To let DH grovel even though I'm not mad?

So went out last night for a big Christmas night out with loads of friends. I was shattered and decided to call it a day around midnight. I booked a taxi and told DH I was going home. Went home and went straight to bed.
He has decided that I must be mad at him for not leaving with me and has been grovelling all morning. He brought me breakfast, made a brew, even let me watch something he hates on the telly. I'm quite enjoying this tbf, but Im not mad at him. I never was. I wouldn't have wanted his night to end because I was tired, I was perfectly happy going home by myself. He has apologised all morning and I've said that I'm not mad but I think he thinks I'm just saying it. Shall I just let him crack on?

Well you have said that you aren’t mad, so it’s not like your milking the situation unfairly. I’d enjoy it and put my feet up if I were you!

Erm, is this lighthearted? Because it would be a shame if he only ever made you a brew or breakfast if he thinks he has to get in your good books.

Seems like he’s feeling guilty about something Confused

Yes it's lighthearted.
Nah he makes brews all the time but I'm always the first one up so never get a brew in bed! Plus he hates eating in bed so has never brought me breakfast in bed before!

Yup, he feels guilty for letting me leave on my own. He was saying that it was dangerous and stupid and he should have left with me for protection Grin

Do you always play mind games in your relationships?

Wineasaurous · 23/12/2017 12:09

.... no Confused

Lap it up then later tell him. It's not mind games it's just a bit of fun. No one is just and it's all been said

Wineasaurous · 23/12/2017 12:11

That's what I'm thinking cabin. I've said I'm not mad but I am enjoying being waited on 😁

Ooooh yes keep it up. Opportune moment to suggest a horrible job that needs doing Grin

Wineasaurous · 23/12/2017 12:24

I've got a washing basket full of clothes that needs sorting... Wonder if he'll do that while I eat some more toast and watch TV?

Tbf you've already told him, he just doesn't believe you. This is the sort of thing my DH would think I'd mind when I wouldn't as well.

CosmicSpider · 23/12/2017 13:00

I would let him carry on. The big soft wolly.

@Splinterz I don't think the OP is playing mind games....

Deathraystare · 23/12/2017 18:22

Milk it for all it's worth!!

blackteasplease · 23/12/2017 18:31

Enjoy it!

ASAPFerg · 23/12/2017 18:36

I've also done this. No harm done, enjoy breakfast in bed!
