Getting excessively annoyed when husband leaves stuffing (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overeating

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stuffing' is the definition.
('overeat' can be a synonym of 'stuff')

'getting excessively annoyed when husband' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'excessively' could be 'over' and 'over' is located in the answer.
'when' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'leaves' acts as a link.
