I can't stand for him to ask stupid questions, like 'where is that ice cream you bought today'? I answer 'it's in the oven'. Since he is a native Texan and I'm originally from Pennsylvania, he tells me 'you have a smart Yankee mouth'. I tell him 'maybe so, but I know where the ice cream is'.

my answers are a tad different-I say, what does it look like I'm doing? Then I ask why he asked when he so clearly sees that I am sitting at my machine, sewing blue and yellow pieces together... as DD would say, DUH
and my husband's "nickname" for me? WAB (aka wise-a@@ b@@) I can't say he is wrong....
:-P

this is so true..
Man reads that women say twice as many words per day as men.
He tells this to his wife.
She says "Of course women say twice as much as men because men don't listen so women have to repeat everything."
He replies "What?"

Was a widow for 10 yrs, then someone I had known from early years (age 13). Came & asked me to start over with him (sounds good, every time I looked at him he looked like Dustin Hoffman). Now 5 years have gone by, and I would like a chain saw. I didn't count on him wanting to be a BFF with his EX. He drops everything to help her (and she calls all the time). Each time he goes to help his BFF, I go shopping!!!! And then I spend the next few days SEWING, SEWING, SEWING & SEWING. When ever he asks what the idea behind a quilt was, I remind him of what ever the project was he had to help his BFF with. He is starting to say NO!, some times

I think he just does a lot of things because he knows it'll get me frustrated. ... 43 years and he's still alive! What am I doing wrong?
:wink:

I just keep reminding myself that they are all little things though...not worth fighting about. Save your strength for the big stuff. God Bless him - he is usually very sweet.

Here's another one....
How many times have you been asked a question you don't know the answer to and have replyed " I don't know."
only to have the come back question be...."What do you mean?" (My answer to that one? What part of 'I .... don't....know' do you not understand?
(I promise...last one....too funny!)

My husband of 51 years does nearly all these things already mentioned, but there are two things which bug me most. He takes very large bites of food and finishes a meal in less than 5 minutes. The other thing is that he gets out his large pocket knife (about 4 to 5" long) and gives himself a manicure during church. He uses the largest blade to trim his cuticles, push them back and trim where ever needed. People around stare and I'm embarrassed. But he's a good man and I want to keep him as long as possible.
