Newyears eve gathering ended in tears

Hi Ladies,

I'll get straight to the point, me and my husband have a pretty funny relationship where we tend to embarrass each other and play practical jokes on one another.
It sounds really immature but its just between us and I think it makes us closer.

A few weeks ago he pranked me at home and the end result was I got talcum powder in my hair, it washed out but my hair felt weird and I'm sure smelled funny for days. I was a bit pissed at this and vowed to get him back on new year.

On NewYears Eve it was only my 3 sisters, my hubby and myself. As the night went on we all got a little tipsy and I mentioned the talcum powder thing to my sisters.
They suggested it would be good to give him some payback now.

When he came back in my sister told him to stand and close his eyes, my other sister made a gesture like she was about to knee him in the goolies as if to say "how OTT would it be if I done this". I laughed and went along with it by pretending to kick him really hard. It was all ok until my heel came off and hit him right in the crown jewels.

He doubled over to the ground with his hands on his crotch and looked to be in lots of pain. I'm sorry to say me and my sisters burst out laughing and found it hilarious, now my hubby thinks I deliberately kicked him in the groin and hates me and my sisters for laughing at him. Was it unreasonable to laugh and is he being unreasonable saying as it was a semi-accident? I mean it couldn't have hurt that much surely.

Think you need to both grow up to be honest....

MissyMooandherBeaverofSteel · 03/01/2013 21:29

You find your DH doubled over in pain hilarious? Confused

CreepyLittleBat · 03/01/2013 21:29

You found it hilarious that your dh was in lots of pain? Hope you kept the receipt for that sense of humour....

Brideandgloom · 03/01/2013 21:30

It's all bollocks surely?

browniebear · 03/01/2013 21:30

I would imagine it would hurt a lot actually but given the kind of relationship you have where your always playing tricks on each other he's a bit dim for standing there with his eyes closed. He should of known something was up

Tweasels · 03/01/2013 21:30

Really Hmm

Mrsrudolphduvall · 03/01/2013 21:31

First post.
Hmm

gordyslovesheep · 03/01/2013 21:32

gosh I am not suprised it was just you and his sisters on NYE - sat in, playing 'jokes'

Sparklingbrook · 03/01/2013 21:32

Why have you waited until now to tell us this?

MrsKeithRichards · 03/01/2013 21:33

erm... it always ends in tears!

BarredfromhavingStella · 03/01/2013 21:33

Practical jokes between consenting adults = funny
Practical jokes where someone gets hurt = not at all amusing & why the fuck would you laugh?

You should also be worried as that's one in the bank for your DH I'd think Hmm

namchan · 03/01/2013 21:34

Anything that starts 'Hi ladies' gives me the Hmms tbh

complexnumber · 03/01/2013 21:37

I thought the usual MN response in these situations was to reverse the genders and then ask if it would be so funny.

HelenOwen10 · 03/01/2013 21:39

Me and my sisters just found it funny, what would you have done?

Married someone who didn't talc my hair.

McNewPants2013 · 03/01/2013 21:41

It wasn't funny at all.

GreenyEyes · 03/01/2013 21:41

I believe this to be totally and utterly 100% true. Honestly.

MumVsKids · 03/01/2013 21:41

Yawn Hmm

McNewPants2013 · 03/01/2013 21:42

Me and my sisters just found it funny, what would you have done?

I would of been very sorry and filled with guilt, i don't find people in pain very funny at all.

HecatePropolos · 03/01/2013 21:43

Have you posted before under different names about stuff like this? I am sure I remember similar threads about a, erm, young seeming couple who play practical jokes and then one or other of them has an attack of the mardys and it ends up in a big row.

HelenOwen10 · 03/01/2013 21:44

Why is this site so hostile seriously, you all seem miserable.

I would have got my heel fixed back on Grin

That. Exactly that. Very hard to take seriously a single word of this nonsense but the 'Hi Ladies' is just the icing on top of a singularly putrid cake.

MissyMooandherBeaverofSteel · 03/01/2013 21:47

Maybe when first time poster comes on with a 'hi ladies' and proceeds to tell us how their DH doubled over in agony is hilarious we have slight trouble taking it seriously...
