<p>I know what you mean but its a small price to pay for their love.</p>
<p>I often tell my husband I guess I’ll keep him after all the time I spent with the training and all. 
Last year, at a surprise birthday party I threw for him, he made this big speech about me being his rock, etc. When I remind him of that, he tells me he had probably had too much to drink. He couldn’t live without me … nor I without him.</p>
<p>Of course we love them, ooddlles, and if thsi stuff is the worst of it, we are all lucky!!</p>
<p>and men, we KNOW we do stuff to bug you, I will remember when I stop laughing at DHs same joke about the dog and the postman, i swear I have heard it 4000 times, but he can’t get through it without laughing, so i am really laugh AT him, not with him…</p>
<p>Lol I was just wondering, this is all wives complaining over husbands . . where are the men here in all of this, haha . . . I bet they think that women nag too much :p</p>
<ol>
<li><p>My husband believes that all horizontal surfaces should be completely clear at all times. I have no cannisters on my kitchen counters, and had to fight for a fruit bowl. </p></li>
<li><p>He is completely incapable of feeling guilt. In 25 years of marriage, I have not figured out how to manipulate him.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>We men are just smarter. If you think I’m stupid enough to put anything like this down in writing with even an iota of a chance of it being seen by the Boss . . . :)</p>
<p>*My husband has only one flaw (that bugs me, I mean, I know he has others): he answers his cell phone at the movies. </p>
<p>(What do I win?)*</p>
<p>That may be an executable offense ( that or he will be forced to watch sylvester stallones new movie)
( oh did you see sean penn was @ reed yesterday?
funny- he must have fit right in with his chain smoking)</p>
<p>EK4–the thing is, he’ll probably go to see Stallone’s new movie anyway. He likes that kind of movie. </p>
<p>Not everyone at Reed smokes.</p>
<p>
<em>lol</em> OD!!! Y’all should have known to stay outta here!!! (Although dh is fully aware of my complaints ;))</p>
<p>~b.</p>
<p>Oh I know- in fact I never really noticed it- until it started raining and they huddled in one place-
I think that college age kids just smoke more- but I haven’t noticed Reedies smoking anymore than they did when I was in junior high.</p>
<p>One of the kids commented on how much he( Penn) was smoking though- I didn’ t really know he smoked- when people smoke in movies ( like in Good night and good luck) I just assume it is for the role- but when I saw a interview on teh DVD for “Lost in La Mancha” with Johnny Depp- I was surprised by how much he smoked- perhaps TheDad should have a word</p>
<p>Speaking of movies and husbands- mine doesn’t like to go to movies- cause it makes his back hurt but he will go with me to rent one- I will pick something he likes- but then he wont watch it with me cause he either has to tinker in the basement till I give up or we watch it in bed and he goes to sleep.</p>
<p>he is also the opposite of a tech geek- he hates computers- as noted he doesn’t use his cell phone- would never carry a palm pilot although he looks at my ipod- and did I mention he hates computers?
However he will ask me to look something up for him and he will read over my shoulder- but I think he is afraid of it.</p>
<p>But then I am reminded by something David Horseys wife told me ( and this was 20 years ago) that he had to go out and get the latest technological gadget, whether he needed it or not or even knew what it was for. Its kinda nice having someone with low tech needs- ( it leaves more money for my high tech ones! )</p>
<p>
So I see. . you guys are smarter, yet the women still have the control? haha :)</p>
<p>
LOL 
</p>
<p>This is a funny thread! Dangerous, but funny! 
Alright, here’s mine:</p>
<p>DH apparently lacks the ability to raise his leg high enough to get into bed without bashing into the side of the mattress with his knee! It’s the same thing every night! </p>
<p>I’m in bed channel-surfing between, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, a TLC special on horrible facial deformities, and Sex In the City reruns --basically, trying to induce myself into a catatonic state. He comes in, brushes his teeth, and hurls his lower extremities toward the bed. </p>
<p>He could: </p>
<p>a.) Slow down and actually aim for the TOP of the mattress;
b.) Try lifting his leg 2 inches higher;
c.) Buy a doggie stair and use it to scale the extreme height of our mattress;
d.) Chop off the leg that he uses to propel his a** into bed every night;
e.) Hang upside down in ankle clamps until his legs stretch.</p>
<p>I suggested getting one of these new platform beds, the ones that are so low that even little guys like Verne Troyer (a.k.a. Mini Me) would have no problem going to bed like a civilized human being. But, NOooooo! Apparently, he does not mind dislocating his kneecap every night. :D</p>
<p>Hey, our Hs know this stuff already…it is what we find “endearing” about them</p>
<p>He told me that he finds it annoying that I snore and deny it…</p>
<p>And that I wear my sunglasses in the house (i forget they are there)…I tell him its cool</p>
<p>berurah~your DH isn’t good in the kitchen, either!? <em>lol</em>–we really are alike!!! but at least your DH makes working out a priority–which could be a really great thing in the long run. Mine would just like to, but never seems to have time during the week–he’s a weekend workout guy!!</p>
<p>Guys, we know you have lots of complaints about our most endearing qualities, but you know an overall good thing when you’ve got it!!!</p>
<p>And we know we’ve got a great thing, too!!!</p>
<p>my boyfriend snores so loud you can probably hear him in the room next door. i always wake him up, tell him to stop snoring, and just hope that i fall asleep before he does… cause i sure won’t fall back asleep if he’s snoring already:)</p>
<p>and to this day, he still denies that he snores. I don’t know if he really thinks he doesn’t snore, or if he just denies it to get under my skin… hmmm…</p>
<p>the other thing that is funny is that when we first started dating, six years ago, he was always picking up after me. cleaning up my floor, trying to get me organized, and now it’s completely reversed. i’m constantly cleaning up his place and asking him how he can live like that :)</p>
<p>tape him and play it back to him…not that it will stop him from snoring, but at least you will say, told you so, which, when you are tired from being kept awake by a lawn mower or jack hammer, feels good, snotty, but good</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>irish~</p>
<p>You should see it when he <em>tries</em> to cook, which fortunately isn’t often <em>lol</em>!!! What a MESS!!! He does do dishes, though, especially in the winter when my hands are very susceptible to the dry heat, so that is pretty endearing…;)</p>
<p>~b.</p>
<p>My H drives me crazy when he says “often” of-Ten. I can’t stand it.</p>
<p>If he and I are in the same room and he is watching tv but I am reading, when he leaves the room, he leaves the TV on. Why???</p>
<p>Other than that he’s pretty good to have around.</p>
<p>That’s why there is no ‘Husband Swap’ reality show, because it would be sooooo boring. All the husbands are clueless, would not be able to bring about change since they have NO idea how it’s done in their own home, and would probably not hear most of what was being said to them!!</p>
