I do not find anything funny about any of those things, [u'>[b'>and if you're as happy as you claim, I sure doubt this thread would have had the term "annoying" and "inconsiderate" as part of its heading.[/b'>[/u'> It's sad that people continue using "culture" as an excuse to so many bullish things. Anyhow, it's your marriage (and doubt you've been married long), so whatever rocks your boat... and of course every mother who ever said her child is annoying or did something annoying is also miserable and unhappy. no need to over-analyze everything dear, it's a light-hearted thread which 95% of us smiled at or laughed at. None of us are debating leaving our husbands because they annoyed us, i promise :)

If every lady re-evaluated her marriage based on something stupid her husband did, i guess we'd all be divorced :D Yes.

[b'>Those who don't like the post: why keep coming back to read it? :) it's just for fun, no need to get politically correct about every thing. And my husband is aware what i've wrote and gave me his blessing :) on the other hand, i ask him almost on a weekly basis if there is anything i could be/should be doing to make him happier and our marriage better to which he replies "no, you're perfect. you're the best wife i could have ever imagined and i hope you never change." [u'>then he goes and tells his friends being married sucks! he's afraid if he tells them how good it is and how happy he is they'll give him '3ayn' or evil eye and then our marriage will start to go sour[/u'> :D and i know he does this, and i don't mind. C'est la vie. And if you don't like it, get a life :p[/b'> Very sad that someone would actually believe this and actually find it "sweet", "loving" or whatever else they want to call it. To me, it is a clear indication that something is not right. I certainly never said i find it sweet or loving! that's part of his culture and i don't care. we have a fantastic marriage alhamdulillah :) sharing something stupid that he did doesn't make me want to re-assess my marriage. LOL. If every lady re-evaluated her marriage based on something stupid her husband did, i guess we'd all be divorced :D

Maroosh, you may be right about it not being the done thing to diss ones DH publicly......but I also think that anyone who feels the need to talk in this manner, might want to assess their marriage. Joking about marriage sucking to avoid e v il eyes is bordering on something else. *Applauds enthusiastically* :)

I don't see any nastiness. All I see is a debate, which is surely something which can occur naturally? After all, there's been no name-calling, no b!tchiness, no out-and-out abuse taking place! It's merely an exchange of opinions. By all means, bring the thread back to where it was originally if you would like. :)

Er ... first off, this is the first time I've read this thread. I wouldn't have commented at all had it not been for Marroosh's observations/question re asking whether men do the same thing and how she thought doing this 'wasn't very nice'. And I am coming back now to read it because I wanted to read responses to my post, if any. As one does. I'm not being overly PC, I don't think - and I did admit I was probably being 'old-fashioned' about this - but it's just my opinion which I'm sharing. :) I'm very sorry that your husband feels he has to tell his colleagues his marriage 'sucks' because otherwise it would be cursed or something. Sounds awful for you. But if you're happy, good for you. PS. I have a life. Thanks for checking. :) . <em>edited by LadyBee on 16/04/2013</em>

I agree this thread is quite sad...but i'm not sure which is sadder, the stories themselves or the fact that women feel it's ok to share them. I'm left wondering why women stay married to some of these individuals and why they tolerate being treated so poorly..i sincerely hope some of the stories have been embellished for effect and aren't actually real... and i'll be giving mine an extra hug tonight in smug relief !! lol Good idea. :) Agree: the public forum thing about it has left a bit of a nasty taste, I'll confess, but maybe that's what makes people feel okay about sharing? After all, if they figure no one knows them personally, then what harm? I'm probably too old-fashioned, but this sort of over-sharing is a bridge too far for me.

I wonder if men also talk about the inconsiderate and annoying things their wives do. Maybe it's just me not being married, but really is it all such a big deal? Anyone wants to come back in a year or so and ask me? I'm not sure. I think it might be cultural/social/geographical. I don't know any men who bang on about their wives/partners like this, unless it's good-natured joshing in their partner's company, and that gives their partner a perfect opportunity to engage in some fun tit-for-tat jokery. All in good fun. But complaining? I agree with you; I think it's just wrong, sorry. I wouldn't dream of being hooked for life to someone who spoke about me to others in this way. I think that television, among other things, bears some responsibility here. It's become something of a meme that men complain about the 'old ball and chain' and in turn, women complain about every little thing their partners do because ... well, it's what everyone does. I'm not completely innocent of this - I've been known to let the odd criticism slip! - but it's something I do try to watch and to NOT make habitual. And I know plenty of lovely women who only have nice things to say about their partners. That's how I want to be and how I think things should be in a 'perfect world'. By all means, have a vent every so often but ... well, of course some of the stories on this thread are entertaining, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with these stories being shared for entertainment ... that's just me, obviously. Sorry. And there are some comments, dotted throughout, that actually aren't funny; they're sad, a bit poignant, and I do feel sorry for the posters sharing them. *LIKE* I agree this thread is quite sad...but i'm not sure which is sadder, the stories themselves or the fact that women feel it's ok to share them.

Apparently "he didn't know what to get me" for my bday. Mothers day he forgot. But then at Easter, I dropped many hints and got flowers and an abundance of chocolate. Men are just cr@p aren't they. Join the club. Been a mother for 5 years and he has never remembered mothers day at all. :( Totally agree with you Pikachu. Never mind, you'll soon be getting the hand made card with bits of things stuck on it and rubbish spelling of "I love you mummy" ....absolutely priceless :)

He's now mad at me because he burned it :) not because i wasn't available to do it, but "next time when you finish the ironing, turn down the heat on the iron :( i burned my sifrah :(" I said "why didn't you bl00dy check before you started!!!!" to which he replied "it's your fault, who irons with the iron on full heat!" Em, everyone ! :) LOOOOOL as i write this he's asking what i'm laughing at. you my darling :D Lol!
