If you could change one thing about your SO

ONE.
1.
Uno.
If you could wave a magic wand and change one thing about your SO, what would it be?

It can be deep or not-so-deep. Emotional or physical. Whatevs.

[flex]

His crankiness.

[iamgrace]

He would care more about his nose hair. As in, trim it without me bitching at him.

[cbwm1]

For him to learn how to communicate. He's so fucking afraid of conflict and confrontation (his parents had a very nasty divorce and it scarred him) and after 9 years of being with him, I still have NO CLUE how to read him.

[wanderlust]

I think my husband was born without the supportive gene. It is like he wants to be supportive but he just doesn't know how. . . . or something.

[eightangryreindeer]

Mine is that he would be magically 40 again.

[dcannie]

his buying habits.

[Vally]

taller

[milosh]

His self esteem. That, or I wish I could change all of his annoying habits.

[hubes]

I'd give him something to struggle with so he could be more empathetic.

[CityLights]

Communication skills.

[lkoenig]

if he could just get the fuck up in the morning, he's in a coma most mornings and it's a struggle for him to get out of bed...he's gotten better since we've had the girls but it drives me a little bit insane.

[Kit]

Height and facial hair maintenance (lol)

How much he worries about stuff. Like,he will obsess over stuff that really cannot be changed and he worries too much about what other people do and think.

I second this one. I wish he didn't worry so much about stuff.

[pittsmcgee]

His procrastination

[sewf]

He wouldn't hog the bed.

[looseseal]

I wish he would vocally compliment, show appreciate, or say 'I love you.'

[lust2hart]

I would change the fact that he doesn't recognize social cues when people are getting bored listening to him. It's not that his stories are inherently boring, but he takes SO LONG telling them that people lose interest. And he doesn't recognize that eyes are starting to glaze over and people are saying "uh-huh" automatically instead of still being actively engaged in the conversation like they were 10 minutes ago.

[Nicole]

For him to be more accepting/understanding of things.

[Mrs.Beagle]

He is convinced he is right about 99% of things in the world

we may have married the same guy

[deanlicker78]

I would take away his inability to make fucking phone calls. He hates using the phone. If he could text everyone in the world, he would.

[pseudoagain]

His laser-focus intensity. I love that he's blunt and honest, but sometimes wish he would rein it in you know?

this is my sister's boyfriend, drives me insaaaaane, and they never know when to leave because he's still talking, GAH

[ProfessorArtNerd]

His need to overreact and freak the fuck out before reacting like a normal person. Perhaps it's his temper, I guess. Everything is a huge fucking deal/insult/inconvenience, whatever. Then he simmers down and has a normal reaction. I'd like to skip to the normal reaction. ha!

[BlackSmoke]

His leg/feet hair.

This sounds exactly like my BIL to a T.

OMG! That fits my ex-dh to a tee!!!! Jebus. It was embarrassing going anywhere with him.

[esdreturns]

I would want him to WANT to do the dishes. And then do them forever so I don't have to.

[Deleted]

his unwillingness to have sex outside.
