To want to swap DH for a bottle of wine and some chocolate

[catgirl1976]

Today is our 7th wedding anniversary.

I've been ill with pneumonia and am signed off work but I'm actually feeling a lot better. I normally work FT.

I've cleaned the whole house, done all the laundry, got dinner ready for DS and then decided to put on very nice underwear, a slinky dress, some very high heels and do my hair and make up 50s pin up style as DH likes that look.

When he got home from work I was waiting on for him with a card, a cold beer and looking like a cut price Dita Von Teese.

I never do stuff like this - I'm always working and looking like a stressed, frazzled mum - I just thought the 'Oh honey, you're home' thing might play well.

He's gone upstairs to play computer games as he had a stressful day. [hmm[

I'm now left feeling faintly ridiculous....

In fairness, once he's destressed I'm sure we'll have nice night, but right now AIBU to trade him in for a nice bottle of wine and a bar of chocolate, as I feel I'd get more enjoyment out of them.

I would be And would want to throw the fucking computer out the window. Poor you. Yes have a nice glass of wine.

Bloody hell. I would take a lot of talking round if that much effort got that response. Yes, have the wine and choc and say you snooze you lose if he suddenly gets interested. He got a lot of men's ideal homecoming on a plate: and went to play games! Huge mistake, Huge.

I'm going to put my skankiest pjs on, my old lady slippers, take my make up off and sit on the sofa watching Masterchef and stuffing my face with chocolate. Possibly burping and scratching, just to add to the allure.

YANBU if he's not said how gorgeous you look and given you some indication that once distressed he'll be paying you some attention then I'd want to smash the wine bottle over his head, providing I had a spare bottle.

If it's any consolation, it was my 18th wedding anniversary last week and DH gallantly said "I'll do tea" then proceeded to nearly burn the chuffin' house down by putting burgers under the grill and then sitting in front of his laptop (bloody computers eh ?) I spent three hours of my anniversary cleaning soot out of several rooms which I'd already thoroughly cleaned few days before

Happy anniversary OP

I would also be sad and angry.he is a shithead

Ha ha go on rock the Hilda Ogen/Nora Batty look, that'll teach him.

Men + computers = bad

He did say I looked nice before he vanished. So that's something.

Computers are the bane of my life shady

(Except when I MNetting, obviously. That's different)

YANBU but I do have some sympathy with your DH. I need at least an hour to unwind after a stressful day. Being pounced on as soon as I got through the door would do my head in.

eyebags63 I couldn't agree more.

Have you gone upstairs to ask Wtfkingf he thinks he's doing whether he's coming down?

I've ordered him out to the off licence to procure wine for me. To be fair he went without quibble. I think he was probably just stressed and as someone said didn't appreciate being pounced on.
