What annoying habits does or did your partner have

Smoking

I can't even remember how many times my ex lost her phone, sunglasses, keys etc. That shit got expensive to replace. It drove me nuts.

Good advice
For me on 1 - yes we were on board for having kids. Starting our adult life together and working towards buying our first home and building a family was a common goal.
I was pretty confident she was the one, she like the same movies, music, topics of conversation, laughed at my silly jokes.
I was blind to a serious conversation my mom had with me after I announced our engagement. Mom had some reservations that I couldn't see.
Overall I'm not disappointed in the journey. We have a wonderful bunch of kids and grand kids now. Great to go fishing or hunting with my son's later in life. Helping my daughter's out with repairs around their place and chatting about their day.or simply taking in a movie with them.
For the wife it took some time many years before our differences in interests actually were. Either she or I changed or maybe she couldn't keep the charade up forever and a big thing for me was the sex drive difference. But we don't have much in common interests anymore. But a big common is the family we built together that likely keeps us together and our friendship. But man she can be a bear at times so seperation is not out of the question at some point.
2. This is good advise. In my case I didn't know to observe this at the time. But if she was disrespectful service providers or waiters. Then that would have cautioned me to re-evaluate.
I believe my parents concerns had to do with what they observed with meeting her parents. And also what my sister's thoughts on what they observed of wife discussed with my parents when I wasn't around.

And I was a good boy. Never fucked around. Had an opportunity I believe in an awkward moment helping her sister get a new matrice into her bedroom. Lol boy did I exit the bedroom as soon as it got weird.
Also was to busy earning an income to support the mortgage and the family for any hobbies. And it was important for me to be true to her anyway.

As Judge Judy always said, the courting period is as good as it gets. Everyone is on their best behavior if they see marriage as a goal.

My ex and I never fought before the marriage. She would tolerate things before the marriage that she wouldn't stand for after. In truth I did some selfish stuff that she should have called me on before the marriage, but she was determined to not hurt the chances of me proposing marriage.

Soon after the marriage her true self came out in many ways. I didn't hide my faults during "courting". She did. The sex died soon after our second child was born, and in truth I lost my desire for her, as the sex was never really that good anyways. But I thought we were really compatible in most other ways, as we had been seeming to get along super well.

I was totally surprised by her snarky remarks and criticisms, even in front of friends and relatives, that drove me further and further away. I wondered how she could hide that side of her personality so well in the year we had been dating, and even a couple of months of living together.

Eventually we did a bit of marriage counselling, but she refused to try whatever the male & female counsellor team suggested. So we quit seeing them.

After the sex died I started to go to spas, but never did anything beyond normal spa limits, and I never cheated with civilians.

Anyways we stayed together until the kids were over 18, and then mutually decided to split.

We shared similar tastes in entertainment and travel, but that was not enough to sustain a sexless, tension-filled home life.

Never mind friends and relatives, one time she even brought our dog into it. We were having dinner at home. The kids were out. We hadn't been arguing.
I said something that I thought was funny, and had nothing to do with her. The dog was lying down near us.
Right after I finished my little joke she sarcastically said to the dog, "Very funny, eh, Sparky?" (the dog's real name has been changed to protect the innocent...) It is funny how that has stuck with me for so many years.

She’s just protecting you from the pain bro!

Most annoying is chewing loudly, or slurping your soup.

She never left the toilet seat up.

Every time I read these types of threads it makes me so glad I decided on never getting married years ago lol

Doesn't matter, been in a variety of relationships and I would say it doesn't matter what their background was.
The loud eating and not cleaning up after oneself is another annoying behavior.

The bitch puts her used floss in the bathroom garbage draped over the edge half in half out. It's fucking gross and even though I give her shit she continues this disgusting behavior. Then I started putting her nasty floss in her toothbrush cup. Now she doesn't do it.
When I come to bed many hours after her, the bedroom is fucking cold sometimes 16° or 17°C. She doesn't give a fuck selfish bitch.
When she uses 2nd bathroom in my basement man cave, she always leaves door half open when done so next user has push door fully open when entering. How fucking hard is it to leave bathroom door fully open the way you found it!!! I find a disturbing pattern among most third worlders, it's all me me me me and they don't give a fuck about anyone!!! FUCK THEM!!! You can take the person out of the third world but you can't take the third world out of the person.
And I can't stand her fucking voice anymore and she's fucking frigid!!

If she was still hot and fucking you whenever you desired, you wouldn’t care about these things.

Not cleaning herself properly after a deuce then coming to bed without panties on. Yes, it’s true, I’m not a fan of DATO.

waiting to ask me right as i sit down to do something instead of asking me while i'm already up helping
every single time

Calling me at work first thing on Monday morning to remind me of items on my honey-do-list. Yes, she didn’t have a very cognitively challenging job; hence her available brain cycles to dwell on nonsense.

While body was still hot af, I didn’t mind it. But once things sagged, wrinkled and dried [up], her behavior extremely annoyed me. “The juice was no longer worth the squeeze”. Actually, there was less juice to squeeze out.

As general advice to all terb members, and mankind in general, if the sex and her hotness is the main reason you married her, that's usually a big mistake.

As the old saying goes, for every young lady you see walking down the street, who is so hot your spine starts tingling at the thought of having sex with her, there is some guy who is tired of fucking her...

Spending my money
