Husband keeps breaking stuff unintentionally. What does your spouse do that drives you up the wall?
Heads up, I am partially looking for advice and partially starting a thread for people to vent about the things their husband/wife does that drives them crazy.
When you get married to someone, it’s almost a guarantee that your spouse will have some habits that annoy you to no end or make you angry. Mine, for example, keeps breaking things out of carelessness. He’ll break the blender by not making sure it’s fixed into the slot properly before turning it on or by shaking it while it’s running. He’ll break vases while moving a table they’re sitting on without taking them off first. He’ll spill something on a rug despite me telling him that he’s put something in a very precarious position and to be careful. Some are genuine accidents that couldn’t have been prevented or foreseen but a lot of them are things that I’ve repeatedly told him not to do and he still continues to do them. The appliances that I’ve managed to keep in perfect condition for 5 years will almost always break in his hand. He keeps saying that it’s because I buy cheap stuff but he’s broken more expensive stuff that we bought on his insistence (at the end of the day, the quality doesn’t matter if you’re not using it right) as well. His expensive car on the other hand, he will swerve out of the way to not drive over a pothole, get it regularly washed and waxed, etc. I feel like he doesn’t have respect for anything that he views as cheap. I understand that a $50K car doesn’t exactly compare to a $50 blender but he doesn’t really have money to throw away on replacing everyday items repeatedly because he keeps breaking them.
He does the same with food. I have an issue with food being wasted so I’ll only ever get as much as we need. He on the other hand will throw out food that’s not cooked fresh. By that, I mean that he won’t eat something cooked from the day before even if it’s perfectly good to eat.
im at a loss for what to do because I’ve spoken to him about it multiple times and he says he’ll be more careful but we ultimately end up in the same place. Please feel free to share advice and things about your partners that bother you.

I understand what you are going through ..
i have a spouse who does the similar things......... his STUFF is take care of but things that are ours or mine will be broke ruined or lost........ I have a hard time understanding that attitude as well ......... it is about simple respect........ i have spoken with him many many times but he pretends he does not see what i am talking about......
another item is he has a very responsible job but when it comes to things to be done at home he procrastinate for weeks.
