My dh has just bought a treadmill and has gone in a huff with me because I said I was not going on the treadmill tonight. It's my birthday and kids didn't get in bed until 8. All I want to do is have a few drinks in front of the tv. It's my birthday I'm sure I deserve a night off.
I am trying to lose weight been on slimming world and wanted this treadmill. I've lost 16 pounds in 6 weeks. But I'm sure I deserve a night off.
Aibu to want a night off on my birthday.

Seona1973 · 10/03/2012 20:51

YANBU at all. Have a nice relaxing birthday night. If he's so bothered about it tell him to get on it instead

Secrecy · 10/03/2012 20:51

No. YANBU! Make sure he knows that you appreciate it though!

Happy birthday and congrats on your weight loss so far!

Don't go on the treadmill, have some wine! Enjoy!

It was my birthday yesterday and I totally ditched my exercise routine ... It's only one day a year!

He sounds like a twat. Is he a twat? Stay on the sofa - and happy birthday.

PurplePidjin · 10/03/2012 20:55

The treadmill is your birthday present from him, and you don't want to try it out?

Yabu! Walk for 30 seconds, tell him how much you're looking forward to putting it to serious use, then pour the wine.

bigTillyMint · 10/03/2012 20:59

Yeah, just walk/run for a bit and then neck down some Wine Grin

HidingInTheBathroom · 10/03/2012 21:02

It's not my birthday present he bought it for him self as well. He went on tonight and then said it was my turn to which I kindly said fuck off its my birthday and I'm watching take me out.

Now in a huff with me. Angry

He never got me any thing for my birthday just wrote a card which I had in the house for a friends child's birthday. Sad

Well done on the 16lbs Smile

I can understand why you don't want to go on it, but surely he's just wanting you to like what he's bought you?

Saying that though, he should keep it to himself really presuming he's not got the social skills of a 5 YO.

I would probably just have a quick go after I'd necked the wine (bigtilly) that's got to more fun? Grin

HidingInTheBathroom · 10/03/2012 21:05

And the card was blue for a two year old child Sad

YANBU

If your husband was on Take Me Out it would be lights out - all out. No gift and he's in a mood with YOU? Tell him you like the treadmill but he's being a chump.

catgirl1976 · 10/03/2012 21:07

Your DH........

No likey :(

Happy birthday - enjoy your wine - YANBU

bubbles1112 · 10/03/2012 21:08

I'd be the one in a huff if my dh gave me a 2 year olds boy card and no present! Yanbu tell him he's a div!

Goawaybob · 10/03/2012 21:11

He is in a sulk because you wont go on the treadmill??? OMactualG! Is this serious?? Is he a control freak? does he make negative comments about your weight? He is a cunt

bigTillyMint · 10/03/2012 21:13

OK then, just neck the Wine!

HidingInTheBathroom · 10/03/2012 21:27
