Things you can't stand about your Significant Other

My wife still asks me "permission" to do certain things like get up and go get a fucking coke.

"Honey, can I go get a soda?"

"OH GODDAMMIT YOU'RE YOUR OWN PERSON AND I'M NOT YOUR FATHER ALTHOUGH THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY YOU CALL ME DADDY WHILE BANGING STOP ASKING ME PERMISSION FOR THE STUPIDEST SHIT"

She wants you to be more assertive. If this is a common thing I have a feeling it turns her on and you two should try bondage.

My girlfriend and I differ slightly when it comes to politics. In high school, we were both on the same page and then I sort of changed my position on several issues (especially economics). Now, she always gets me into stupid arguments i don't care about. I don't mind she has different views over me, I accept that - But she takes any disagreement as a personal insult. She once said that I think she's an idiot because I don't agree with her.

She has this habit of talking in detail about things that don't interest me and she knows it. I'm not talking about her day or stuff like that - I'm talking about what random people I don't know said on Twitter (not funny stuff even), TV shows I don't watch or she knows I don't like... It's not a huge deal, but I mean, I've watched Gossip Girl with her and I didn't like it, I don't see why she thinks I'll be interested in the synopsis of every episode. Oh wow, Blair or whatever marries a prince despite she'll obviously end up with Nate? You don't say.
 
My wife amasses large amounts of clutter and is not good at keeping a clean house. She insists it is because we have a small house, but I know that if we had a mansion it would be full of clutter in record time. It's just the way she is.

We balance each other out well though since I am a clean freak and enjoy cleaning and organizing the house. If I'm gone for a couple of days though, the house goes downhill fast.
Dad?

Is that you?

Complains our house is too big to maintain and she doesn't have time to get anything done. Somehow this translates into nothing getting done. She doesn't work (mutual choice,raising the kids) and can't find 30 minutes to clean?

Claims laundry is a big task. How much time does it take to put a load in and transfer the other the the dryer?

At least 3 out of 5 work days a week I call on my way home and get 'Sorry I haven't even thought about dinner yet?'

What are you doing all day? LOL

One of my exes was like this. I usually just turned it into angry sex.

My boyfriend's facial hair grows back fast. One morning he'll shave and his 5 o'clock shadow will be growing in at noon. It's like kissing a hedgehog when he lets it grow out more.

Just messy. She'll make a mess everywhere but does a good job of cleaning it up a day or so after, I just wish she could clean up after herself when she's done. Tired of seeing glitter sparkles and makeup spilled on my dresser for days.

Her mom has control issues which makes my GF obnoxiously submissive from time to time.

No, I don't mean in a sexual way. She just sometimes chooses not to express herself when she gets pissed off, which does more harm than good.

we have an open relationship...

Fiance and I were really enamored with Ayn Rand after high school - I fell out of it in a year or two, while she's still going strong. Nowadays, we're still both selfish materialists...difference is, she still thinks it's morally righteous. Me, I'm just a dick, I guess. Or just honest with myself.

I grew up being the "animal" person in my family. New pets would end up liking me more than anyone else. I had the gift.

My wife puts my ability to shame, and all of our pets love her more.

There really isn't much. He's OCD about certain things and I'm OCD on other things and there is other shit we mutually clutter then pick up before company comes. It works out well since we're always tidying up opposite things, and it has made us aware of one another's OCD preferences, increasing the wonderful overall OCD possibilities. Same political views, religious views, views on parenting, decorating preferences, holiday and other traditions, etc.

I can usually put down something I'm doing fairly easily, but if he's working on something, he'll keep at it until it's fixed/done. If it was something useful, that would be awesome, but it's always computer stuff, beer stuff, general boy hobbies. And he leaves hair on the sink when he uses his beard trimmer. But I can't say shit because I get makeup dust on the sink in the mornings. There's really nothing I "can't stand" and anything remotely negative is outweighed by how much he helps me around the house and the fact that I'm laughing/smiling for most of my day. :3

She leaves cupboard doors open. That wouldn't be bad if I wasn't tall and hit my head every time on the corner if one.

Used tissues lying about. We have a box of tissues by the couch for convenience, she will use one and just toss it on the end table.

Never in the mood. Granted I've been married 10 years but she always claims being tired, stressed from work, annoyed by the kids, whatever... It always amounts to her not being in the mood for anything intimate regardless of how many times she says she is amazed that after 10 years she still loves me as much as she did the first time she fell for me.

He plays too much video games and spends all his other free time on GAF.

That's right, I'm your girlfriend.
 
she leaves containers, bottles half open, half screwed on so risk of spilling Laundry detergent is high, so I must track down all containers that she used and shut them tight.

also includes bottles in the fridge and stuff
 
My ex had a tendency to cede all decisions to me and get super-mad if

A) I said it didn't matter to me (which, 99% of the time, it didn't)
B) I made the wrong choice and she said nothing

This includes everything like "Where to go for lunch" and "What game should we play?"

I'm staying away from this thread. My wife lurks GAF to a limited extent.

That being said, I can't think of anything about her that I "can't stand." I could list a few nitpicks/annoyances, however. <_< ... >_>

There's nothing my girlfriend does that really drives me crazy but for the sake of thread participation:

- she's kind of hard to get out of the bed, whether she wakes up at 6 am or almost noon. Definitely not a morning person.

- she's a huge cuddle bug, which only really bothers me when she gets a little over zealous and tries to hog tie me on the couch or drives her head into my neck/cheek.

- she has a ridiculously good memory and can get frustrated when mine doesn't keep up. No, I'm probably not going to remember the names of your coworkers no matter how many times you talk about them.

I had no idea my sister was dating again.

Talking on and on to my friends. I like my girls to be talkers since I'm not, but we'll be at a party or something and she'll give every last detail about people they don't know on a topic they didn't care about to start.

Her sex drive is way, way, way, way more intense than mine.

No, wait, that's awesome.
 
Same as you, OP. Also, she takes a long ass time to reply to texts and her mother is a fucking cunt. Other than that, I seriously love her.
