This is coming a bit early for me! I can't complain about the wife until Saturday.

Well maybe Monday. We deserve a couple of days of wedded bliss, right?

Breathing comes to mind, I wish she would stop!

Actually, my wife's most annoying habit is she is very soft spoken, especially around me, and I often pick up sentences midway thru and have to go "what?" I missed the first 8 words of the sentence.

Or she'll be talking about the dog for example, then suddenly say "then I think we should paint the house"

Maybe it's me and i don;t pay attention.....

My wife is very sensitive to loudness: loud music, loud TV volume, loud voices, etc. She's always telling me to turn down the TV, or to turn down the music, or telling me that I'm talking too loud. She is the only person I've ever met in my entire existence who has told me that I talk too loud.

What kills me is that while she's sensitive to loud noises, she has absolutely zero ability to hear quality. What a mean by that is from time to time, when I'm driving her car, she'll have the bass and treble on the radio all screwed up, like no bass and all treble (or vica versa), and not know it.

I really cannot fault her for anything,she is etremely easy to live with,albeit somewhat given to neatness and order.

I recall one dinner we had,my cousin ran into the kitchen and threw up in the sink which sent my wife into paroxysms of rage.

I was a little toasted so I yelled back at her"don't worry sweetie,the white wine came up with the fish".

Well, once upon a time Mistress Heather came dangerously close to getting married and i recall two "anoyances" that were brought to my attention. 1) I am a tad too neat and 2)Going out with me was like walzing with a tornado...I have lived alone ever since.

Don't worry, Plantman. All you have to remember is to say, "I'm soory and I promise to never do it again," if she's frowning. Otherwise, just smile and say, "You're right, honey!"

I heard that somewhere. Never tried it myself, but some say it works. Been married twice, both times unsuccessfully. Good luck.

We couldn't have known about the neatness here. "Waltzing with a tornado" doesn't come as a big surprise, though. It probably beats bone-crushing boredom, though.

Out of curiosity, why do you call yourself Mistress Heather?

Shopping at the Dollar store, and I swear she would buy one of everything if she had a place to store it. Bless her heart, at least she is pretty frugal most of the time. Unless we are talking about her two cats or rum.

Look a little down and you will see that Mistress Heather also shows up on Google and the site it points to is this one.
