JFF: If you could change ONE thing about your S/O....

[gwendolyn]

I''d want him to be able to talk calmly with me when he gets angry.

Oh... get technical! I''m also 5''9 3/4''.

Too late DF. You''ve already messed with me.

I wish he was chattier and more ''touchy-feely''

He''s a real man''s man, the upside is that he''s incredibly accountable for his actions and is a real ''grown-up tough-guy''.
The downside is that he''s a ''grown-up tough-guy''! I wish he could let his hair down a bit and have more fun with me.

Lol Lara, we have the opposite problem. My SO is only 20 and is one of 6 boys, he''s the second to youngest. WHen he gets together with his younger brother, he PLAYS like nobody''s business. They found a HUGE WIRE SPOOL. I''m talking like 4 feet across, you could use it for a table! They proceeded to RUN on it, like making it spin and running along the top while it went! I nearly lost my mind. He fell, hurt his foot, and I had to take him for xrays. "Well," I said, "If you weren''t acting like an 8th grader that wouldn''t have happened."

Sometimes I wish he would just calm down, put his arm around me, and sit and be a grown up for a while.

Lol, I''m just mature for my age I think. I''ve always liked talking to the "adults" ever since I was like 16. I kind of lost my crazy playful streak a few years ago. SO does such crazy things, I feel like I''m babysitting him sometimes!

I wish he would react a bit more appropriately when I am upset about something - instead of being blunt and telling me that worrying helps nothing

Ditto. My SO is so logical. I''m very emotional. He can''t understand it lol.

 

[Feralpenchant]

Oh! And he would like diamonds and not think they''re materialistic and a waste of money.

More drive to move around and live all over the world.

And maybe add a few inches in height, too.

Haha. Ditto.

More accurately, I guess I should lose a few inches. I''m the one that''s of above-average height!

That works, too! I''m 5'' 10'' (5'' 9 3/4'' if you want to get technical) and would loooooove to be 5'' 7''. It would make his 6'' seem much taller!

Oh... get technical! I''m also 5''9 3/4''.

...technically. 5''10'' sounds cooler though.

I''m really 5''10

I wish FI were a few inches taller. He and I are the same height, but I like being tall so I wouldn''t want to change that.

 

[Patchee]

Snoring - he can sing a song with his mouth and nose!

If we have to be somewhere in 15 minutes and it''s 20 minutes away he will never get moving a bit faster! I like to be on time!

If you make a mess clean your mess! He is getting better at this ...

 

[isaku5]

Oh, I could go on and on, but probably so could he

The disagreement that is never resolved is his junk (He calls them collectibles

) taking over the basement, garage and a quarter of our backyard.

I thought that the kick in the pants in a positive way was going to be his planned retirement and sale of our larger home to move into something more retirement income-friendly, but so far not much has changed and it''s been two years.

...or yours, Karl...whatever works to make it happen

 

[kcoursolle]

I love exactly who he is, but I''d love it if he didn''t snore anymore LOL!!

 

[basil]

Fashion sense. He can be a little Urkel sometimes. He owns three pairs of shoes (work shoes, running shoes, and dress shoes). One pair of jeans and enough khakis and dress shirts to get through the week. He thinks "XL" is his size even though he''s 5''10", 160. He is such an attractive man I think he should play it up a little.

Other than that, I got a guy who answers the phone and calms me down when I freak out (irrationally) at 3:30 am that no one will sell us a puppy because we will be bad puppy-parents, so I really have nothing to complain about

I would clone him so I''d always have a back-up! LOL. Hey, we back up computer files - why not husbands?

Ask me on a bad day and I''d say - I''d take the model that didn''t leave socks on the floor. LOL.

DITTO, DITTO, DITTO!!! The socks thing drives me INSANE!!!

Fortunately, he has many redeeming qualities, so I dutifully remove the offending socks and deposit them into the clothes hamper on a daily basis.

 

[tlh]

I wish he wouldn''t blame the stink on the dog... esp when we''re in the car.. and the dog is at home.

 

[kittybean]

I would be thrilled if he liked college football a little less (okay, a lot less) and ballet a little more. The amount of time and money spent on the former is astonishing. He is amazing in so many ways, though--I''ll happily put up with his sports obsession in exchange for his wonderful other qualities.

 

[AmberGretchen]

I would love it if my DH saw more of how amazing and brilliant he is - sometimes I feel like he is just so hard on himself, and its so tough to watch, I just wish he could see what the rest of the world sees in him (including yours truly!).

 

[trillionaire]

two things. I''d add two inches, and make him propose already...

 

[Lynnie]

Can I triple his yearly salary? That''d be nice...

 

[tyty333]

I would infect him with the travel bug like I have...I love to travel and he thinks its a hassle

!

Every single guy I know does this. Why?!!!!

Mine takes them off in bed and then when I change the sheets I find 2, sometimes 3, pairs of socks all bunched up under the sheets at the foot of the bed. I find socks on the bathroom floor, in sneakers, in side the couch cushions...in my car...in my trunk...in my bag...

And then, he always complains TO ME that he can never find a matching pair of socks!!

 

[CNOS128]

If I could change one thing...
he would be the owner of a 7ct blue diamond!

And he wouldn''t sweat so much. I don''t even have a solution for the ring-around-the-collar this man creates!

Ah, yes . . . the hidden "sock surprise" at the end of the bed. That one''s a classic, and one of my all-time favorites!

 

[LGK]

The habit of his that drives me batty is, when he's irritated with me (and *only* when he's irritated with me) he calls me "sweetie". I've told him a number of times it just makes me cringe when he says it, because in that tone of voice it just sounds like, um, something else not nearly as pleasant!

Still, when I hear him start in with the "sweeties" it does tell me it's time to duck & cover. I was "sweetie" two nights ago when my mocha exploded, unbeknownst to me, all over the center console of his RX8, and I didn't notice, and it dried, and it was pouring rain out so when he cleaned it up he got soaking wet. Oops. I'm messy.

His bouncing knee also drives me to distraction. Boy has more energy than any three people- sitting down is anathema- so when he is forced to sit still, the knee bounces uncontrollably. I often have to seize it and forcibly stop the bouncing if we have to sit side-by-side in a restaurant or something. But then, the other leg starts! Ridiculous.

(Whoops that was two. Well, I've been with him for 13, or is it 14, years... guess I'm pretty used to his bad habits.)

 

[iwannaprettyone]

His father would still be alive.

 

[partgypsy]

I know I know! MAKE HIM A MORNING PERSON! Seriously this is the thing that bugs me the most.

 

[partgypsy]

But to be fair he would put too much websurfing for me including Pricescope!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Hidden sock surprise! I'm dying of laughter!!!!! I didn't see this until now! I know! I know! Why do they do this? I was reading this post and DH walked into the room -- I saw his socks on the floor when I turned around and almost fell out of my chair! SO FUNNY! For a time, I tried to train him by STEALING the socks and hiding them. I kept confiscating them until he ran out of socks. Poor guy was so confused until I told him, "Don't you know now to leave your poor socks on the floor by themselves? The sock monster comes out at night and eats them." He eventually found the stash. I should resurrect the sock monster again. Except this year, the sock monster will only eat the toe part. They'll turn up with missing parts. CSI Socks.
