Maybe it's because we've been married over a decade. Maybe it's because, more or less, we've been together for over TWO decades. Whatever the case, something so insignificant--and, in reality, a good thing--that my husband has begun doing in recent weeks is DRIVING ME MAD.
He started drinking more water. Seriously: THAT'S IT. But . . . our place is small, and I feel like he is CONSTANTLY going to the fridge, leaving the door open while he pours refrigerated water into a glass, standing there and gulping it down (The sound some people make when swallowing liquids has gotten on my nerves since I was a child--so this is not new.), refilling the cup, or refilling the container in the fridge . . . WHATEVER. All of it drives me crazy. It makes matters worse when he says things like, "If I weren't married, I would marry water. I LOVE water!" or simply emits an "AHHH!" after drinking yet ANOTHER FRIGGIN' GLASS OF WATER.
In terms of my reaction to hearing any or all of this, you would think someone had just scraped their fingernails down a chalkboard.
My being disturbed by something perfectly healthy makes me think there is no hope for me, in terms of how easily annoyed by humanity I am. Please make me feel better by telling me you overreact to perfectly innocent actions, too. :blushing:
