My husband doesnt acknowledge when i clean something and he messes it up again without cleaning it up... He doesnt listen to me, everything i say is forgoten within 2 minutes.... The second he comes home from work he goes online to chat with his female friends and he wont get off line for anything. no matter how much i beg him to spend time with me.. whew that felt good. thanks for reading.. let me know yours.

Wow, you tolerate that? I'm impressed. He has no clue what an understanding wife he has. I thought my hubs was bad being hooked on YouTube.com, I guess it could be much worse. I hope things get better for you.

I wouldn't stand for him not spending time with me...but anyway what bothers me about my guy is that he doesn't understand his actions need to support his words. Like he says he loves me, but when we're with his friends I get ignored.

The only thing that I can find to complain about, is that he is very messy. Other than that, he is a wonderful man, and I love him very much for 30 years.

I agree about the cleaning thing too! I hate when I clean the house and my boyfriend, who is my long-term live in boyfriend, comes home and just throws his work clothes or whatever all over the floor. He has gotten a little bit better about this, but sometimes he doesn’t take his boots off as soon as he gets inside the house and he tracks dirt around the house, usually after I just vacuumed or swept! The thing that drives me absolutely insane is kind of like a major pet peeve of mine. I am a stay at home mom, but I work from home at night. I work as a freelance writer. We live in an apartment, so my office is my living room. I only work when my daughter goes to sleep, so I am usually up until about 2 or 3 in the morning. About midnight, my boyfriend always has a late night snack, which is a bowl of cereal. For some reason, after every bite he says “Yum.” He claims he isn’t doing it, but I know he is. As soon as I hear him coming out I have to put my headphones on so I can’t hear it or else I can’t work for the rest of the night!

Oh my god. the "yum " thing is so funny . I told ;my husband and he started laughing... we both got a kick out of it. . thats really funny. thanks for sharing. yeah., my husband likes to track mud though the house too after work.. especially right after i vacume it seems. and he throws his clothes on the floor too right after i clean even though he has his own closet for dirty clothes he still puts them in the middle of the floor. it drives me crazy. but sometimes you just have to laugh about it.

damn...i'm sorry...your husband needs a reality check. i suggest don't feed or clean him or a while, make him fend for himself and see how he likes it. as for mine, its some of his way of thinking. i have to force compliments out of him. he doesn't say 'good job' when i clean or do something. he says 'why should i compliment you on something that you should already be doing anyway? i'll be amazed if i come home and dinner is cooked everything is spotless, everythings taken care of and the boys are quiet and behaving...but i know thats impossible" humm...also the fact that he thinks he's right most of the time...

I completely understand about the listening thing. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten the phone call "Where are you" Mine doesn't chat with females but he's addicted to an online game with friends and he tries to control the tv and pc from his seat. I get pissed because I've been busy with the kids and house all day I'd like to enjoy some televsion. I know how it feels to vent, so if you ever need to let it out, just let know, I'm here to listen if you like.

my hubby does the first two. If he did that last one there would be a frying pan] upside his head! He does get online and he does talk to females, but he'll get off if I want him to.

I'm frustrated that we can't have a conversation! I have to constantly ask him a question to get things out of him. I feel like I'm interviewing him instead of having a conversation. :-

yeah. it sounds like he is focused on something else instead of you and need s a wake up call.
