To expect my dh to know the colour of my eyes (lighthearted)

[Greenybrownish]

I ve just overheard my husband chatting to our dd about the colour of our eyes ..... He didn't know mine. Am I unreasonable to be a little bit gutted ?
His point of view is in the grand scheme of things it's not important as I m never going to lose them so it's not like he ll ever have to go and pick them out of a line up of lost eyes for me (fair point) - my point of view is: it's not too much to expect him to know, he surely has looked into them at some point and he even jokes about how un observant I am compared to him who spots a mistake in a tv scene or someone in the street with something odd on, whereas I would walk past a real dinosaur being ridden by a little green man and probably not notice. But I do know THE COLOUR OF HIS EYES!

Awww yanbu! My DH knows the color of my eyes better than I did ??

My DH knows my eye colour (before we were going out there was an argument involving them) but he couldn't tell me the eye colours of any of his family. He doesn't even know their full names!

Thank you - I do plan on casually reading this thread to him later , hopefully get even a tiny bit guilt out of him ( I can dream)

I don't get eye colour at all. I couldn't tell you the colour of anyone's eyes I know. I don't know what colour dh or ds eyes! Don't take offence .

Ha Ha I m glad the verdict is supporting me ...... But also think I feel even worse too , he ll soon learn tho - I m planning on staring at him close up all night so every time he wakes up he s freaked out revenge !!!

Yanbu!

If it's any consolation, DH failed to remember my date of birth and middle name when we registered to get married. We had been together 10 years and had two DC at the time. I only forgave him because the date of birth he gave made me about four years younger than I was

But seriously, is it possible that he's colour blind?

Are they a distinct colour? My ExH's are that brown/greeny/hint-of-dark-blue colour that is hard to describe.

Sorry, don't know the colour of your DH or you DCs eyes purpleroxy?

I cant imagine not knowing the eye colour of anyone close to me. Part of what attracted me to DH was his lovely eyes.

He ll like that excuse and prob try to use it - however he's playing on his comp at the min and seems to know the football strips no bother.
Actually your story reminded me of doing our pre wedding checks to prove who we were , didn't notice my name wrong on form so maybe he just switches off for me !

I don't know anybodies eye colour. I am partially colour-blind and so they all look to same to me from a distance. I have to really concentrate and look into someone's eye to distinguish one colour from the next.

The only ones I seem to notice are those very few people with bright blue eyes.

Linerunner- yea they are Greeny brown but think i would have been happy with a guess of those colours anyway.

He s just tried to get a kiss to have a sneaky look at them - the verdict: "they are a light brown , they are Greeny colour there like a odd colour"
