...The most annoying person I know. Like when we're watching a movie or a show that neither of us has seen before and he asks me questions:
Him: "why's he doing that?"
Me: "Dunno"
Him: "that doesn't make sense. Why's he doing that?"
Me: "like I said, I dunno"
Him: "but...."
Me, interrupting: "I DO NOT KNOW. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THIS TOO. Perhaps if you quit asking me questions we'd both know what was going on".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes he can be....
The bestest husband in the whole wide world:
I'm knitting some lace at the moment using an antique pattern I found. The needles I'm using for it are tiny little aluminum things (aluminum makes lace knitting easier for me for some reason) but they're long. So long that they tap my elbows and get caught up in my sleeves and shirts. I was looking at them earlier and asked him if he thought he could tweak them for me.
Him: "sure. Hand one here..."
Me, handing over a needle: "...you could do it tomorrow when I'm at the conference.."
Him: "hand me your jewellery pliers for a sec"
Me, handing over said pliers: "...that way they'd be done and ready for me to knit with tomorrow night.."
Him, having wrenched the end off the needle and preparing to use the wire cutters on said pliers to butcher it: " how long do you want this? That look about ok? Cool."
*snip*
"Done. Hand me the other one so I can make them even"
Me: "you really didn't have to do this now..."
*snip*
Him, handing back both needles, now perfectly shorter: "you might wanna put a dab of glue on the end of that one, it's a bit loose"
Me: "you're the perfect husband, did I ever tell you that?"
Him: "every freakin' day. Go knit your lace, you're making me blush".
Contrary to what you're thinking, I wouldn't want him to be the man in the latter scenario all the time. First of all, it'd be boring, and secondly, it wouldn't be him. Part of the reason I love him is BECAUSE he asks me questions during movies and shows neither of us have seen before. The fact that he can do tweak things like knitting needles and cook killer pizzas is just bonus material. The Dave I know and love is inherently a scenario one type man, and that's precisely WHY I love him.
He's never really liked our cat. He says that she sheds white fur all over his stuff, and whilst I argue that it's not ALL over his stuff, I do acquiesce that SOME of her fur gets on SOME of his stuff.
As I write this, he's sitting in his recliner with his PSP at arms' length, playing a game.....whilst the cat that he professes to detest is sitting on his lap, briskly making biscuits on his belly.
*sigh* ...man, do I love him.....
