To think that this comment could have been worded differently?

[IronMaggie]

So I'm rubbing my hands with glee over this, as it's the first opportunity I've ever had to post in AIBU. Granted it's incredibly petty but we're both very keen to know who's in the right.

DP and I are getting ready for a (very rare) night out. I am wearing a navy blue dress but think it might be chilly where we're going so I try on a little black jacket and ask him what he thinks. DP replies "I'm sure I remember you, or someone like you saying black and blue don't go."

I make a face and say "how d'you mean someone like me?", and he replies "dunno, you or some other woman"

Now I'm not suddenly wracked with jealousy or self-doubt or anything, but I do think that he could have conceded that it sounded a little bit dodgy and worded it slightly differently.

So there you go - a very minor AIBU, but then again it seems like lots of them are. Please settle our debate!

I don't think it would bother me! He probably just meant he can't remember which woman he'd heard say it.

I think you're making this into something when it is nothing.

I remember wearing black and blue check trousers at 15 so they do go .

Black and blue go. It's blue and green that don't. Actually brown and blue as well.
I dunno you or some other woman. Classic.

YABU. Sorry.

'Or someone like you'

Sorry I think that's quite funny Op

Its fine, don't let it ruin your evening. Re black blue green etc, depends on the tone and saturation of the colour.

Id let it slide...

YABU. He means a woman. Not another woman.

'Someone like you' Id have the hump over this too

Don't spoil the night. I wouldn't have thought twice about it.

Haha I'm looking at the responses and only reading out the ones that agree with me. Classic AIBU!

But ok ok, I'll apologise quietly and let it go. Have a good evening all!

YABU. Sorry. I wouldn't have thought twice about that!

I'd have laughed and then I'd rip the piss out of him at any and every opportunity for months weeks

Nope, black jacket and navy dress don't go at all!!

Perhaps he's been reading S&B.

Brown and blue do go, incidentally. Think of how the sky doesn't jar against mountains / dark sandy beaches.

Someone tried to tell me that green and brown don't go once. Had they never seen... a tree?

Tell him navy blue and black is very Parisian.

It was probably his mum that told him they didn't go.

Remind him that your not his mum.

My DH says things like that, unintentionally. We usually just laugh about it.

As for black and blue, I was told it's a no-no because you look like a bruise!!

*You're

Are you sure it your outfit was black and blue? It wasn't cream and white?

Are you sure it's black and blue, not white and gold?

Blue / green look fantastic together

I hope Kate is reading

OP I've got that Adele song stuck in my head now! For that reason alone YABU.
I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it, hope you both have a great night

YABU, sorry OP.

Sorry YABU. I know how you have taken it but it's the sort of thing my DH would come out with and what he'd mean by it is someone like me who has an opinion on clashing colours DF I'm looking at you with your multiple shades of green
