26 Seemingly Harmless Things That Drive Your Husband Mad

October 12, 2020 · Marriage

Eating off his plate

Some people, women, in particular, feel anxious about ordering too much food or can’t seem to make up their minds. But just because you’re on a low-calorie diet and the salad you ordered is not filling enough, it doesn’t mean your husband’s food is up for grabs. If you feel like eating pasta or fries, go ahead and order some, don’t annoy your partner by constantly munching on his food.

Saying things are okay when they’re not

If there’s one thing everyone can agree on when it comes to women, it’s that when they say things are ok, they are most certainly not ok. It’s not always easy to have an honest conversation and talk about the things that bother you, but expecting your other half to read your mind is not going to help your relationship.  Statements like “I’m fine,” when you really mean, “I’m so angry I could scream,” is a habit many husbands find completely annoying and frustrating. Being passive-aggressive instead of speaking your mind will not help you get your needs met and avoid similar problems in the future.

Picking his clothes for him

It’s always nice when you buy your significant other something to wear and they actually wear it. It’s like a confirmation that you have good taste. However, just because you liked a certain T-shirt or tie, doesn’t mean you should be treating your husband like a living Ken and picking his clothes for him forever. You might think those smart suits or pants look good on him, but he might become annoyed with your constant persistence to dress him up the way you like it.

Losing things all the time

This can happen to everyone, but if it happens to you more often than not, don’t be surprised if your husband gets a little peeved by your scatterbrained behavior. It’s even more annoying when you not only have a habit of losing your things but also items that don’t belong to you. Your intentions might have been to borrow something and return it as soon as possible, but if that thing’s nowhere to be found (again!), then your husband has all the right to be upset about it.
