Twas DP's birthday a few weeks ago and DS and I made him a cake - it fell apart a bit and was decorated by DS (pink icing, sweets everywhere, wonky candles etc) but it was actually a very nice cake as well as being heartwarming and lovely etc.
Well cue birthday evening and DP is having his mates round (we had had other bday celebrations earlier and lunch out) - one of them brings his girlfriend and she has made this uber-posh cake which totally outshone my cake. Now I'm not a housewifey cake-proud type at all but it was embarrassing, we were the only two women there and it felt like some kind of village cake contest etc, DP went on and on about how fab her cake was, I seethed and felt upset on behalf of DS (though he was in bed! )
Well tonight he is going out with his mates to a gig, I was invited but felt like a night in. The same woman comes round this evening to get a lift with my DP (her boyfriend is in the band) and they sit in the kitchen and DP starts up again about her FRIGGING CAKE and how it was so amazing and the best cake he's ever tasted, blah blah blah de blah. Lying bastard! Meanwhile I am taking out the bins, doing various chores etc and our friend only turns to me to ask me some polite questions about DS. These friends are a lot younger than us, oh also did I mention this woman is stunningly beautiful and stylish, and I just felt a thousand years old, boring, frumpy, furious with DP, FURIOUS with myself for getting competitive over a CAKE and just basically a complete and utter saddo.
I don't think there's anything going on or anything, I don't not trust DP, but I do think he probably fancies her a bit and was sucking up to her.
Sorry this is so long and blimmin pointless and trivial, just needed a rant, if anyone wants to join me in a glass of red wine I'm off to get it.
