Ok - Confess one of your faults with DH

I just wanted to balance out my earlier post with saying that I know I'm not a perfect spouse, either (although it's hard to get closer to perfection....;)  ).  So, here we go - I'm going to confess something I know I do and know I need to work on to alleviate my ever-growing guilt complex.  Feel free to join in!

I tend to interrupt DH, because, lets face it - nothing is as interesting as the words that I am formulating in my head while he is talking about...  whatever he is he's talking about.  I'm working on it.

    I walk out of the room when he's talking.  Not to be mean or anything.  It's just that there's SO much to do when I get home I think of all the things I NEED to be doing.  So I'll say, "Keep talking!  I'm just running into the kitchen for a sec!  I'm listening!" and it drives him insane.

    I'm impatient and critical in my head about what he does and I know it affects the way I behave. I never criticize him or "tap my foot" in impatience but I have this internal dialogue going on like, "Why would you put jam on that waffle, now she's just going to lick the jam off and not eat the waffle - Nice Breakfast DAD!" or "why do you fold the towels that way when you know that's not how they fit in the cupboard (even though I know he could care less if they actually FIT in the cupboard).

    And I know that this internal dialogue turns external in my body language and I need to work on it.

    ... I do the same, for the same reason...  Embarrassed

    I assume that what I want is what he wants.  And that what I want is what he wants for me.  Because, obviously, my wants are logical, rational, and correct.

    I nag him all the time, and I usually have a bad attitude.  I'm really trying to be better, but it's so difficult when I come home stressed from work, I have so much to do around the house (which he doesn't help with since he's studying), and all I really want to do is sit on my fat *ss and relax.

    For some reason I feel the need to always be right or to correct him. Seeing as he had some many brothers and sisters I think he didn't get enough attention and now I have to be so far up his butt that laying in the bed with him, watching tv and playing on the computer is no paying him attention.it drives me nuts!

    I sometimes zone out when he's talking. But, I don't think he notices most times. Though, he does it to me too.
