Men

Oh your poor mum, yes dogs are DEFINATLEY better at least they're grateful and don't speak !

Ah that's great for you im glad you have someone lovely, romp - I absoloutley dread it and can't wait for it to be over and done with not that it hardly ever happens, thank god !

Yeh, we still have our moments....... It's not all bad.

Mine has 'selective deafness', you know, 'you never mentioned xyz'. I did you just weren't listening! I throw in a curve ball now and again to see if he is still listening - 'right I'm off to my free-fall ping-pong now' or 'I just won an elephant where should we park it?'

know exactly what you mean, I can be talking away and I know he's not listening and then four days later he's says ' why didn't you tell me '  I say I did you just wernt listening !

i understand your frustration, it's trying to find a way to pretend they're not there !

god you poor thing, you have my sympathy im right there with you !

Yes they are like babies - gosh so many poor ladies going through the same thing as me. Whats wrong with them - I remind him of our marraige vows ' in sickness and in health ' - seems it only applies to me !

Hi ladies,

Yes he is a pain. I have to keep quiet about my stuff or he huffs it's something different with you every day.

And always bloody eating and it drives me nuts crunching and munching away on anything and everything (no chance of him gaining weight round the middle still has 28"waist he always had)

He's well domesticated so I can't complain about bad bathroom or bedroom habits.

What really irritates me is if there is something wrong with him off to bed with toothache and sniffles. Yesterday he couldn't manage the promised driving lesson with our daughter because he'd tired himself in the garden (she's 2 weeks away from her test so not exactly taxing).

Those ear hairs I think they grow there to filter out not only me but anyone speaking to him. I tell him something someone was saying to us both and he gives me a look like I'm making it up, our friends must think he's rude and ignorant too. His friend has been talking of his brothers wedding for weeks now my hubby caught up the other day (although I've told him twice) Oh when are they getting married then? He's only been telling him for the past month and first mentioned it day after valentines day.

At least HRT has made me a little more tolerant and I can keep up in the bedroom again.

Ha ha ha shouldn't laugh really but it all sounds so so familiar it really does ! I know the don't believe you face too ! Also why is it that he will lay on the sofa all night not speaking to me just eating and rooting through the fridge and cupboards for yet more food, but if he spots a neighbour through the hedge or at the bottom of the garden walking past he will stand there for ages laughing ha ha ha and gossiping like an old fish wife with his hands on his hips as if to say ' oh I know '  in a deep understanding voice, and then if I see anyone they say ' oh isn't your husband lovely, he's so clever and funny !' .............. I'm afraid the last person who said that I replied with ' well you don't bloody well live with him'......... Get the picture ! X

It's the same with me! Yours and mine must have been separated at birth! Lol! He can be so nasty with me and takes all his frustrations out on me but acts so wonderful with others. They all think he is so nice but like you said they don't live with him and are not married to him.

Oh poor you with the same infliction - mine can be totally rotten and nasty aswell especially if he doesn't get what he wants in the bedroom department, it's always a no by the way from me - it's like if they get that ( sex ) they are really nice for a while but if they don't they sulk then get nasty and spiteful. Yes yes yes everyone thinks I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful husband , well I have a plan im gonna secretly record his nasty side and play it back to everyone that knows him - see what they have to say about that !

I have thought of the same thing but haven't the nerve to do so. I think they behave like that with us because they've grown used to us and are comfortable with us. They didn't behave like this when we were dating or else we would have dropped them flat.

I know it's hard - I think they don't like and can't handle change and they don't like it and that's why they get snappy. Not our fault, we didn't ask for all this and if we had a choice we certainly wouldn't choose this road .
