Dp thinks I am. Yesterday at work my work trousers got a rip in them. My other pair is a bigger size with no belt loops and will probably fall down whilst I'm working. Today is my day off I popped to shop picked up 2 pairs of trousers and put a cheque in the bank. Do rang me and said "oh your on the street" I simply said "I'm omw back 1 stop on bus from home, I was quick" he then moaned that over weekend I said I'd go put cheque in bank on Tues and he thought it wasn't necessary because I didn't need the money (money is from elderly relative for DC for a gift so has something to open on birthday rather than a piece of paper) and originally he said he would drop me to bank sat morning to pay cheque in but he overslept

This is the most mind numbingly boring thread I've ever read

Contrariwise, it's growing on me.

Just advanced searched the OP, I thought it might be someone trying a "hilarious" sharon thread but she seems to be able to post in sentences usually.. so god knows 🤷‍♀️

Redglitter · 13/08/2019 11:33

Clear as mud

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 13/08/2019 11:37

Tbf, if it wasn't her day off, she'd be at work so unable to get the trousers anyway.

So....

@MoreFrog what do you mean, honesty men! My man isn't like that. Nor are normal men. Very confused by that.

usernamerisnotavailable · 13/08/2019 11:41

Am truly perplexed as to the issue.

AwdBovril · 13/08/2019 11:44

None the wiser...

Ninkaninus · 13/08/2019 11:47

Wtaf of course you’re not unreasonable to go out and run some errands in your own time. Is your boyfriend/partner/husband/whatever always such a cock? Does he think he’s your boss?

Jemima232 · 13/08/2019 11:48

Chicken and Apricot Korma

Cooked in a wok of course.

Oh I dunno. It has potential ladies.

ClemDanFango · 13/08/2019 11:52

What the fuck is he going on about? Why is this even a conversation?

Clem why is this even a thread?

MollyButton · 13/08/2019 11:54

What does he expect you to do on your day off?

Does he expect you to stay home?

I'm very confused, my husband might phone me, but wouldn't expect me to be home all the time. Very odd.

@FutureMrsC I think you should post again on the Relationships board and get some sensible advice about controlling partners, not on AIBU which is full of people who like to rip the piss.

(And don't marry him.)

TooTrueToBeGood · 13/08/2019 11:55

Why are you even questioning this? Your DP is a controlling fucknugget. It's none of his business if you decide to go to the shops on your day off.

Puddington · 13/08/2019 11:56

I actually misread at first and thought he was annoyed she hadn't taken the cheque with her when she went to buy her trousers therefore killing two birds with one stone, which would have made a VAGUE sort of sense, but it isn't even that. If he's literally just annoyed you went to buy trousers on your day off OP he sounds a bit joyless.

Anyway, any of that chicken korma going spare?

Jemima232 · 13/08/2019 11:56

Clem Why is this even a thread

What I want to know is why the OP hasn't enabled the voting buttons.

V. disappointing.

AloneLonelyLoner · 13/08/2019 11:56

I can only ever buy clothes on my day off. Fitting trouser shopping at lunch or after wouldn't work because the bus takes too long and oh my the traffic! I always find the opening hours of the shops are a pain too especially on days that aren't Thursday.

Also your OP is BU.

Littlechocola · 13/08/2019 11:57

You know when you try to read something after a glass of wine and your head can’t make sense of it..... I’ve not been drinking.

Why are you on the street buying trousers for a wok with a cheque?

AloneLonelyLoner · 13/08/2019 11:57

DH not OP. What does it all mean?!!

alligatorsmile · 13/08/2019 11:59

YANBU, I needed a cardigan for the Actifry the other day.

MoreFrog · 13/08/2019 11:59

what do you mean, honesty men! My man isn't like that

All men are like that. It's just a matter of time.

Jemima232 · 13/08/2019 11:59

The OP is as unreasonable as the DH since it doesn't make sense.

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 13/08/2019 12:00

When else would you buy the, if not your day off? Presumably if it wasn’t your day off you’d be at work.....

It certainly does nobody has even called the dp Controlling or said LTB yet, it has so much further to go
