Steak and BJ day

[Bitchycocktailwaitress]

So, was watching a cooking show last night that really put me in the mood for a nice rare steak. Told DH I wanted to pick up some big rib-eyes at the supermarket with him.

He told me he would be embarrassed as it is apparently steak and BJ day today (valentines for men) and we will look like twats if we go into Tesco to buy steak today.

We have compromised by agreeing to use the self service till.

Is he BU? I am going to serve with crab with home made mayo and crusty bread as a starter, and baked potatoes with Philly and crispy bacon, and a green salad as a side.

Oh dear! We have steak for dinner tonight!! I'm sure I'll get a few comments brought the evening once DH is home from work! I didn't even realise this was a thing!

Throughout...

Steady on? I was saying they were arseholes because of their attitude to you...

it'll be steak and bj day in this house when he can tell me when "lunch and a munch " day is :D

(kidding, we can't afford steak)

He's U for even knowing about steak and BJ day. Misogynistic bollocks that it is.

Only on Mumsnet can you be seen as unreasonable for knowing something!

What a thoroughly depressing idea. Owing husbands/partners oral sex if they bought you a bunch of flowers a month ago. Never mind whether anyone's in the right mood or the fact that Valentine's Day isn't just for women anyway, it's a straightforward transaction. Ugh.

I did post this on AIBU Paul so no problems with any 'attitude.'

Anyway I know my husband is not a twat.

It's ok, a month today is Chicken and Lickin' day

Worn out I'm PMSL at that!

Indeed.

YABU. This should either be in Sex or Food topic. I don't know which to choose.

It's Asda thin & crispy pizza and 'I haven't forgotten how you fucked off out to football on Valentine's Day' at our house!

It's not exactly unheard of.

I've got that stupid constant pregnancy sickness so I'll pass on both accounts.

I didn't know this was a thing and in any case I'm staying with my lovely MIL at the moment while she has some work done on her house. Even if I were at home, it would be no good expecting DW to oblige. It's jacket potatoes topped with stir fry veg and melted cheese tonight.

It reminds me of the David Brent remark when he was proudly contemplating a romantic meal followed by sex with his date. His less fortunate colleague could look forward only to a pot noodle and a w@nk.

Apparently there is also a 'chicken and licking day' who comes up with this shit?

Ohhh that made me laugh out loud, i'd have spat tea everywhere if i had some.

My dbro is coming for tea...dh will get neither steak nor a bj tonight!

Why would OP's partner be a twat? I think it's quite good actually that he'd be embarrassed by buying it today. Perhaps he doesn't want people thinking he sees you as nothing more than a sex machine to use on certain days...

Personally the whole thing is just idiotic men, as usual. I don't get how Valentine's Day is for women because I'm a woman and I think it's mawkish commercialised shite.

Nice that we can dumb down both genders though into "women like romance" and "men like meat and sex" isn't it? Sigh, I despair, I really do.

*Jeez why are some people on here giving the OP's husband grief on here. The OP and her husband are obviously having a bit of a joke. It might not be to everyone's taste but it is supposed to be lighthearted.

Seriously!*

Yes Serious! The OP has said that they are having a laugh and when I said it was lighthearted I meant the OP's post is meant to lighthearted. She put it as a disclaimer at the end.

We're having meatballs :) No BJ, though. Bonkers.

One of my male friends sent me a link about this . Anyway it gave dh a laugh, I showed it to him about 2 hours after he had a vasectomy. It is safe to say my advances will be rebuffed.

Tbf, it's hard to avoid knowing that it's what some people call today if you're on social media.

Not heard a peep (though one of my nerdy Physicist friends was going on about pi) - once again, I am grateful for my classy Facebook friends

Oh no I bought steak today in my online shop - I had no idea (it's for Friday - we are having chicken tonight) I will not be able to look the delivery guy in the eye next week if it's the same one, how very embarrassing!!

Has nobody here heard fm of having a laugh, just a bit of fun?

Anyway, those of you recoiling in horror maybe try sending your DP a text telling him what day it is and to pick some steak up on the way home. The way some of you are reacting to a bit of harmless fun it would probably make the poor blokes year.

Bless at chippie

Only just seen this thread so still psychologically on page 1 where a PP said they were having a 'quiche' and my eyes and brain totally read 'we're having a quickie tonight.'
