Annoying little habits ?

@judimahoney Once again you made me laugh although there is absolutely nothing funny about your husband wanting to keep you apprised of his daily bowel movements. I agree we have to choose our battles, but my God, there are so many of them. And so many strange quirks. At night, my husband moves his plate around and around to position the food, then destroys it cutting into every finite piece like a time-consuming project. By the time he gets through all of that, it's cold. Then the sun starts to go down, I suggest an evening walk - NO, it's too dark. One drop of rain, he wants to hibernate in the house. He doesn't have any desire to take a trip, absolutely no flying although I can't blame him with everything going on in planes right now! Now I'm noticing a - not so good - smell in his mouth. I have to book a dental cleaning for him, and I'm not sure how that's going to go down. Best, Karla

Mine does the same thing! Wants to share his bathroom habits with me. He asked me to come "look" the other day. Huh-uh. No thank you. TMI.

He also started swishing the liquid in his mouth whether it be coffee, soda, Ensure. So strange. 🙃
