If your Dh owned this coat, would you make it mysteriously ‘Disappear’

I hate it!

He has lots of lovely clothes, new coat this winter, but always pulls this horror out. A hillbilly, scruffy, donkey jacket.
I realise it’s up to him what he wants to wear and he’s a grown man and it would be wrong for it to mysteriously‘Disappear’

But…would you make this coat mysteriously disappear?

No. I wouldn't make it disappear and nor should you. I'd be beyond furious if my DH did that to something of mine. 😠

I don't see what's wrong with it. It's not a style I would personally choose but if he likes it then it's surely fine? I actually quite like it.

Personally, I really don't care that much about the clothes or coats that my DH wears and he barely notices mine either. That's how it should be.

@Boing98 Oh ffs, slightly dramatic…I’m not abusive or controlling, I just have aversion to this coat

I agree! Not abusive or controlling OP. I've "hidden" an awful item of clothing my husband wears. He burst out laughing when he found it. I also stopped wearing a coat he didn't like so fair is fair!

Lentilweaver · 20/11/2024 15:51

I just grit my teeth. He WFH so has definitely got much scruffier. I have a deep aversion to a couple of his shirts but I wont throw them out ( though I could probably get away with it).

DecayingRelic · 20/11/2024 15:51

oooh that looks warm I would wear that

Allfur · 20/11/2024 15:50

It looks quite cosy

Singleandproud · 20/11/2024 15:50

No, I'd call him 'Del boy' everytime he wore it though.

Allthegoodnamesarechosen · 20/11/2024 15:50

Men do seem to get attached to (fearsome) ancient garments. DH also has many lovely clothes but favours a rather grubby Aran sweater. ( I dread how it would dry…)

He doesn’t get any dinner when he is wearing it though.

microwoods · 20/11/2024 15:50

I actually quite like it 😂 but yes I have thrown a couple of bits away before, namely scruffy trainers that he won't get rid of!

ShabbaRankz · 20/11/2024 15:50

It will come back into fashion one day. No id not make him get rid of it. Thats wrong

@ClaudiaWankleman I do that 😂but he digs it out

I wouldn't do it but I'd want to... much like my DHs beret which often gets pushed to the bottom of the hats/scarves basket. It was found again recently and tragically appears to have been a delicious snack for a moth. (hasn't stopped him wearing it though ffs).

I’d put it away at the back of the wardrobe and position all nicer coats in front of it.

Luckymoo · 20/11/2024 15:49

Yabu I’d be furious if dh threw away or hid things from my closet.

Lentilweaver · 20/11/2024 15:49

My DH has about 10 really old scruffy shirts. I am tempted to throw them out but I don't.

username358 · 20/11/2024 15:48

Del Boy? I wouldn't make it disappear, no.

WonderfulUsername · 20/11/2024 15:47

Would I try to control what clothes another adult chooses to wear?

No of course not.

I'm surprised you have to ask.

WinWhenTheyreSinging · 20/11/2024 15:47

I would undoubtedly want to make it disappear, but no I wouldn't. I don't ask my husband's permission/approval of what to wear (and certainly don't look an oil painting all the time LOL), so I grit my teeth and bear his worst bits.

Except when he comes downstairs in e.g. checked trousers and striped shirts. Then I send him back to get changed. 😂

Boing98 · 20/11/2024 15:47

No, because I'm not abusive or controlling.

usernamesareharddamnit · 20/11/2024 15:46

No, because that would be nasty. I understand the temptation though.

Beebumble2 · 20/11/2024 15:46

I’d give to someone with a cat or dog, it would make a cosy bed.
