Husband gave me inappropriate birthday present in front of MIL

AIBU to suggest that knowingly allowing me to open skimpy lingerie in front of my MIL was a big no no by my Husband? I have never wished the ground would open up and swallow me like I did with this. It’s three days on and I am still cringing. He hasn’t even acknowledged this and just says she isn’t a prude and knows what happens in relationships!

I really don’t see the problem. It wouldn’t have bothered me in the slightest if my mother in law had been there if I’d been given some nice underwear to open. To still be worrying about this three days later is something of an over reaction! 😆😆

Bit cringey, but I would let it go.

Unless, that is, he makes a habit of flaunting your private lives to his mum. But I live @OhTheProblemIsDefinitelyMe ‘s answer 😂

I was once at a birthday party where the woman presented her husband with a very large naked photo of herself! Count yourself lucky 😉

Ask him how he expects to get any action whilst your wearing them when all they will make you think of is his mother! 😂
