My Husband is Annoying

OK, guys. You've found the girl of your dreams. The chemistry is good, the conversation is enthralling and you think you're the perfect match.

Just one tiny problem: She keeps a blog of all your annoying habits.

Welcome to the world of "My Husband is Annoying," one New York woman's account of her husband's irritating traits.

He knows about the blog, and doesn't mind. In this NY Daily News piece, he calls it "kind of a tribute to all husbands."

But some readers don't get it.

The aforementioned article attracted a mixed bag of online comments. Some readers praised the blog, while others made statements like this:

"Married women have no right to make a fool of their husbands in public. These stupid women are the reason for so many divorces - you don't treat your husband like a dog and expect him to stick around and take it."

Thing is, the blog doesn't target deep character flaws or physical grotesqueness. It's just tiny quirks that affect every relationship, like not knowing how to work the remote control.

If you're a good sport about it, something like this could enhance a relationship. But if taken too far, it could also ignite a breakup.
