Hey everyone, I'm currently feeling a bit hormonal and irritable and need to vent! So I'm hopefully starting a discussion on what your boyfriend/girlfriend does that annoys you.
Just want to add that this is just intended for a bit of fun and not being malicious... plus I do love my boyfriend
I'll start with right now, he's playing COD and sighing, swearing, huffing and puffing when he gets shot like it really matters... grrr it's a game!! :mad:
She only seems to get passionate about things that are either a short term fad, or incredibly popular in some other way. It sometimes seems like she wouldn't like certain things if they weren't so popular, which isn't really a good reason to like something in my eyes. It's sort of like being a fashion victim, but with culture instead of clothes.
She likes all the culture behind something and that's it. For example, she loves Harry Potter and Doctor Who, but it seems almost more to do with fitting into a particular culture of Doctor Who lovers than it Is to do with actually liking Doctor Who.
Seems to have no concept of any conversation that is deeper or more intellectual than
a) Some problem she is having in her life right now
b) Some problem one of her friends is having
Neither of which ever gets any deeper than say- relationship troubles, how she chooses to decorate her room, etc... trying to talk about anything deeper is automatically seen as boring and she switches off, yet I am supposed to remember random crap she has told me two weeks ago about what all her friends are doing?
She has no sense of subtlety. She won't get comedy unless it's blindingly obvious. She won't like music unless it's really catchy, She won't like games unless it's some colourful anime character jumping over breeze blocks or something really simple like Tetris.
She doesn't seem to have a mad side. She is a vegetarian, she doesn't drink. Yeah yeah, I know, you think eating meat and drinking has nothing to do with being fun and crazy- I know that, but it's a profile that is common. I wish she cared less about things sometimes, like just doing something for the hell of it and being spontaneous and mad.
That's cos she's fed up being suddenly woken in the middle of the night by finding out YOU'VE been dreaming about having your hand up a cow's arse again!!! :eek:

Well, all women you've encountered are the same, maybe.
Can this include grown-up sons living at home? My youngest drives me MENTAL by using his desk as a bloody 16-piece drum kit - it seems to echo around the house, but maybe I'm just over-sensitive to it.
Snores all night yet as soon as I start he wakes me up to tell me I'm snoring and now I'm listening to him.
Doesn't seem to be able to put anything in the bin.
His inability to wash a glass out properly.
He eats too noisily.
Polishes his shoes too much. And cleans his specticals too much.
Uses the shower tray like it's a laundry basket.
And many more things, but I adore him.
He farts just as he's waking up.
He put his clothes in the linen basket inside out.
He leaves the car in gear.
He never, ever empties the dishwasher.
He'll do anything for friends but I've asked him to regrout the shower a zillion times :rolleyes:
A complete inability to close a door/drawer/fridge door after he's been in the cupboard/drawer/fridge. Thinks the back of the car is a bin and not a place for extra passengers to sit. Never uses a bread board when making a sandwich and leaves the buttery knife sitting on the worktop. I think that's the worst one
His side of the bed is always full of clothes and plates and glasses. I refuse to pick up after him as I'm not his mother but it drives me insane. Just pick up the damn clothes you lazy git!
Also he is cheap. I'll want to take a cab if it's too hot out and he'll just want to soldier on and walk up a hill to save five euros and be drenched in sweat by the time we get home. Then he'll complain about how hot it is. Well duh! You just made us walk up a hill in 30 degree heat, carrying bags of shopping instead of getting an air conditioned cab home!

I'd get a taxi for myself and let the silly bugger sweat all the way home tbh.

I'm an expert at subconsciously kicking the remote under the sofa. Usually when Leeds are on.
You're in a relationship anyway (are you not), so no need to cry.
Chin up.

Ah! THAT explains it!
You're with my Ex....
I'm with my own ex, because all women are the same

Erm... no?
Awwwww why??
Edit: actually - I feel rather uncomfortable now I read your post again! haha!
What's wrong with whining? You don't get what you want otherwise
This is not how it works!
It's an ex, so whatever happened is always their fault
And when she's asleep - snoring. And boy, does she snore.
I always find myself with that Tom Jones song 'she's a lady' playing ironically inside my head.
Yes! You're quite right! I only sulked when he tried to stop me using his credit card, after all. I mean, sheesh!
That's hardcore. Controlling much!

I do love him though
He asks me how my day was, then interrupts me to talk about himself.
My mum does that. It drives me mad. What's more, her dog has started making the same noise when it yawns as well.
