpose, he insists that's just my personal preference. Even though it's all evident from the manual.

He also puts dishes that can go in the dishwasher into the sink, and fills them with water. He explains he's presoaking them, but all this creates is a filthy mess in the sink that then needs to be transported to the dishwasher and the sink needs to be cleaned up too.

And he puts thermal paper receipts in the recycling bin, even though they're not recyclable

[-]

MadWifeUK@reddit

At least he has found the dishwasher.

And he puts thermal paper receipts in the recycling bin, even though they're not recyclable

TIL. i had a feeling they mightn't be, and generally toss them in general waste as they're a) probably prone to flying away unless bagged (our general waste is bagged, recyclables are loose), b) so lightweight that nothing much could be recovered from them anyway

+1 dishwasher woes. i'm generally the one to load the dishwasher and have figured out e.g. which of our oddly-shaped mugs prefer to be where in order to be cleaned properly, how widely to space the plates, and (this is more personal preference but it also makes sure everything fits) how to organise the cutlery basket. sometimes my partner starts loading before i can get to it and is much more chaotic, so i have to decide between doing some reorganising and getting the thick end of the wedge over undoing their work, or just going along with it and hoping that the temperamental washing machine won't decide that some things need to be put through again.

He puts dirty dishes including used teaspoons on the FUCKING DRAINING BOARD. Which is directly above the dishwasher.

For me it’s asking random questions, expecting me to know the answers. For example: have you seen my screwdriver that I last used 6 months ago in a previous house? And he stands there, looking at me waiting for an answer. Seriously? The saddest part is that I usually know the answer…

Turns lights off as you leave a room, even if you are literally about to go back in there. E.g. cooking the kids tea, you nip to the other room to get something and I come back to all the kitchen lights off. It is maddening.

Or putting damp washing away. He is trying to be helpful but actually the damp smell then goes through all the other clothes...

She starts whole lengthy conversations as I'm one foot in and one foot out of the living room on the way out to do something where she had hours prior to that to strike up the conversation.

Or that she never closes cabinet cupboards in the kitchen properly so I walk around closing them afterwards, whenever the next time is that I go into the kitchen.

She just twists the microwave timer to max no matter what’s in there. Then tries to remember to check the food.

I mean why not just turn it to 5 mins if that’s when you want to check the food?

RaspberryJammm@reddit

Turning stuff off for practical energy saving reasons makes sense. But once something is turned off it won't be drawing energy even if its plugged in and on at the wall.

Doing it because of fear of consequences (telling myself that if I don't then the house will burn down and it'll all be my fault and it'll mean I'm evil or something) is the OCD part.

Depends on if its irrational and how much it would distress you if you were told you had to leave things turned on

chemical-mitch@reddit

Wait when I said it I thought it was normal to turn stuff off I didn’t mean to like downplay your OCD or anything, I meant it in response to the person you replied to. Sorry if it came across like that! :)

Mine likes to start a big in-depth conversation just as I'm putting my running shoes on, knowing that I always run with a friend so she will be standing waiting for me at the end of the close.

"sings" along to the radio. He doesn't seem to know a single word of any song whatsoever so is just kind of, bimbling along?!

Also starts and finishes conversations in his own head and then acts annoyed when I don't have a clue what he's on about. Or, answers a question in his head so when I repeat myself, is annoyed.

Don't get me wrong - the annoyance is just an eye roll! But I'm a saint for putting up with his nonsense tbh.

[-]

Evie_Astrid@reddit

Never wipes down the draining board/ sink and leaves the water to sit, causing limescale build up.

[-]

No_Application_8698@reddit

Not acceptable. We made the mistake of opting for a dark granite worktop when we had our kitchen put in, but we very quickly realised that the draining board would have to be strictly ‘For Display Purposes Only’ due to the excessive limescale build up after literally one use.

That caused a small argument between me and my (normally super chill) partner recently. She kept finding my nail clippings around the house, but I couldn't for the life of me understand why they'd be there. I'm super careful to always throw them in the bin. I literally count them every single time and make sure they all 10 get to the bin.

When I’ve been non stop with housework and cooking and he turns round and says “go and just put on a cup of tea” - “JUST”. As if I’m sat doing nothing all day and he’s doing me a favour by not asking much of me - “JUST” a wee cup of tea.

I make the tea to avoid a fight because then it turns into ME overreacting. ☠️

The other one is that he uses my kitchen shoes (slippers I keep by the kitchen because I only wear them in the kitchen and to nip out to the bins etc) to prop open the baby gate. Which is unnecessary anyway and also means they’re never together as a pair and I’m always tripping over one of them.

I juts leave it there because you always put it up there for me".

The cost hook that I put up, I put up too high for her little self, and she just learned to live with it. I am now completely okay with putting her coat up on the coat hook for her when I see it on the sofa because I understand now.

Wipes crumbs onto the floor with the intention to vacuum them up. Meanwhile he walks around on the crumbs from the worktop while wiping it down. This drags all the crumbs with him so that he has a much larger area that needs vacuumed.

I do things that annoy my partner, so I'm not innocent.

He leaves his empty dishes on the floor next to his computer desk. Sometimes they pile up for days. He does do his share of dish washing though, so it's not a real issue and besides that, he's clean and orderly.

Mine doesn't know where the cupboard is, despite it being there for years. Never once put sheets or towels away.

He will empty out all the bins, grab a new bin bag and just...leave it on the floor beside it
Doesn't rinse down the little hairs leftover after a shower
Leaves all dishes in the sink until the end of the day. It's so packed, I can't fill up my water bottle and no - we don't have a dishwasher. He does not clean as he cooks/waits for something to cook.
Instead of washing and drying a plate to reuse, he will bring out another, and another. One time we had 4 mugs out, 4 bowls, 3 large plates and all 6 spoons, just to make breakfast.

Hands me things when my hands are full. I can’t even moan as it’s usually a drink or a snack or my phone or keys etc - something I need.

Drives me nuts. He just stands there with it too. Until I say to put it down.

My husband used to take all of the foil packs of medication out of the box they came in. The box that has the dosage information. Drove me nuts but once I calmly explained that we need the dosage and expiry date information he stopped doing it.

The only space for our laundry rack is on the landing which means you have to squeeze past it to get to the bathroom. Well he doesn't take his laundry down when it's dry, he leaves it for days - sometimes until I have to do laundry and need the rack myself. It's a little thing but it's visual clutter and an obstacle and so annoying 😆

She always leaves her clothes on the bathroom floor even though the wash basket is right outside the bathroom door,

She will wear my best shirts for bed and if i tell her to take it off then i am being unreasonable.
