    His worst habit was trash talking about me to a bunch of strangers on an internet forum.

    *SNAP!* Nice.

    Going from her Laptop to her Ipad to her Iphone...Non stop, Talking about work drama 24/7
    I know this feel.

    That's why some guys ending up seeking out women who don't work. *read, I don't mean "unemployed" I mean choose not to work outside the home as in housewives, sahm, trophywives, domestic goddesses, etc. etc.*

    My husband has a habit of saying he is going to do a certain project (ie household) and never even starts it! That and he watches too much TV (but he can say the same thing about me being on the computer too much).

    Talking. He just should never have done it and then things might have worked out.

    Past: chewed with mouth open, picked nose constantly, scratched crotch so often he once got fired from a job for it... the list could go on and on.

    Current: bites nails. Oh, and he is entirely too good at almost everything. That's not a bad habit, but it's intimidating sometimes.

    My boyfriend forgets...EVERYTHING! Things I just told him two minutes ago. Annoys the crap out of me!

    Oh I have the same problem. I sometimes get the urge to knock him upside the head with what he forgot to do!

    This whole post is so negative. Why wouldn't we want to focus on the best habit of a significant other?

    He is pretty awesome, to be fair. I think my only issue is that he doesn't "do" emotions very easily - I'm a dramatically emotional person and he looks at me with blank eyes sometimes - he does stable me out though.

    ^This. Hubby has problems with emotions and displaying them. His usual way of showing affection is to poke me hard in the chest or ruffle my hair. I much prefer a kiss or a hug. And it kind of annoys me that if we're alone and watching tv his hand is down his pants like Al Bundy. All in all he's pretty awesome, but like everyone, there are a few things that metaphorically prod my nerves.

    Oh lord tell me about it!

    My wife well, she has this amazingly annoying habit of turning up at my house....and cooking stuff with ingredients from my fridge...and doing some cleanning.

    She even tries to have a conversation with me.

    And sleeps in my bed.

    Every night!

    She's been doing this for years.

    I am outraged. I can't seem to get rid of her.

    My last boyfriend was bad about "multitasking." It was long-distance, so we depended on Skype a lot, and he would frequently be doing other things on the Internet or on his phone while we were talking. I would ask him once to stop, and if he didn't, I'd just close out of Skype and go on about my business. Then he would call me and tell me I was being immature ... for having better things to do than sit at my computer and watch him update his fantasy baseball team and text his friends.

    SAME THING! My ex and I were long distance (different countries!) and he would check his facebook and stop talking to me while we were skyping. Also, we were engaged and he would get annoyed at the fact that he had to get online everyday or every other day and talk to me- like I was being clingy or something when we live in different countries!

    Ohhh I have a good one!

    Ex #1: Chewing with mouth open, wanting to be a writer but he has never read a single book on his own and can't spell for crap, says "supposably" (THAT'S reason enough!), can't read an analog clock, being a terrible driver and making mommy pay for the 3 cars he's wrecked, and whining... always whining... Oh, and constantly playing video games he's not even good at.

    Ex #2: Wearing ear plugs at a concert for fear of losing hearing (honestly, who DOES THAT?!), buying me clearance christmas items as a valentines day present and being a cheap-o in general while I got him effing bruins playoff tix!!!, yelling (really YELLING) at me for not knowing how to change my own oil in my car, going halfsies on EVERYTHING (really, you can't just be a gentleman and take me out on ONE REAL date??), hating my best friend becuase he's a gay guy and thought he'd get hit on (that was the deal-breaker)

    Current: He keeps his bicycles in the dining room, won't do the dishes unless I tell him to. Really, the current one has got nothing on the ridiculousness of the other ones.

    She sleeps with my best friend and disappears for days without calling me to check in.

    Sometimes I get very worried and when I call her she won't answer.

    Then 10 minutes later I get a text that says 'Get lost loser.'

    Talking/asking questions while I am watching an awesome movie/tv show.

    Oh, and .. talking, constantly, all the time. It's like he can't have silence. He even talks in his sleep!

    Okay, I really think mine takes the cake. I only listed one bad habit, but I see numerous from other people, and he did all those.

    1.) not cleaning his backside
    2.) lying, DAILY
    3.) blow his nose in his washcloth in the shower
    4.)not brush his teeth daily, weekly for that matter
    5.)had probably 50 different jobs in 10 years were were together, and it was always their fault he left/got fired
    6.) never had a license the whole 10 years we were together
    7.) alcoholic/pain pill addiction
    8.) abusive
    9.)didn't shower daily
    10.)breathing, yet still...

    And trust me the, list goes on and on and on...........that's what happens when you get married young to someone you have only known 6 months. :grumble:

    My man does the constant video-gaming and texting, as well as tossing his dirty clothes everywhere EXCEPT the hamper. He also has bouts of childish temper and selfishness...but on the other side of the coin, I annoy him with my disorganization and absent-mindedness.

    Love sometimes is all about how well you can tolerate each other, eh?

    We recently hung out with two couples whose problems are FAR worse than ours (verbal abuse, cheating, manipulation/controlling one another, etc.), and it definitely made us appreciate each other more...We decided that whenever we feel like killing one another, we need to go hang out with those couples so that we'll go back to liking each other again. :laugh:

    My wife will keep score if things she has done and act as if she is always winning. Example diaper changing I would do it 6 or 7 times in a row, she would do it once than next time claim "it's your turn I have been doing it all day". Different example in case people say she was in labor for hours she wins. Ok ok.... Before we even had kids. Dishes, as I cook all the meals of the week I am constantly having to clean the dishes night after night. And often her only defense is she just had to do the dishes. Never mind the fact that I usually have washed a few times since her last attempt at it.

    Sounds like you're keeping score too..

    Mine will repeat himself sometimes.. like if I ask what he's doing, he'll say "Oh I'm just hangin' out watching Hell's Kitchen.... yep.. watchin' Hell's Kitchen.."

    lol I think it's kind of funny.
