Has conversations with her family in their native tongue, won't translate for me, and looks at me like I'm supposed to have understood it all.

yeah, I'm a neat freak, and pretty particular. My sig does not do any housework anymore, at one time she was a really clean person.

Towels on the floor behind the bed, yes. It slays me.

Dishes left in the sink, but this is what kills me. I keep saying, if it's got food on it, leave it on the side of the sink where the disposal is. This is not paid attention to one bit. I'd say put it in the dishwasher, but then I end up reorganizing the whole thing because there's six dishes and not a space left to put anything because loading a dishwasher is a Tetris like skill, apparently.

Her car is a disaster zone. I have to clean it out weekly or there literally won't be places to put the kids.

My family is largely together and gets along. Her family hate each other and have moved away from each other. My family routinely covers babysitting, and are only around if requested. Her family gives us stuff, but largely toys and candy for the kids, things we not only don't need more of, we are actively trying to get rid of. New toy? Great, we'll throw the one away you gave us two months ago. But guess whose family is a constant source of her frustration?

She didn't do laundry for a long time, but now she does just infrequently enough to make me mad, and NOTHING ever gets put away. Baskets and baskets of clothing just lounging all over the house. Is it clean? I don't know!

When she's home with the kids, she has no time to do the housework because the "kids keep her too busy". However, when I am home, the one day I'm actually home a week, I can have the house put back in order, cleaned and vaccumed in an hour and a half. With all three kids, by myself.

Clothes never make it to the hamper. I switched sides in bed so her side was up against the wall, because it looked like a salvation army.

I make food, I clean up after myself. She makes food, nope.

I get home from work, and immediately start trying to clean the house. Does this make her happy? NO. Why don't you pay attention to me first? Well, I don't know, if this place gets any dirtier we're going to get evicted?

Move. Literally.

Luckily for me, I'm the messier one.

I wish. Tough to live on one income these days.

K Effective made me feel better. If you have a HE washer, why not use the pellets?

And while food making is not her forte, she hasn't screwed up a frozen pizza ever.

Yea, I am also in favor of CoF getting out of that (seemingly) toxic relationship. I thought it was bad when I nodded in agreement with a few of these, but gosh darn man

Yea, just be honest and say you feel like being lazy. Don't insult my intelligence. I'll tell her to do something before I leave for work if she gets the day off and then 7 hours later it's still not done. "Not enough time" = Watched home renovation shows for 7 hours.

Only thing I can think of is that I never know where literally anything is because it's home changes constantly. The spare charger lived in the kitchen drawer until I need it, then it's moved to the den.

Oh... please for the love of god if you "borrow" a tool from my kit put it back. I'd like it to be cleaned too but I'll settle for not finding it when I need it only to discover it's been borrowed and put in the silverware drawer.

Think we have the same wife. My wife will tell a 20 minute story that should take 2, and then a week later she will ask me something about it or I'll ask her something not remembering she told me, and she'll flip out and say I don't listen. I do listen, but I get the important facts. Sorry the 18 extra minutes of filler was not pertinent.

My wife also is the slowest eater. And as one who can wolf down a 2 pound porterhouse in about 30 seconds, it's always annoying when she has barely taken a bite because of the long stories mentioned above. Eventually I just get up and start putting away dishes and food or else I will be sitting at the table for an hour doing nothing.

eh, the sex is wild, nightly if I want it so, and when she goes back to work, I'll be much more inclined to overlook the slob stuff because I can stop working so much. The real killer is turning over all the cleaning responsibilities because she's home, but finding them largely not getting done, while she pulls no income in. I don't mind the house cleaning and all it entails if she's legit busy actually, you know, working.

Time and direction. Due to MANY kicks in the ass over MANY years this has gotten better. It used to be a constant battle. North, South, East, or West might as well have been Japanese symbols. And forget knowing the numbers to any of the major toll/high ways in the area. She still isn't great with directions but if she needs help she can generally tell me which direction she is going or a major intersection she is near.

When we were dating and we would have to be somewhere at say....7:00. I would tell her that we need to walk out of the house at "6:15" or whatever to to get to the place on time. 6:15 would roll around and there would be no sense of urgency to get out the door.

6:15, AIS. Ass In Seat because that car is leaving with or without you. This has been vastly improved upon as well.

I think CoF and i maybe married to twins. My wife does work 40-50 hours a week and she is good for sex whenever i want. We used to fight about it a lot but it is easier to just forget it. I am not going to change her.

I didnt list it because it doesnt really annoy me, its actually kinda funny and charming but her and her whole family do this.

Her dad told me a story once about ordering a pizza from a place I used to work at. He knew the owner and got it comped. That was the point of the story. Here is how he told it

I used to play softball with Larry up in Evergreen Park. Tuesday nights. We were pretty good. Danny was on the team too.
(3-5 second pause)
So, one day I said, Hey Larry, when are you gonna get us some pizzas out here, cmon man. You own the place.
(3-5 second pause)
So he says, you like pizza?
(3-5 second pause)
I said yea, of course I like pizza.
(3-5 second pause)
He says what do you like on it?
(3-5 second pause)
I said I like green pepper, onions and mushrooms.
(3-5 second pause)
He said you still live off 127th?
(3-5 second pause)
I said, yeah, why?
(3-5 second pause)
He says ok and pulls out his phone and says Hi, this is Larry, make up a large with green pepper, onions, and mushrooms. For pick up.
(3-5 second pause)
He hangs up and tells me it will be ready in 30 minutes. Then I saw him the next week and he said Hey, how was that pizza?

So yea, I do know Larry and he's a nice guy.

I edited to include the pauses. In print doesnt do it justice. It took him like 20 minutes to tell this story.

I don't mind a long story if it is entertaining. Mark Twain told long stories. This is what my wife would complain at me about. Though I only tell a story like once/month.

The next time my wife is on time will be the first time. I now lie to her about when we have to be somewhere and tell her it is earlier than we need to be. That way her usual 15 to 30 minutes late window just changed to being on time.

There is an age gap, too. The younger generations have far less time for it.
