he does this and it bugs me...

I hear from other wives and read all over the internet complaints from wives/girlfriends that "my guy does this and it makes me crazy!!". Be it leaving dirty balled up socks near-but-not-in the hamper to leaving the lid only 1/2 way on the jar of olives in the fridge to loading the dishwasher "wrong"-- women are just irritated at the quirks of their honeys.>>>>>>>I'm a freak.>>>>>>>See, i love finding the occasional silly, irritatiing thing that Hubster does. I do sososo many things that are crazy and he tolerated _so many_ of my faults and short-comings. Does he use both hooks for his towel so that i have no place to hang my towel? Yes. Does he have to have a specific spoon for his yogurt or bananas-and-sour-cream? Yes. Does he rearrange my spices (alphabetically! not by use frequency!), move canned goods to more sensible order,sweep the kitchen (with big sighs) when i am chopping veg (and get sprinkles on the floor)? Yes. Does he listen to his podcasts and then get frustrated when i forget and try to talk to him over the AirPods? Yes. But.....that's NOTHING compared to how annoying it is for him to live with me.>>>>>>>I eat...poorly. I'm really a pain the butt.>>>>>>>I get "mess" on the handles of cutlery, the handle to the fridge, the edge of a bowl-- while cooking, which makes his skin crawl to touch.>>>>>>>I have to eat at certain times and get "hangry" if it don't. He can literally eat anywhere, anytime (or not at all), and anything. Me? Not so much.>>>>>>>I get up unGodly early every morning and make too much noise (any noise at 0330 is too much noise, right?).>>>>>>>I am "too cold" at insanely warm temperatures so much so that we didn't move to his preferred location for retirement b/c Copenhagen would be too cold. Even Spain in early September was overly chilly for me.>>>>>>>He loves to play board games and i am not a worthy opponent. I have lost the last 20 games by more than 20%. This cannot be fun for him. I'm not a challenge.>>>>>>>And yet, he stays and doesn't complain that i'm "harshing his groove". He tolerates sosososo much more than it is fair to ask of anyone...and has for more than thirty (30!!) years.>>>>>>>So, yes, i'm excited when he has some quirk that seems silly and odd. It doesn't even the playing field but it's a step.
