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

Can anyone remember the poster who could make words out of emojis...She once managed to write Fuck Off using the flower emoji.
I think HQ deleted it but then reinstated it because so many people complained.
Who was it, does anyone remember ?

Hopefully he comes to his senses soon! You sound hard work and incredibly selfish. All this over flowers Hmm

Forgive him for being considerate by buying his sister flowers for her birthday?! Does his wife have to have the same but nicer of every gift he buys for other family members or is this specific to flowers?

I had maybe 4 bunches in 20 years that weren't on Mother's Day (and they dried up years ago once the kids had allowances) he's now stbexh!

DaphneFanshaw · 29/11/2019 18:54

Erm, sorry Marty. Yours just looks like a row of flowers.

73Sunglasslover · 29/11/2019 18:58

You can tell him that you don't want games consoles again and would prefer all future presents to be florist flowers. Then buy your own games consoles.

I really can't see the issue. You seem to be conflating where he buys flowers from with does he love and care for you. The flowers issues is a largely irrelevant distraction. The 'does he care for you' is the nub of it. I'd much rather be with a nice man who doesn't go for such showy gestures as florist flowers than a git who thinks all his behavior is OK because occasionally her flashes the cash at a florist.

DeRigueurMortis · 29/11/2019 18:59

Well I gave it a go Grin

OP is either a troll or a 5 year old.

AnneLovesGilbert · 29/11/2019 19:05

What else is going on for you OP? You sound very stressed. If there is anything else you could start another thread and ask for support.

HiyaVera · 29/11/2019 19:06

You know she’s on a wind up Grin. Why are you all biting?

DaphneFanshaw · 29/11/2019 19:15

Why isn’t this on the reddit forum yet ?

ghostyslovesheets · 29/11/2019 19:15

freeingNora · 29/11/2019 19:20

I get it but buy yourself florist flowers really nice ones don't rely on someone else to make you happy x

DaphneFanshaw · 29/11/2019 19:21

It was a good effort Morty.

SilverySurfer · 29/11/2019 19:23

This is seriously pathetic.

littleduckeggblue · 29/11/2019 19:33

Seriously this must be a wind up thread.
If not, OP you sound fucking mental. Sort yourself out love!

ginyogarepeat · 29/11/2019 19:57

Oh people come on, if ever there was a wind-up this is it......don't bite!

Smilebehappy123 · 29/11/2019 19:57

Amazing he was able to find a florist open at this time of the evening! And has left his sister on her birthday to bring them home to you!

What a sign of bullshit a devoted husband!

DaphneFanshaw · 29/11/2019 20:00
Grin I hope you shoved them up his arse.
Kanga83 · 29/11/2019 20:02

Yes the supermarkets massively reduce their flowers for pence around this time of the night. Sounds like the fella got himself a bargain 👍
