Sounds like your ex had ADHD or something. Most people aren’t like that.

This thread reminds me of the time my husband asked me where I had put his torque wrench.

Me: "Why are you asking me?"
Him: "Well, you had it!"
Me: "Really? When's the last time you saw me torqueing something??"

Right, that definitely sounds like an "OP's wife specifically" thing and not so much for married women or just women in general think.

And the thing with nagging that grinds my gears is a lot of times when a woman asks a question or makes a request, she gets labeled as a nag, especially if it's something that the guy knows is his responsibility and he's put off. So she says, "hey, are you going to fix that, or should I call a plumber?" and he lashes out, accuses her of nagging and shuts down the conversation.

Ouch, yes.

It is a kind of a cruel position to put a person in, neglecting something until she pretty much has to take action, then smugly saying her mentioning it is the reason you're not going to do it - oh sure, you were magically JUST about to, and to put the last nail in: this is all evidence that she's a nag.

'Cuz...what??

These are the biggest things I dislike and if I were to marry again would be no brainers before saying I do.
We lived together for five years before getting married, that was 33 years ago. We knew exactly what we were getting into. Also- We raised 3 kids who were each guilty of some of these.

That list could have been written about my ex husband, except for the bit about negativity. But living with a pollyanna is just as irritating. Someone could be dying and he'd try to come up with something positive to say about it, like at least they didn't have to worry about paying bills anymore.

Don’t all women do #1?

My wife is the opposite on 2 if she says she is going to do it likely it’s done by that day or end of weekend.

Clutter has picked up now with a baby but we both do our best to avoid or reduce. Mail is a bish though.

Lights I always turn off before going to bed st night drawers are not a problem.

Talk loud yes but she talks a lot and sometimes I have to tune her out and she’ll get louder as reaction.
