Stupid things your SO does

The one that makes me want to drive my head into a wall-- When we're going somewhere like out for drinks or something and takes upwards of 2 hours to get ready while I'm sitting around waiting, visibly irritated and she finally comes out of the room and has the nerve to say, "Are you ready?" like I haven't been fucking sitting around for an hour and a half waiting for you
Don't get me started.

Mine is a master procrastinator. Despite me always being very aware of the time, and being more than willing to let her know what that time is and why it's significant, she will bullshit around for HOURS before we're supposed to go out to do something. I could have been ready 40 minutes ago, but as soon as she decides that it's time to get moving, all of a sudden everyone isn't moving fast enough and she starts getting annoyed and huffy because I'm never shy about reminding her that she should have gotten moving a while ago.
 
Threads like this is why I come back to sherdog.
 
The biggest issue I have with mine is that she doesn't really want to do anything ever, but she'll suggest things she knows I want and pretend she enjoys them too. This would be all well and good except before long she starts to get bored or irritated with what we're doing and looks to me like it was my idea or that I owe her something for her putting up with activities I enjoy.

She's also sex crazy, which is less fun than I imagined it would be.

TBF I was probably guilty of both of these things to a lesser degree when I was with my ex, so maybe this is some cosmic karma or something.
 
One of my ex's had a bad habit of talking to other people while we were on the phone. She would go into full-blown conversations with her sisters or her other friends while still holding the receiver and I'm just there being quiet. Sometimes she'd snap out of it and say something "I'm sorry, I'm horrible!" before going right back to her other conversation. What got me was that I blocked off time and got things done so I could focus on talking to her and she rarely did the same.

Another ex hated when people disagreed with her, and as such all her Facebook friends were suck-ups and yes-men/women. I'm opinionated and freely disagree with people but she made it seem like the end of the world. Near the end she would complain about how far apart we lived but she had no problem coming out to my side of town to hang out with her friends. She also pulled the "There are lots of things you do that I don't like but I keep quiet!" card during an argument as a way to silence my complaints about her.
 
I think the thing that pisses me off the most is placing cups on the bottom rack. Hey dummy how are things on top supposed to clean when you've blocked the flow of water so that it gets inside the cups?
I know it shouldn't but 'hey dummy' made me seriously LOL....
 
She is so self-absorbed and hopelessly wrapped in her own petty drama that she can't notice or appreciate the small things in life.

For instance. I live right outside of DC in a pretty urbanized area. We were driving and she was totally consumed with some petty drama on her Facebook. She was going on and on about how one of her friends didn't like one her post and what it really means.
When all of a sudden a bald eagle comes flying towards us.
" Honey, look a bald eagle!!"
"... uh-huh" ( continues to jabber about petty drama)
"Honey, look quick!"
..she ignores me and continues with her drama whining
"Honey, quick, you're going to miss it!"
"What??!?! I see it, ugh!!" As she doesn't even bother to look up from her phone.

Now replace eagle with beautiful sunset, interesting architecture, huge megaship, military escort, gorgeous scenery or anything special or unique and she just can't be bothered by anything in the world unless it's directly related to her.
 
The wife and i are celebrating 20 years together this year. We're actually in Maldives right now celebrating.

But she likes coming up with new rules for the kids. They last for about a week and then fade out.

She likes to super commit herself to stuff. It's cool that she volunteers but at some point it just seems like it gets to be too much.

Has always said she wants to be a stay at home mom so that way she could get shit done at home...shopping, cleaning, dinner etc. She teaches so she gets the summers off. But all those things she thinks she wants to get done don't get done. I'll probably die with her though.
 
I’ll do something nice and she’ll say “ oh you want a bj tonight?”
Then doesn’t follow through.

Her best friend comes over around once a week and they drink and bullshit. Her friend is always finding ways to mention how good she is at bj’s and how much she likes doing it.

Next time mine doesn’t follow through and her friend brings that shit up I’m gonna pull it out and stick it in her mouth.


If I stop posting y’all will know I’m dead lol.
 
She automatically questions everything I do, and assumes that it is wrong.

On the plus side, that means she cooks and cleans...
 
ex wife used to love to watch the kardashians, the Bachelorette, VanDerPump Rules, ABC Family shows etc...

which is fine, but don't expect me to watch them and not clown them the entire time.

TBF, I did trick her into watching the same JCVD movie like five times be acting like it was a different movie each time haha
 
Without question and exception.
When my wife starts multiple projects at the house and sees fit to not finish a damn one. Then becomes defensive at the insulation the kids ADD is genetically her doing.
 
More annoying that stupid but this is my contribution:

My ex would take FOREVER to decide where she wanted to go for lunch or dinner, and once I'd finally cave for whatever overpriced and underseasoned fucking restaurant she wanted to go, I'd be starving by the time we got there but then she'd take forever again to decide what she wanted to drink and then another forever to decide what she wanted to eat.
 
We own a laundry basket...

Every week she finds a new corner in the room to just start a pile of clothes ..

Also, when she gets home she kicks off her shoes in the middle of our bedroom doorway..

By the end of the night...

There are like four other fucking shoes just laying in random gawd damn places in the house, and she hasn't even left the fucking couch since she got home!?
 
Always feels the need to talk to me while I'm peeing. Starts the second the pee hits the water and finishes talking when I finish. Obviously I can't hear a word she says over the sound of the pee. Literally every single time I pee and she's nearby.
 
Always preoccupied.
She constantly talks about doing shit. I get a few things done on my own schedule, and then goof off. Meanwhile she's still talking about projects and hasn't done squat.
 
My wife and I have been together for 31 years and it’s mostly great still, but whenever something bothers her she goes cold and looks obviously pissed off, but whenever i ask what’s wrong she says nothing. And she blows her top a few hours later.

My wife used to do that phone bs and I'd just hang up. She'd call me back all pissy but she doesn't do it now.
