Is there anything you won't blog about?"Mark has veto power over the blog, so if there's ever anything he feels is too private to be shared with the world, he'll let me know. For the most part though, we're pretty open about who we are, flaws and all."
You guys are one of the few couples today who didn't "shack up" before marriage. Do you think he'd be less "annoying" if you had?
"No, Mark would definitely still be just as annoying if we lived together before we got married. It's just innate in him to be annoying."
What do you hope other couples take away from My Husband Is Annoying?
"No relationship is perfect and we're all pretty annoying. We just have to find the person who'll put up with our annoying traits.
"Also, I think people -- especially newlyweds -- pretend far too often that everything is great: Their spouse is great, their job is great, etc...
"I'm not a big fan of pretending so I'm putting it out there that my husband, while great, is annoying."
We know why you find him annoying. Now why do you love him so darn much?
"I love him because of his wacky, offbeat sense of humor; because he's one of the smartest people I know and also one of best people I know.
"But mostly I love him because he totally gets me, loves me for exactly who I am and no matter how annoying I may be, he'd never write a blog about it!"
We had to check in with Mark on that one, and he agrees: "The cool thing about our relationship is we enjoy each other's dorky quirks and laugh together about them. That's why I like the blog."
"I've got quirks," he says. "Whether Tiffanie does or doesn't, I'm afraid I'm bound by an agreement with her not to speak about that, and in exchange I get to veto any pictures I find too horrible even for the Internet."
Tell us! How does your husband annoy you?

When I read the article,there were no specific reasons why the fellow was
annoying. It left out many details. What I read was an outline ,or more of an
introduction as to how this couple was connecting long distance.

Widows...my hubby and I used to pretend-argue because we never really argued (eventually we did, sure). We got so good at it and quit laughing out loud about it, and people started thinking it was real and our relationship was in trouble. I still have wonderful memories of telling him to "kiss my butt" and him saying "bring it"...and he was very annoying. But he loved me and I never doubted it for a second. I'd give anything to have him bothering the crap out of me again.

Oh and my husband is super annoying. His name is Clark and he wears Superman shirts. He is SUPER annoying.
He play World of Warcraft every possible moment.( even while cooking dinner)
At night when I am asleep he is waging war. Then comes to bed and snores and farts.
He will call me at school when I am teaching and tell me about the dog's poop or lack of it.
I could go on.

Deeply inside I felt like I was Tiffanie speaking about my marriage or relatinship.... well I am glad I can relate and have been related to so many that i wish I could start my own show about married couples, life after the wedding after 6 months I don't even try to mention a year because it get boring before then living together, I wish I could create my own show just to show people not to pretend that marriage is great and it's a great life, that's bull, it's too much work, it's annoying, it's boring, its sexless, no more compromises, no more I love you that doesn't sound fake, no more adventure, no such sense of humor that you had together, no apology, no such good time together and woman need to know that by me. I have had a long distance loving with a guy, marrying him in general is BORING and ANNOYING. Women who wish thet could get married tomorrow or in the future need to think about it again harder don't get me wrong I love my husband and would not live him for nothing because he's one of the most clever people I have met and hard worker but I am not a big fan of pretending that my relationship is great i tell everyone family and friends that it does suck no matter how great we are and we both get annoying at a point.

So I ask you this. You don’t think that he gets tired of you to. He has to come home to the same woman EVERY DAY. He has to have sex with the same woman EVERYDAY. I could go on with a lot more but that one sums it up. Trust me he deserves a reward just for getting married and doing that. So please don’t complain and then try and smooth it out like your something special. Just coming from a man that has been married for 16 years. And trust me your VERY ANNOYING to him to. So just get over yourself. And live a blissfull marriage.

Good grief! The lady was being FUNNY!!!!! Have you forgotten how to LAUGH???? I'll bet your wife has found you annoying for all of your 16 years of being married. If you truely feel like you should be rewarded for coming home to the same woman EVERY DAY, and having sex with the same woman EVERY DAY, just remember that SHE has to put up with the same MAN EVERY DAY, and you don't sound like a very easy person with whom to get along. Lighten up, Dan!

What a breath of fresh air! Honest. Open. No more hiding the facts~ we are all annoying, and marriage is hard. Being able to put it out there; expose the truth, is great. Even greater, your husband doesn't take offense. He seems to have a strong sense of self,and embraces all the beauty of who he is; annoying traits and all. When we can love the wholenes of ourselves, there is no reason or need for offense! A good trait for all of us to aspire to.

I think she has the right idea. She is venting with his approval. If she kept all of that in eventually it would lead to a blow out fight. Instead she is using it with humor. She also is showing everyone marriage is not easy and it takes work and compromise on both sides. She is right, when friends of mine got married they kept talking about how wonderful life is. It is hard work to learn to live your life with someone else. More people should understand that a marriage is work not this love fest. Maybe if people knew what kind of work it was going to take walking in there would be less divorce.

My spouse has ADHD so has many annoying habits. The one thing that irks me the most is that he can NEVER remember which cupboard or drawers holds silverware, plates, or spices. He has always been like that. We have moved a few times in 18 years. Each time the plates, silverware and spices are located in the same cupboards and drawers near the sink. Every day he opens all of the cupboards and drawers looking for the same utensils, etc.

This Oct. will be 26 years of wedded bliss/work/fun/sexual bliss/sexual miss, etc. We were married 10 years by choice before our first (of 2) wonderful/rotten kids were born. Here is one "honest" fact--Life together was a LOT EASIER before kids. I would not trade them for anything but for those that think having kids will automatically bring them closer together or (even worse) "save" their marriage put those fallacies in the box alongside "every year together is easier than the one before" or "the honeymoon period ends after a year or two and then it is dull, pashion-impaired reality from then on." Each day is different, and each marriage is diferent, but one truth I have found (I heard it in an interview of a couple married

HAHAHAAA!!! Loved the ADHD comment by Inkling!!! My husband and I BOTH have the ADHD / OCD / chaos problem, me more that him in certain ways and him more than me in certain ways!! Of COURSE we annoy the hell out of each other! My husband has the same which-cupboard/drawer-is-it? problem and this makes me nuts! Clean up after his own self and his coffee spills and cigarette ashes on the stove? HAR! Wash dishes? HAR! Put things back in correct drawer or cupboard? HARHAR!! Clean up after his projects around the house? HARHARHAR! On the other hand, HE has to endure MY chaos with piles of old mail and clutter and "cool stuff" I cannot figure out how to manage! I'm tellin' ya, we're hopeless!! Then add in a herd of cats flying around the house... ya HAVE to laugh after awhile or you will hate every minute of the nightmare, which of course I do...

My husband is the most wonderfully annoying person on the planet. I actually wind-up cracking up most of the time, even when I start out mad. He is just so damn funny and his sense of humor totally works for me. But, every once in awhile I have to let him that he is so damn good at being annoying that if I didn't love him - I would just have to kill him!
