My question is....I you could change any bad habbit that your fh has what would it be?
I wish that my fh would stop smoking! I hate the smell! He says he will stop but I guess it takes time.
And cursing. I slip up a few times but my goodness I have to get some soap for his potty mouth!

My dh is imperfect, but I love him just the way he is and wouldn't change a thing. I am happy to encourage him/help in any way I can with anything he wants to do to improve himself.

That said, if I were able to cause change, it would be in the number of Dr Peppers he drinks daily. He's cut back to 6-8 per day now. I just don't think all that can be good for him.

I really can't think of any bad habits DH has ... he pops his knees, he has a perfectionist streak, sometimes he over explains things, he leaves clothes on the floor sometimes ... these things bother me sometimes, but it is not something I can't deal with. I am sure I have little things that bother him that he doesn't complain about.

He doesn't smoke and doesn't have problems with other addictions, so I think I am lucky there ... I don't think I could ask for a better hubby :wub:

The biggest habit he has that I wish I could change is his smoking habit. I always said I wouldn't date a smoker... but most of our relations were online before we started dating, so I actually didn't know about it. By the time we started dating and I discovered... I didn't want to give up on it just because of that. He's a sly one.

DH has a habit of telling me to do something as I am doing it. It is so annoying. Or repeating what I say, like we are somewhere getting more information. I'll ask the lady a question, then she answers. He then asks the VERY EXACT question but words it differently. WTF Man lol

I would change two things -- the smoking, and his obsessive worrying over our financial life. He said he was going to quit when his step-father died of cancer, and he did go cold turkey and quit for a month, perhaps a bit longer, but then he got stressed out about our taxes and the bills and stuff, and now he says he's back on cigarettes (instead of a pipe) . . . "but it's only 1 or 2 a day" -- which I think is bad enough, thank you!

Ah well, when I met him he was smoking a pack every couple of days -- and he did turn to pipes instead of cigs, so I know he's trying. But I wish he would find another way to deal with his stress, it feels like he's rejecting *me* by turning to the nicotine instead. :( I have no idea if that's even rational to feel.

But there it is -- the smoking and the worrying about money, they go hand in hand.

Road Rage. :irked:

DH has a nasty habit of effing and blinding at anyone who gets in the way.
He is what We call in the UK a Typical "White Van Man" (Google it lol)

He is a nightmare to be with when He's driving the Works Van. Hence i never let Him take the wheel of My Car. He Crunches the Gearbox. Stays in Third Gear too long. And rolls a Cigarette with His hands through the Steering Wheel doing 90mph. When the Speed Limit is 70 :bbeek:

I know i'm far from perfect. I smoke, i swear and i drink a ridiculous amount of Tea a day. But i never ever crunch the Gearbox changing Gear. :)

This is pretty embarrassing (for FH), but the one thing I'd change about FH is his sneezing. He sticks a qtip that he's pulled the cotton off (and leaves everywhere after it been in his ear, ew!) and sticks it up his nose to make himself sneeze. He's such a freak... lol But I'm afraid he's going to shove the cottonless qtip up his nose into his brain. Not to mention gross ear waxy pieces of cotton all over the place. He's great besides that one (two) bad habit(s).

The only thing I would change about my husband is his shaving habits. I despise facial hair, and just wish he would shave more often. I guess I can consider myself lucky, though- he's not a smoker. That would bother me WAY more than the hair, lol!

I wish FH would watch his manners. He has gotten so much better over the years as far as table manners goes, but still sometimes he reverts back to old ways.

I can't really think of any habits I just can't stand. Occasionally he won't listen, or something I say won't register because I don't say it exactly in the way he would have and it leads to a stupid fight, but we're usually over it in like 10 minutes and we're both learning to understand each other's personal dialect!

My current annoyance is all his talk about money and the stock market - I stress about it too but the last thing I want to do is talk about it for hours every day!
