DH thought it was rubbish apparently Hmm
Aibu to be annoyed?!
Do all men throw away your precious things or is it just mine?

I can't even get DH to put empty packets in the bin. I wish he was over zealous in his cleaning Hmm

WallToWallBastards · 07/07/2016 14:32

Precious things Grin nope but I've had tampon applicators retrieved from the bin and put on the side "just in case" Envy

That is annoying. Can I just say that replacing my mooncup was actually beneficial for me. I bought my first mooncup not realising there were other brands/types that might suit me better. My new Fleur is softer and has better capacity.

gamerchick · 07/07/2016 14:33

He is going to replace it for you isn't he? To hammer the point home what it is, what is looks like and how much they cost.

It shouldn't happen again.

or did he know what it is and chucked it anyway?

InsufficientlyCaffeinated · 07/07/2016 14:35

LTB Grin

I'd send him out to buy another though. Hopefully he's the sort that gets embarrassed at buying feminine products so he'll learn his lesson.

RosieandJim89 · 07/07/2016 14:37

Ooooo!! My DH is a bit creeped out by them so would probably do the same given the chance!

Now I'm picturing you as Gollum........

I boiled mine dry once sterilising it, which was even more annoying as I couldn't blame anyone else. But yes, my DH likes mine on the side of finance and environment but cannot be in the same room as it and doesn't like discussing it Grin

squoosh · 07/07/2016 14:42

'You did WHAT to my precious mooncup!?'

WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant · 07/07/2016 14:45

My ex used to throw mine and ds stuff out.
But never anything of his own.

That white jumper I've never seen you wear...
Yes, my mum got it for my birthday last week.
Oh. Sorry. I threw it out.
Here, have this greying manky misshapen 30 year old one instead.

That old pizza in the fridge...
My leftovers from last night? I thought I would finish it for lunch.
Oh. I gave it to the birds.

HitsAndMrs · 07/07/2016 14:50

Squoosh - that's exactly how I feel! I've not been this upset since my DD ruined my Tiffany necklace Grin

Sqoosh just made me snort out loud and choke Grin
Don't think DH even knows where the bin is. Screwed up envelopes on the floor is my personal hate...Angry

KittensandKnitting · 07/07/2016 15:04

lordofthetits I'd be thanking a higher power if DP ever threw anything away...have an envelope sitting on the side that hasn't moved for weeks, I will not give in :)

VoldysGoneMouldy · 07/07/2016 15:25

He better replace it! Does he know what it was? RIP Mooncup... I consider mine precious as well Grin

gamerchick · 07/07/2016 15:26

Ha I'm having a stand off about envelopes as well. Grin He's very good in the house but letters and empty meds packets just get put down. It's not irritating me but I'm curious how long they'll sit there.

Newmanwannabe · 07/07/2016 15:28

Eek!!!Shock

LordoftheTits · 07/07/2016 15:30

I can probably beat you all at this game. There is a present that he opened on Christmas Day 2014 still sitting unused on the windowsill, tucked behind the curtain. I don't even think he notices it's still there. I refuse to move it and by this point I want to see how long it will stay there.

Elledouble · 07/07/2016 15:35

Ha. My partner won't do all the washing up and put it away, but he'll box all the baby bottles up and hide them just as we're trying to wean our son off breastfeeding... Angry

gamerchick · 07/07/2016 15:53

Ah lord I think I would be playing a game with it by now. A following him around the house game.

He does know what it is but it was in the pouch so he assumed that it was worthless junk!

Castasunder - it depends on your age and if you've have children. Get one right now!

WhooooAmI24601 · 07/07/2016 16:21

Castasunder buying one was the best thing I ever did.

Mine was in the bathroom cabinet and DS2 took it into the bath with his Playmobil men and boats and made the captain of the ship wear it like a giant hat. It's not been quite the same since.

Topseyt · 07/07/2016 16:45

I have the opposite problem in that DH is a hoarder. He almost never throws anything away.

I sooooooo wish that he would actually throw junk (real junk) out, but it seems a forlorn hope.
