If your SO wanted to embarrass you, all they would have to do is mention your habit of...

You know, thinking about this, it seems that really the only times in my life I have ever been embarrassed were over something I had done or said myself. I don't ever recall being embarrassed by someone else.

Oh, where to begin?

Sometimes I pick food out of my teeth with a rigid piece of paper (something like one of those subscription cards that falls out of magazine).
Perhaps my obsessive organizing and reorganizing of the contents of the dishwasher (for maximum efficiency!)
Sitting in my chair in the living room for practically the whole weekend.

The pillowcase is probably the most embarrassing.

oh puh-leeeze. I'm a mess compared to you any day of the week!

My wife hates it when I clean out my ears with the car key. And she is always criticizing me for not loading the dishwasher properly. Gee, I wish I could sit around the entire weekend. I never sit down the entire weekend except to smoke cigarettes outside or eat dinner. Hmm, my wife generally sits on the couch all weekend watching TV and looking at mail order catalogs.

What do you do on weekends (besides cleaning your ear with the car key)?

Work on the yard, fixing things in the house, taking cats to the vet, cleaning litter boxes, doing other projects on the house, getting my wife Starbucks coffee and Subway sandwiches, shampooing carpet where a cat has puked, etc. It never ends. Last weekend was putting up all the Halloween decorations and lights.

The vet takes up major time. It's 45 minutes each way driving time, then usually an hour in the office, etc. After that I don't feel like doing anything. Sometimes I try to sneak in a nap if I think my wife won't catch me.

I rarely watch TV. My wife watches Foxnews day and night which bores me. Occasionally I'll catch a movie early on Sunday morning before she wakes up. I'm not a sports fan so I could care less about watching football and other nonsense on the weekends. Total waste of time.

It sounds as though your wife doesn't do anything around the house?

picking my lip?

I dunno....

sleep talking?

sleep talking?

I don't think he's noticed it... yet.

I cannot say. I'm embarrassed just thinking about it.

She cleans, does dishes, vacuums 2500sf daily, does laundry (not mine though), takes care of feeding the cats, sits outside smoking cigs, etc. Keeps her busy. She takes the weekend off to relax. Actually, going outside to have a smoke is the only time she sets foot outdoors except going to a doctor or hair appointment.

So both of you are very busy people.

> So both of you are very busy people.


Yeah. Typical day for me: get up around 6:30, get ready for work, give cats meds, stop at fast food for breakfast burrito and coffee, drive 53 miles to work, spend all day at desk, then 53 miles back home. Usually requiring a stop at a pet store or a grocery store on the way home. Stop at Starbucks on the way home to get wife a vente green tea frappicino no whipped cream. Get home 6:30pm, feed the fish, hang out with the cats awhile, go get the mail, drive to grocery store to buy cigarettes and whatever else needed, go get dinner which sometimes means two different places if I don't like what my wife wants. Eat dinner, take out the garbage, give different cats an assortment of meds and vitamins, feed ailing cats special foods, scoop out all the litter boxes (takes 30 minutes), clean up hairballs, take one cat out of his cage for supervised play (he doesn't like other cats), sometimes run back to grocery store if wife wants ice cream, smoke cigarettes in between all this. Then, OMG it's midnight and better go to bed so I can start another lovely day.

And, throw in vet and doctor appointments in there at least once a week.

Jeezuz, can we narrow it down a bit...anything that would bother her and she tells anyone about it but trys to make it sound like it's funny when it really isn't. She doesn't see the faces contorted into 'omg' looks. The looks are for me because I'm getting a bit steamed.
It might have to do with my habits of leaving pairs of shoes all over the house. I take them off when I come in, both doors, or I will hcange shoes or slippers in the middle of the kitchn. I change my foot wear alot sometimes during the day. My Mary figured out I do it the worst when I'm really stressed out.
Or it might have to do with the dirty dishes I leave in the sink because I'm busy during the day doing thousands of tasks at a time.

First of all, a SO is wrong in trying to embarrass their SO. When you love someone you put your SO's feelings before your own. I'd never want to embarrass anyone, let alone a loved one..

My SO would not dare, because I got more on him than he does me.

LOL, I just asked my SO and he says 'farting'.

a funny shake, tremor, noise at the point I fall asleep.............

My habit of...snorting when I laugh (sometimes)
