I love my husband alot and that's why I'm concerned. He's got a nervous habit where he twirls a little stick or a paper roll between his fingers.. all day!!! I know that there are bigger problems in the world and I'm grateful to have a great marriage. And, sure, it doesn't cause any serious harm... but it is such a nuisance! He used to do it only when he was stressed or working hard (he's a programmer) but now he does it all the time. I realize that the purpose of nervous habits is to reduce nervous tension (and perhaps provide some degree of self-stimulation, like nail biting, or when girls twirl their hair) ... but it looks horrible and it's very distracting!! He's a brilliant, young, wonderful person and having this stupid habit just doesn't suit him. HOW DO I GET HIM TO STOP?? I've asked him about it and his response is what a typical man would say... leave me alone. Or, it makes me feel good so none of your business.
HELP.
