Don’t marry a woman who insists on putting pointless extra stuff on the bed Wink

PatricksRum · 22/01/2019 00:15

Ditto OP!

HelenaDove · 22/01/2019 03:15

Reminds me of Along Came Polly when they were destroying all the cushions.

Parthenope · 22/01/2019 06:47

I’m with Judge — ‘decorative’ bed pillows and both hideously fussy-looking and really annoying to negotiate in order to get into bed.

^^ This. He is telling you that 'you wanted these pointless bloody things you deal with them' - I have never met or even heard of a man who is interested in cushions or even thought about buying them.

Makes a shit cup of tea. Who wants to spend a lifetime drinking weak, watery shite or being the only one on tea duty?

As an aside, I tried to do the whole decorative bed thing. The cushions just ended up in a pile in the corner of the room because we couldn't be arsed to make it all fancy every day.

Ditch the pillows and cushions, not the husband, I get so annoyed when we stay in holiday cottages and hotels with all this unecessary clutter on the bed. We shove them in the bottom of the wardrobe for the duration of the stay.

MotherOfMinions · 22/01/2019 08:42

I'm on your DH's side! They're pointless and annoying. I'd do the same!

ShatnersWig · 22/01/2019 08:44

"Decorative" bloody pillows and cushions. Seriously, what is the bloody point? Do you have lots of visitors wandering your house like a National Trust property going "Oh wow, look at that stunning bed with those stunning pillows and cushions!"

A bed needs as many pillows as its occupants need to rest their heads on. It needs no extra "decorative" pillows or cushions which just get in the bloody way.

No, I'm not the OPs husband but I feel his pain.

DollyWilde · 22/01/2019 08:46

I don’t mind people who don’t like cushions on the bed.

I do mind certain people (ahem, DH) who gets into bed, chucks off the cushions and then folds a pillow in half behind his back to prop himself up.

ITS LITERALLY WHAT THE CUSHIOMS ARE THERE FOR STOP FOLDING OUR PILLOWS

Thank you for that Grin

Nothisispatrick · 22/01/2019 08:51

I’m on your DH’s side. If you want loads of prissy decorative crap on the bed you deal with it at night.

ShatnersBassoon · 22/01/2019 08:58

I'm with your husband. Ornamental pillows are preposterous. Where do you expect him to put the clutter when he wants to get in bed?

elQuintoConyo · 22/01/2019 09:04

Use the pillows to make a wall down the centre of the bed Grin

Don't marry a man who either refuses to spoon you, or insists on being the little spoon.

MawkishTwaddle · 22/01/2019 09:08

My poor DP nearly broke his neck tripping over discarded cushions on his way for a night-time wee the other night.

But I like them. They’re cosy, and I like to prop myself up like a Dowager Duchess.

TheSerenDipitY · 22/01/2019 10:22

wtf is he meant to put them, if he throws them on the floor you will hit the fucken roof, so he nicely places them there for you to put somewhere safely, hes being considerate... to you and your little decorative pillows

Sexnotgender · 22/01/2019 10:23

I’m with your husband. Don’t put pointless shit on the bed.

Bet it was your choice to get them.

TheSerenDipitY · 22/01/2019 10:23

btw this should be in AIBU so we can all take the piss out of decorative pillows

Lioness5 · 22/01/2019 10:31

JudgeRulesNutterButter 😂 perfect comment

KlutzyDraconequus · 22/01/2019 10:38

I got yelled at by my ex wife once about the decorative pillows.
I wasn't well so ent up to bed early and put the TV on to watch a film and doze etc.
In fairness, she brought me a cuppa, then went batshit cause I was using a couple of 'her' small square pillows to rest my head on,
"They're not Pillow pillows, they're decoration pillows"

Since then I carefully moved all 5 of them to her side and just used my old fashioned proper pillow.

Parthenope · 22/01/2019 18:53

Also, when I was a chambermaid, the 'decorative' cushion covers and throws were never washed between guests unless they were really soiled, so they were pretty rancid. The first thing I do on entering a hotel room is to take all that crap off the bed and shove it in the bottom of the wardrobe out of the way.
