Upset about new top

I bought what I thought was a lovely new top, it’s black, fluffy and sleeveless. DH thinks I look like Betty Rubble from the Flintstones and keeps saying Yabba Dabba Do every time I enter the room.

I don’t think this is funny but he won’t stop laughing. I said he is offending me and I find his comments hurtful but he said it’s too funny to stop.

I refuse to change my top but I think he is unreasonable? I can’t listen to Yabba Dabba Do anymore or be called Betty

We’re going to need to se the top, because Betty wore a blue dress not a black one so what’s he on about?

@thisoldcity i 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hilarious

Why would you post laughing emojis when someone has posted about something that hurt them?

Betty Rubble was cute.

I know a fair few men who admit they had a childhood crush on Betty Rubble 😉

Depends what the top looks like really. Let’s see it!

That sounds a bit like my dh's sense of humour as well, though he wouldn't repeat a joke like that. He once told me Coco the Clown had been on the phone and wanted his trousers back when I wore a rather lovely pair of wide legged brightly coloured trousers. I didn't wear them again as his comment completely ruined them for me, so I know how you feel.

Also, you’re not upset about your new top - you’re upset about your husband being a bit of an arse.
Luckily mine isn’t an arse all the time

Kind of funny. Are you really offended and hurt or just annoyed at his (funny) stupidity?

GeorgeClooneyshouldhavemarriedme · 06/09/2025 14:03

Hands up everyone who just googled Betty Rubble!

CalmlyOscarcalmly · 06/09/2025 14:02

I think we might be married to the same man.

We need a photo Op . . .

I’d think it was funny. However, if you’ve asked him to stop, then he ought to stop.

CalzoneOnLegs · 06/09/2025 14:01

Betty rubble wears a blue dress though

Fatiguedwithlife · 06/09/2025 14:00

That made me chuckle.
let’s see it?
