Flowers for sister

I really need other opinions in relation to I'f I am being unreasonable as something happened last night that has really annoyed me
DH in 3 years we have been together has never bought me a bunch of flowers from a florist , iv often really hoped one day he would buy me a really nice bunch , not to sound ungrateful but I think iv received 3/4 bunches in the full time of our relationship and all have been supermarket bought ,at the time of receiving them iv always been grateful and thanked him
Anyway last night , so he nips out for present for his sisters birthday , comes home with an expensive looking bunch from interflora florist for her , its really pissed me off to be honest and I cant seem to shake my annoyance
Iv not said much to him today and I think he knows I'm pissed off
I just cant understand that he can make an effort for his sister but not me

Is it her birthday present? Or to go with a present?

Why don't you tell him how much you like them, and would love some similar one day

Smilebehappy123 · 29/11/2019 17:15

They are for her birthday which obviously I would have absoloutley no issue with as it's his sister of course not
The issue is the fact he has never gone to the effort of florist flowers for me and If I'm honest its really hurt my feeling

I would struggle to get worked up about this, unless you think he is quite casual with you in general?

Anyway, tell him you want flowers from the florist. He’s not a mindreader.

Btw, do you ever buy him flowers?

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 29/11/2019 17:21

Perhaps, if in his family flowers are a present for mum/sister/aunty, then to him, they aren't a romantic thing he would by for his lover... It might just not occur to him to buy them for you, especially if you've never said you would like some. Did you prompt or drop hints when he got you the supermarket ones? (Cos they are the obvious hole in my theory Grin)

StrayWoman · 29/11/2019 17:22

I truly don't give a shit where they're from.

Smilebehappy123 · 29/11/2019 17:22

I dont buy him flowers no because he wouldn't want them
Im annoyed with him because evidently im not worth the same effort his sister is in his life

In 15 years I don't think DH has ever given me flowers, cool jewellery yes, great plants yes, bunches of flowers no. I'm glad to be honest, my Nan always said flowers are for the dead. I would much rather have a living plant.

bridgetreilly · 29/11/2019 17:22

You're being unreasonable to moan about it here instead of, you know, telling him how it's made you feel and what you want.

Smilebehappy123 · 29/11/2019 17:22

I do but him other gifts that I know he likes though

KilljoysDutch · 29/11/2019 17:25

What did he get you for your birthday?

Smilebehappy123 · 29/11/2019 17:26

He got me a games console I wanted last year
Why am I not worthy of decent flowers and his sister is ?
I'm gonna but him a shit xmas present this year

OP posts:
Smilebehappy123 · 29/11/2019 17:26

Buy him I mean

picklemepopcorn · 29/11/2019 17:26

I'm with OP. He knows that supermarket flowers are not good enough for his sister's birthday, why are they good enough for OP?

Mind you, I've never even had garage flowers from DH. I've only ever had yellow sticker, battered end of the day flowers.

KilljoysDutch · 29/11/2019 17:27

So he brought you an expensive games console for your birthday and brought his sister flowers for hers but you're jealous and thinking that she means more to him?

You're petty and jealous. YABU.

Smilebehappy123 · 29/11/2019 17:28

Meant to be going for family meal tonight with them all
I'm not going if I have to look at them bastard flowers I will throw them out window

OP posts:
Smilebehappy123 · 29/11/2019 17:29

Killjoy Its the fact I get supermarket ones and she gets florist ones , as picklemepopcorn said he wouldn't get Asda flowers for his sister but his wife oh yeah fuck her , yeah dont think so he getting an orange in a sock for xmas

Have you told him you’re super into fancy flowers? This isn’t the sort of thing a bloke (or literally anyone) would guess about a person.

If you’ve told him: YANBU
If you haven’t: YABU

KilljoysDutch · 29/11/2019 17:30

She got special flowers for a special day. My god you are acting a spoilt brat.

LoobyDoDoDo · 29/11/2019 17:30

Wow, you sound very dramatic over a total non issue.

Do them all a favour and pull a sickie so they can have a nice time without you sat there with a face like a slapped arse.

TeenPlusTwenties · 29/11/2019 17:31

I think you just need to talk to him.

Do you know what DH? I thought the flowers you bought for your DSis were lovely. If you are ever looking to get me extras for Valentines/Anniversary etc I would definitely appreciate posh flower shop flowers over and above usual super market ones.

X0X0 · 29/11/2019 17:31

He got me a games console I wanted last year

so you want an expensive present and an expensive bunch of flowers Hmm

Smilebehappy123 · 29/11/2019 17:33

Looby Doo Doo dont worry I have im not going now that's how annoyed I am and wont spoil there enjoyment as it's a fancy restaurant
DH has gone so hope he has a good night the Wanker

I sense that this OP is the type of poster, who, the more YABUs she gets, the more entrenched and unreasonable she grows.

So what starts off as mild annoyance quickly tsunamis into a tidal wave of fury...

Kanga83 · 29/11/2019 17:35

Does he also buy her expensive games consoles that she wants, as he did for your birthday? You seriously need to get a grip.
