To think this Crimbo card might be a bit too soppy for my boyfriend??

[HooverPissingOutDust]

So I'm full of woman-flu, feeling like shit, really can't be arsed to go out so my mum kindly offers to pick me up whatever I want from shop. Stupidly, I ask her to buy me a card for my boyfriend "something nice, not too OTT, nothing jokey - just a nice Christmas card please" I said.

Well bless her, she's come back with a nice card, black and white picture on the front of a couple walking in the snow - nice and glittery - but I think it's a bit too soppy! I don't want to freak him out!

It's one of those "To the one I Love" cards. Inside it says "with all my love at christmas and for the days yet to be, thanks for all the happiness your love has given me". I've only been with him 6 months!!

It is a close relationship though, he stays with me 4 nights of the week and we are very lovey dovey but AIBU in thinking this card is OTT and might freak him out?

And I know it's a trivial thing to go on about and blokes don't tend to analyse verses in cards but still, don't want him thinking his bunny is in danger or that I want to be marching up the aisle anytime soon!

you have 13 days left to buy a card - why would you send some one else?

Because I'm working 13 hour shifts for the rest of this week and going away next week

It does sound a bit much. I would make a joke of it, like write "I didn't buy this card xx" inside it.

Woman flu is just flu isn't it? Chrimbo is a hideous word. That aside,send it if you think it'll do & you really won't have time until Christmas to pick another. Would you like a card picked by his mum?!

Sorry,that was most unseasonable of me. I sounded an utter bitch,sorry!

moonpig?

Yes to moonpig..

Funky pigeon?

if you want to marry him it's fine, otherwise it's too soppy

Cut through the schmaltz by using inappropriate and offensive nicknames for addressing and signing the card. He might think you chose it deliberately.

P.S can you trust your mum not ask him if he liked the card she chose?
