What drives your impatience? For me, it's when a person panics, crazily panics imo, when faced with a bit of chaos. My dh recently cut his finger pretty deep and his reaction was very dramatic. He could have been auditioning for a part in a play. He does not like blood, guts, etc. Who does? He loves zombie movies, but he won't watch discovery health. It freaks him out. I get it. We all have our things. I have mine. Any way, I called my dad about 20 minutes into it when I was on my way to the CVS for supplies. When I get back my darling is still going at it. I told him to cut the crap and chill out. My dad did not like that and told me to, no demanded, that I do my wifely duties lol. I did of course, tho, my dh says I suck as a nurse. Clearly, if he were shooting blood all over the place, or lost the finger, he'd be at the emergency room.

I'm sure I sound heartless, but panic does something to my brain. I don't like it. It's not my way.

So, how about you?

What you described is not a personality trait. That's just a man.

Damn, I just repped you for something else. What's interesting is that I know he would not have reacted that way at work. It's just for me. lol

Let's see.

Bossy, demanding or controlling attitudes are total turn-offs; Nitpicky guys are also turn-offs; a man with multiple personalities is a turn-off; crybabies (no this does not mean that I don't want him showing any emotions) are a turn-off; hypocritical guys are also a turn-off; sleazy womanizing players are also a huuuuuuuugggeee turn off!

I don't know if that's a trait (maybe), but a condition or perhaps a personality in its entirety.
