I emailed dh to ask him to buy some cheddar on his way home from work tonight, and have just received the following reply:

^"Ill get cheese on way home"

AIBU to divorce him on grounds mental cruelty by means of poor punctuation?

perhaps try Relate first?

YANBU

Kill him first, then divorce his slovenly rear end

MrsHelsBels74 · 02/05/2012 13:19

I'd be gone by the time he got home from work!

hathorkicksass · 02/05/2012 13:24

Leave the bastard.

Forthwith.

Can't you hire a hit man, then you can at least claim on his life insurance?

what's wrong with being a pedant? It just means you are RIGHT.

YANBU.

but cheese could be any kind of cheese!

Shock

maybe it was him being PA and not wanting cheddar.

He hasn't accused you of being a pedant, he's complimented you on your pedantry! Grin

What will you do if he gets Edam or Brie on purpose by mistake?

Nickelbaby - the cheese is for cauliflower cheese and macaroni cheese, and he likes those, so he has no excuse for not bringing the correct cheese. However, if he does, OnTheBottom, I shall send him out for the correct cheese and eat the brie or edam myself because I am a greedy piglet.

Punctuation was fine, SecretSparkle - but you omitted the capital letter at the start of your sentence.

Please write out the sentence correctly three times, and see me after class. Grin

Kill him and bury him under the patio, put cheese on top.

imnotmymum · 02/05/2012 14:02

Are you laughing at my pain, finnbarr? The agony of knowing that I married a man who would deliberately omit an apostrophe? ShockSad

He brought cheddar - and milk and danish pastries. I have read this thread out to him, and he says you lot are Not Nice.

Eat his share as a punishment.

finnbarr · 02/05/2012 19:05

My DH thinks he's entitled to divorce me because of my obsession love of MN!!!

SydSaid · 02/05/2012 19:08

He brought cheddar - or he bought cheddar? We need to know!

finnbarr · 02/05/2012 19:20

LOL!!
