to think you just don't use your ex's birthday as your PIN?

Me and H recently separated over many issues, this is a minor one.

He had his ex wifes date of birth as his PIN. So every time I borrowed his bank card for whatever reason (we have joint accounts) I had to type in her date of birth. He had it on his cards when they were together, then when he split up with her, then got with me, he still had it, then he set it up on our new joint accounts.

We were together six years, and he has only just changed it, as part of his campaign to get me back. He clearly thinks I am being silly to be offended by it.

So, AIBU to be offended and annoyed, especially as I repeatedly asked him to change it and he refused?

Have you thought other people maybe experiencing the same thing and want to vent???

Anonymuz · 07/01/2022 09:35

Or pissed off

If the comments not originally for you why are you concerning yourself on how others comment feel or experience and judging people on what they are going through wasn't your post n wasn't in a response to you

@Tortoiseonthehalfshell

We have had joint accounts for 15 years, I've never had to borrow my husband's card. Why would you need to do that regularly? Just because they're joint accounts doesn't make the actual card or PIN communal property; I think of all my PINs and passwords as very much my own, and I bet your ex does as well.
Me and DP have a joint account and borrow each others cards all the time. Its not that odd and works for different people. Your way is odd to me, "No its my card you cannot even gaze upon it, let alone, gasp, touch it."

If you're this petty in other areas of life, he'd be better off moving on from you.

Then start your own thread, don't bump an 8 year old thread which could be distressing to the original OP. Did you not see the waring about posting on an old thread?
BackInBlackAgain · 07/01/2022 10:44

Honestly I would message a string of laughing emojis and 'Thanks for the laugh this morning re the PIN number. And the proof, as if I ever needed it, that you really are a total loser! I can't believe you made that effort to try and piss me off, fantastic!'

@MNHQ This is the reason that Zombie threads should be locked/clearly marked or something!!!

Complete waste of everyone's time

ZOMBIE ALERT

Skeumorph · 07/01/2022 11:50

Oh no I love a good zombie

Sometimes you even get OP coming back to say, just to update you guys, I poisoned him with some olives/ shot him and put him under the patio / hired a herd of llamas to trample him and now my life is WONDERFUL - and everyone posts 'so glad it worked out for you OP Flowers '

sbhydrogen · 07/01/2022 11:53

I get why it would annoy you, but if my DH asked me to change my PIN then I'd... Not do it. It's been my PIN for decades, why change it now?

sbhydrogen · 07/01/2022 11:54

lol I should check the dates of the OP first.
