Marriage is full of ups and downs. As much as we want to see nothing but the good in our partners, there’s plenty not to love, too. And yet, that doesn’t mean a marriage is all bad. Just that your spouse may get on your nerves from time to time.
Here are some incredibly annoying moments where husbands irritated their wives. And to balance it off, there are also some moments where husbands show their wives just how special they are.

“How my husband closes bread bags.”
I can absolutely see why anyone would be annoyed by this. What’s the point of closing a bread bag in a way that’s too hard to open up again? You might as well rip the bag apart at this point.
“My husband working on his Masters degree while holding one of our twin boys.”
Meanwhile, just like any parent should, this husband is finding away to balance time with his kids, and his education. This is honestly so heartwarming!
“How my husband cut this pizza.”
There’s a lot about this pizza that’s just plain wrong. Like, the way that it’s been sliced, obviously. But also the fact that it was sliced with a knife and not a pizza cutter!?
“My husband bought me flowers just because.”
Sometimes, the little things matter. In some cases, the little thing is a weirdly cut pizza that really gets on your nerves. In other cases, the little thing is a bouquet of flowers your husband got you for no special reason (other than because he thinks you’re special).
“Husband puts his coffee mug next to 2 empty coasters.”
You have to wonder if he straight up didn’t notice either coaster (which, like, how could you not?). Or if he’s simply evil. Either way, this is pretty annoying.
“My husband’s second ‘practice cake’ so he can make a really nice cake for our anniversary (never baked before).”
This is honestly such a thoughtful anniversary gift. Just because you don’t know how to do something, doesn’t mean you can’t try to learn anyway.
“‘I’m making toast!’ —my husband.”
Is… is there any reason why he needed to put multiple slices of toast in there like that? Because that seems a little passive-aggressive to me.
“My husband is staying home with our kids and dog for the next week so I can take a birthday trip to see my sister. I found this in my coat pocket as I was leaving.”
This is honestly the sweetest thing ever. I feel like a lot of moms end up feeling bad for wanting a vacation away from their kids, but this is kind of what teamwork is all about.
“My husband emptied the hair from his razor onto my makeup cleaning mat.”
So… he couldn’t clean that up? Did he think it was a garbage? Was he hoping no one would notice? Like, either way, this is a pretty inconsiderate thing to do to your wife.
“I’m 34 weeks pregnant and my husband misses cuddling with me. Since I’m too big for us to both fit on one couch, he pushed them together.”
Meanwhile, this is honestly so considerate! Pregnancy is a lot harder than people think, and little things like this can help so much!
“My husband never uses the spoon rest that I put out.”
I can almost guarantee that he doesn’t know what that spoon rest is. And yeah, OP probably told him a thousand times, and he definitely forgot every single time.
“I just realized my husband and I regularly tell each other about the dogs we see and get to pet during the day. He’s a chimney and fireplace contractor so he meets more than I do.”
It’s funny how you hear so many stories of married couples who have little in common. But this couple is totally bonding over their love for dogs, and it’s just awesome!
“When my husband gets mad at me, he puts things where I can’t reach them (I’m 5’3″). Then, he hides my step ladder.”
This is… so mean? Like, why would you intentionally move things to places where you know your wife can’t reach them, just because you got angry? Jeez.
“My husband labeled his lunch because of how big it was.”
Most of the time, having your lunch stolen at work is an absolute nightmare. But this husband decided to be thoughtful and is willing to share if someone’s hungry. So nice!
“My husband asks me to wrap my own Christmas gifts every year.”
If you aren’t good at something like wrapping presents, you probably shouldn’t ask the recipient to wrap it for you. This person’s husband should maybe find someone else to do that.
“My husband’s Christmas gift to me. We have been struggling with infertility. This gift brought me happy tears.”
I can’t imagine the kind of stress this couple must be going through, but this kind of gift still seems so kind and thoughtful. A lot more thoughtful than asking your spouse to wrap their own present.
“Husband got the lasagna back out at 9pm last night to get a second slice, forget to put it back and I didn’t find it til 10 hours later.”
Totally fine to get leftovers in the middle of the night, but how do you forget to put a whole lasagna away like that? It’s probably super stale and gross by now.
“Who would’ve thought I’d be getting Legos for my 40th Birthday? Husband did good!”
Part of being a good husband (or significant other in general) is actually knowing what your partner likes, and giving them gifts that are extra special. Like this Lego gift!
“I had to move my bookshelf, and my husband put all the books back for me…”
This is… well, this is just rough. He could’ve put the books back normally, but instead chose to do this. Now it just means his wife is going to have to clean up after him.
“My cat can’t reach her favorite toy so my husband lifts her up once a day to get a few swats in.”
This is both a thoughtful husband and pet owner. I’m sure that cat has no idea what’s going on, but still loves the fact that its human does this kind of thing.
