How would you feel, if your DH bought you a bib?

Put it in the charity box stuff and drop it off next time you take stuff there.

To be honest dropping food down yourself unless you have a disability (I do and have had periods where I’ve dropped food on myself), is grim.

I’d laugh at the joke but quietly be mortified and would start making an effort to eat at the table again. Perhaps this is a good wake up call to put a bit more pride in yourself again?

Buy him a nappy

Its a joke, you drop food on yourself, he thought he was being funny, we all don't have the same humour. Just don't wear it then, it is really as simple as that. Unless he calls you a baby or makes fun of you constantly I personally don't think that is belittling giving a bib.

I love a man with a bit of banter. Suck it up and don't take it so seriously. You're lucky - he sounds fun to me!

If he likes funny jokes, then I’d go on lovehoney and buy him a nice silicone cock extender. "I’ve bought you a surprise Nigel, thought this might spice things up a bit." Only joking I know you love a good giggle!

If he calls your bluff its win win lol

Get back to sitting at the table to eat. Dropping food all over yourself must be annoying for you? I definitely wouldn't have bought the bib, I think it's mean. But I also wouldn't find a partner, who dropped food down themselves repeatedly, attractive in the long run.

Time to make some changes;

1. Get rid of the knee trays - today !!
2. turn the tv off
3. Lay the table, include beautiful linen napkins FOR YOU BOTH (dispenses with lobster bib and still saves the food going down your boobs 😂)
4. Clear the table off together and then retire to the lounge where the tv can go on and you can watch and chat all night

the next gift you get your hubby has to be a personal, funny one-he’s started something now..😂😂 Get your thinking cap on…

Id find if funny if dh did that to me and he would laugh if I did it to him. I said to him id need one for our wedding day meal as u had visions of a tomato soup splattered dress 😂

Im like you always spilling things down me ,Have a couple of white tops ,always when wearing one of course!Seriously I couldnt get worked up over this at all.DH and family always know I am a bit messy ,DM the same as well we used to tease her .She would laugh along . wouldnt die on this hill.Just dont wear it if you dont like it

Good shout and a good response to his "joke", if he likes eating in front of the TV, that you will unfortunately now have to eat at the table to avoid food spillage. Oh dear!

I wouldn't like it because I wouldn't want attention drawn to the fact I did that embarrassing thing. You're right, its not 'sexy' for an adult to do this as a regular part of eating. It does seem a little pointed so maybe a hint to brush up your table manners/skills? Or maybe he genuinely thinks it's funny. You know his character.

I think this is simply a joke to make you laugh. The hurt feels probably originating from another place which have made you not see light in the situation.

My bra is often full of crumbs when I take it off. I must be a right slob 🤣

Some of these comments make me quite sad. I sometimes drop a bit of food on myself, always have. I am quite clumsy in general. It's not like I do it deliberately. I can promise you it annoys me just as much as anyone. I can never wear light colour tops as I know they will end up stained. I didn't realise how judgemental people might be upon seeing it though. This has come as a bit of a shock to me. I mean it's not like I'm slopping gallons of sauce down my front! It might be the odd little drip or some crumbs. I try really hard not to but it just happens.

OP, you know your DH better than we do. Do you think he genuinely meant it as a (crap) joke or was it a dig? That would affect how I felt about it. But I can see why you're upset.

I often notice a blob of tooth paste on my top,usually when I'm on my way to work.

I don't think it's about the bib really, you sound really low in yourself maybe you should look at that rather than him buying you a bib.

This is the real issue. You are feeling a little insecure in your relationship and the gift didn’t paint you in a way you want to be seen by your DH. I can understand that reaction although he almost certainly doesn’t feel less attracted to you because you occasionally drip curry sauce on your ample bosom (there’s probably a scene for that to be honest 😂). I would laugh the gift off but maybe make time for some more civilised dinners (at the table); candles, nice food, dress up a bit, etc. to get you back into relationship mode not mates mode.

So you have never dropped food down your top ever? I don't believe you.

Go out for lunch with him and pull it out.

You probably need to talk to him about everything.

I get dinner down me sometimes. Perhaps I don't pay attention enough whilst I'm eating. Toothpaste too.

Not everyone. Toddlers do, obviously. Most adults can cope with eating at a table, sitting up straight and concentrating on what they are doing. I'd say it was one of the minimum requirements if you live with other people.

I tuck a tea towel into the neckband of my clothes. I'm just very clumsy. Ignore the posters saying that there must be something wrong with you, not exactly helping is it!!

My partner calls one of my tops an 'eating shirt' because I always spill things on it. I'm in on the joke though and find it funny.

I think it’s quite funny, I might get one for my DH

Your second paragraph rather undermines your first.

This.
