AIBU?

AIBU to LTB?

Lovely Valentine's meal arranged by DP at my favourite restaurant, roses and card.

Then, during desert...he called me a Volvo. A fecking Volvo. Apparently because "when you get one, you keep them for a long time"
AIBU to be eternally offended and LTB?

Would you have preferred it if he'd called you a bike/rental car/banger

NameChanged2333 · 15/02/2017 14:35

Damn! So I'm not to LTB? Got a whole speech ready and everything.
I can't think what kind of car I would have preferred...I'm in my 40s now and overweight of average build, so hardly have the sleek lines of a super car anyway. Maybe an Aston Martin? in another lifetime

I think it's a massive compliment

I think it's a clumsy but strange compliment. Like saying you are too good to let go of!

NameChanged2333 · 15/02/2017 13:41

I think we should both LTB's! Hurrah for Moonpig...have some more

We also went for a romantic Valentines dinner first time in thirty years. There were some candles on a shelf behind my seat so I said, ' can you watch out so my hair doesn't catch fire?' He replied, 'Why?'

I think I should LTB.

I did receive twelve red roses from a delivery company. Sadly they'd been delivered to the wrong address and weren't for me at all. . Moonpig told me to keep them as they couldn't be arsed to collect. I truly hope the real recipient got hers at some point.

I have to be honest and say a fair amount of alcohol had been consumed by this point and it was definitely a bizarre conversation! And yes...on the flip side there are worse brands of car to be compared to.

Or a Lotus - loads of trouble, usually serious.

I can't tell whether this thread is lighthearted or not, but what a bizzare conversation. I'd be totally bemused. In fact, I am totally bemused.

Could have been worse, he could have called you a Micra... they go on forever, and the state of the bodywork is dreadful!

SmileEachDay · 15/02/2017 12:54

No. NO!

xStefx · 15/02/2017 12:54

Aw god, men can say such stupid things cant they. Start referring to him as your "old man" see how he likes it
My DH says stuff that's just as stupid but he means it well... I hope lol

NameChanged2333 · 15/02/2017 12:53

Smile ...would that have been better?

SmileEachDay · 15/02/2017 12:52

Sure he didn't say "vulva"?

MumBod · 15/02/2017 12:49

Could have been worse - you could have been a clapped out old banger.
