Nice try, dear. You’re not going to trick me into complaining on a public message board about how you decide to start doing laundry at 9pm the night before we have to catch a real early flight.

Thankfully only little things. Much like others, there's no door that will ever be locked, no cabinet door closed or any lights turned off.

There are only two really aggravating things. About every six months or so, she completely reorganizes all of the drawers and cabinets, meaning by the time everyone has figured out where everything is, she moves it again. Sometimes the locations makes zero sense to anyone but her. The rough part is that she gets furious when everyone asks her where things have been moved.

Second is a double edged sword. She has an amazing capacity to focus and a legitimate photographic memory. Serves her unbelievably well, her recall ability is astounding, which I can respect since I basically have ADHD and it seems like a superpower to be able to focus for more than 5 minutes. The downside isn't that she uses that during arguments, but she expects everyone around her to have the same memory and recall ability and gets angry as hell when something comes up and it's apparent that we don't. I have to tell her that I can barely remember what I ate for breakfast, I'm certainly not going to remember that you have an appointment next Tuesday, that you told me about in passing four and half months ago. She has gotten a lot better about it though. I set up a Google family calendar and she just drops things there when she thinks of them instead of telling us.

My wife will walk past her water bottle on the counter and sit down on the couch next to me. 30 seconds later she will ask me to grab her water. hard no.

She lets me put it the butt sometimes but doesn't appear to enjoy it at all. It's quite distracting.

She sometimes gets in her own head, won't let me encourage her for a while, and gets down on herself in an almost depressed way. But she loves me, she lets me talk her through it, and we come out better than before.

Sounds like a lot of y’all need to install the automatic quiet closers on cabinets and kitchen drawers. Game changer. You can barely touch it, and it will continue to close itself quietly.

She will over fill the garbage can in the bathroom almost immediately after I empty it. Only time it isn’t spilling over is right after I empty it.

Could care less about her car. Leaves the inside filthy, think coffee spills, etc. Bought her a Lexus and the next week she closed the garage door on the back of it so the metal rails slide down the tailgate.

She keeps me sane though.

Interesting. Don’t buy her a Lexus if you don’t think she can appreciate it.

Falls asleep anywhere except in bed on most nights, the couch, the dinner table, on top of the covers even the toliet...only to eventually get up, take a shower and then go to bed.

Well her divorcing me and kicking me out was pretty annoying. Maybe I'm just being petty

2 issues with mine:

1. I refer to her as the righter of wrongs. If i say, “we live 5 miles from Walmart, she’ll say, “we actually live 4.75 miles from Walmart.”

2. She’ll answer questions that she has no first hand knowledge of as if she’s an expert.
