My h didn't want a plane  ( probably because he hadnt thought of that one) but was obsessed with buying a boat  ;D 
Then he decided he was going to buy a see doo. Never happened...

my kids and I got really good at nodding and smiling ;)

Adding to the list:

Early in the crisis

-Very juvenile behavior and lingo.
-constantly talking about himself and very boastful.
- delusions of grandeur.
-paranoia
- hyperactive and fidgety
- deceitful and big stupid ridiculous liar
-extremely bad memory

Then came:

Constantly sick
Moments of self doubt and worry
Problems sleeping
Puppy monster behavior
weird fad diets  and over exuberance about trendy super foods and power vitamins. All short lived.
Obsession with house music and has fantasies of being a dj.
-  bad memory, although getting better

I can go on and on , but Ill  stop now.

Great thread!!!

Hi Jagger,

I can SO relate to almost all you said - sadly!!!

Mine has developed such ridiculously expensive taste too. It's laughable as he's so broke!

Wait!! Night sweats?? I never realized this was part of it. Why would that be so? Mind had horrific night sweats. And tapping feet.. Always tap, tap, tapping

Decreasing testosterone.  Andropause. 
Men can potentially suffer exactly the same symptoms as women do at menopause. 
Think from memory 30% men suffer night sweats.

Yep, night sweats, buckets of it. Pillows and quilts disposed off and replaced frequently as a result. Pongy stuff!

Mine may not have wanted to buy a plane but he treated himself to a trip on a stunt plane. ::) Now wants to do a parachute jump. ::).

I'm quite happy with the answer to the night sweats thingy. Low testosterone fits in nicely with my own little fantasy.. of him having a (not so) 'hard' time being intimate..
Thanks. That made me smile :)

The odour is something else, JB!! Never smelled anything like it.

He used to go to bed before me and I used to have to make it clear to him not to move to my side. Many a night I got into bed with the top of the quilt being saturated with sweat! BARF!!!!!!
His pillows stunk and he was well aware of it!

I'm VERY disappointed I'm the only one with H who wanted a plane! I don't want to be the odd one out. He he. That means he's even more weird than the rest of them put together ;0)

X

I have lurked here for a LONG time, but just had to pop in and reply to this.

My Husband wanted to buy an antique stunt plane and make a living doing air shows. (Nevermind that he had never flown ANY plane!)

While I'm at it, one of the "reasons" he gave at BD (1/12) was "You never fill the SALT SHAKER!" They are all batsh1t crazy!

Well my W did not want to buy a boat but she told me two days after BD that she was going to get a rich man and live on a boat!! Then an old man. Oh and then an ugly man because good looking men are @$$holes. I took that as a compliment. These choices were all disclosed within 5 minutes of each other.......an old ugly rich man on a boat.....I bet she is affairing down with black beard the pirate!!

Not filling the salt shaker? I am appalled at that, Mi!!
I am afraid you fail at being a domestic goddess!!!
