So dp is abroad, I'm enjoying a night to myself with wine, chocolate and Saturday night tv, and dp has asked me to Skype him with the tablet facing the tv with the rugby on as he can't get it where he is. So I've very kindly switched off strictly and am now sat without the tv and the tablet and all my chocolate has disappeared and he just grumped at me about how late it is for him and how he has the headache......AIBU to expect a bit of gratification here?!!

You can't blame him for the chocolate can you? Grin

WorraLiberty · 26/09/2015 20:52

It's half time now

Tell him to go fuck himself Grin

MillionToOneChances · 26/09/2015 20:52

Hmm. So he's using the tablet and the TV and he's not even there?! Find more wine!!

Tell him to fuck off and grow up?

Hillijx · 26/09/2015 20:57

Million.....exactly, how did I say yes to this....I think I'm a mug, maybe I should repost on relationships about this?!

I think the missing chocolate is all his fault majestic

If he's skyping you he must have wifi,
He should watch online

LineyReborn · 26/09/2015 20:58

Strictly isn't on where I am.

Florriesma · 26/09/2015 21:02

Grin first time dh has been impressed with mn!
I think he nends to post chocolate to you in gratitude.--or the interest goes off.

Hoe long have we got to put up with the rugby btw? I.mean did it have to be at tisane time as the football?and the formula 1?

Hillijx · 26/09/2015 21:04

I was catching up on strictly, was planning on Dr who next Sad

I think if his side loses then I won't be getting much thanks! Still no drunk man in my bed at least Grin

Florri I will take the chocolate and even talk about the score if I get upgraded to hotel chocolate?! This is only the first stages isn't it? Why do so many countries need to join in, I prefer the 6 nations!

I'd be inclined to unplug the WiFi and feign terrible upset with your Internet provider!

Tempting Grin

I think you mean gratitude rather than gratification

Micah · 26/09/2015 21:43

Yy I saw gratification and thought the o/p wanted her dh to get sexy over Skype in return for watching the rugby!

DameMargaretOfChalfont · 26/09/2015 21:47

I think you mean gratitude rather than gratification

Not necessarily. Maybe OP wants gratification from her DP (upon his return) for her selflessness.

Just a thought!!!

Hillijx · 26/09/2015 22:00

Ha ha I knew that sounded wrong but couldn't think of the right word......too much wine or the English education system fails again Blush

I would rather admit stupidity than reward him with Skype naughtiness!!!

pigsDOfly · 26/09/2015 22:14

I took it Op meant she wanted gratification in the form of more chocolate and wine. Would work for me.

Buggered if I'd be up for sitting there with the tablet and tv with no entertainment for the evening without some form of gratification to keep me going.

Hillijx · 26/09/2015 22:21

I should have said that and not admitted that I'm an idiot!

I used to be intelligent, then I had children. Maybe next time I have a spare 80 minutes I should brush up on my English rather than sit on mumsnet.

DameMargaretOfChalfont · 26/09/2015 22:32

Sod the English lessons OP - I've found that MN is far more educational!!!

Junosmum · 26/09/2015 23:38

What?!
