AIBU not to find this card cute? (Pic included)

Yes, it’s a first world non-issue really.

However, in the context of our not fantastic relationship atm, which is something I’ve had a bit of help with on the relationships board, I actually find this a bit... depressing.

Thoughts? I am probably overreacting.

Indeed. But the thing is, that if we poorly along, pretending everything is fine without resolving anything, then we will end up in a marriage where we don’t even want to share a bed, which I really don’t want.

*pootle along

It’s not really funny funny but it’s not offensive either

I think that’s actually a good policy Lily. Stop trying to be hilarious and just say something nice. It’s one day a year to say something nice.

Anyway, it’s a bloody awful card. If it was actually funny or even aesthetically not boak inducing, I wouldn’t mind so much (subjective opinion blah blah).

It is his birthday next month so I am looking for an appropriate card.

And fwiw, my card to him said something nice and had a long, nice message in it.

You’ve nailed it there miley! Hope he loves it... or not, depending .

I totally get what you mean OP. The context of your relationship is everything when it comes to stuff like this.

Happy birthday (or anniversary?)

Nah that's crap. I told DP early doors that I don't want joke cards from him.

Ideally I don't want them from 8 year old DS either but I can't win that one!

Bored 'of' -- arghhhhh!

Love it!!

I love amusedbush card too!

I don't like it either, OP!

I like it. Me and DH don't do cards unless he's away working for my Birthday. If he got me this I'd just laugh and tell him he was a cheeky shit! It's a couple lying in bed, as most couples do, I don't think there's meant to be anything sexual about it at all. For what it's worth my Birthday is in November and have often had Christmas cards by mistake- some people just don't pay much attention

Yanbu. The card obviously means something to you, enough to post about it.

I hope he wrote a lot of lovely things in the card to make up for the “yet”.

I guess it’s hit a nerve for you but I think it’s sweet and funny

I think it's probably the favourite card Iv ever received, he knows me so well

I think it's funny but me and fiancé tend to buy funny cards, if there's anything sweet in it; it's inside!

You seem to have quite specific standards about what's funny and what's not, and it seems he was trying to do something nice - I'd try and see the sentiment here rather than making it into a big show of how little he understands you. Cards are odd things, as shown here. I don't see the difference between this and the card below that you liked... he might not have either.

I think it’s sweet but it depends on the sort of dynamic you have with your partner

It’s just really dull.

He can’t have tried that hard to find a card, those style are everywhere at the moment. Clearly it’s the “in thing”.

Sorry, but even if that was the last card in the shop I still wouldn’t buy it. I don’t think I’d like receiving it either.

It's kind of saying 'I like you but don't get too comfortable', which in turn would make me feel uncomfortable!
It's all very well for established couples to give this to each other for a laugh, as you're secure in your relationship. But I would feel really disappointed to receive this otherwise.

For the love of Christ OP, do not look up Love Layla cards - you will spontaneously combust!!!

Anchor, I definitely think they’re different. The I tolerate you one, is so obviously a joke —and doesn’t have the fecking ugly drawing—.

But tbh, right now, I wouldn’t find the I tolerate you one funny either I don’t think. Not from dh at least. On our first anniversary, probably yes. Would have called him cheeky and had a laugh.

I’m not making “a big thing” out of it to him though. He has no idea I think it’s frigging hideous. But if he starts going on about it again, I will say it isn’t really to my taste actually and if he says “do you get it? It’s because they’re in bed”, I’ll say no, I don’t really get it and could you explain please. It’s no big deal. He got me a nice charm for a Pandora charm bracelet too...but I don’t have a Pandora charm bracelet, so that’ll have to be returned. It’s lovely of him to get me anything I guess. I did buy him things too btw.

So this is your anniversary card?

What did he write in it?
