Does the way your S/O speaks get on your nerves sometimes?

Heh, "robbing the cradle?" Not by a long shot. 24 is 24...not 14. :Q In many ways she's far more mature than most females her age. She has no desire to go hang out at the clubs "with the girls" until all hours of the morning...she sure as hell wouldn't be around if that was the case. I've kicked more than one GF to the curb for "excessive clubbing" :|

Anyway, it IS fun hearing you guys bitch about your SO's....letting the bitching and moaning continue!

those sorts of "speaking mannerisms" are the most frustrating. First, because once you notice someone doing it, that's all you can focus on, and it just builds builds builds. Second, because if you yourself notice you are doing it, it's like a slippery slope with no end in sight- the more you think about it, the more likely you are to get stuck on a "um, so like, he...". Generally I'm not so bad, but man, every once in a while, I fall into a pattern, especially when I am excited/mad/etc, and I just can't get out. I hate it!

Anyway, I understand how it got to you. Oh, the other thing...you know how there are those things that a SO says or a way that they say them that is cute when you are dating, but when you break up, are INCREDIBLY ANNOYING????

:Q Ebonics!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :Q

 

I wouldn't want to be with someone whose voice or the way he speaks annoys me in the first place. I'm usually not attracted to such person. So, the answer is no, as anyone I'm with is one who's met the criteria including speech/voice related matters.

"It's fairly subtle, and it has to do with a little raising of the pitch in the middle of a word, like 'That's so cyOOO-oote!'"

I think I know what you speak of. I don't like it either, really.

Okay, I didn't say this earlier, but this is my opinion: When one starts to note the trivial things about one's significant other and when one starts to find them annoying, it's a bad sign. It means the relationship isn't spicy anymore.

When a relationship is excellent, one hardly notices those little annoying things about the significant other; or they are willing to overlook it. The little irritating characteristics is microscopic. But once it starts to go bad, those little things are magnified and starts to get on one's skin. That's my perception.

"Sometimes when I'm asked to do something twice because I failed to do it the first time I have to try not to lash out at mrsskoorb because just for a split second it reminds me of the constant fvcking nagging my mother used to do, and I'm oversensitive to it now.

You always crack me up with your candidness, Skoorb. That runs in the English and something I like about the English folks.
