Pillow theft

Last night my DP switched off the lights really quickly and was all 'goodnight love, see you in the morning'. I settled down as well but realised there was something off immediately, a disturbance in the force if you will. I asked him to turn on the lights back on and he refused, a short scuffle ensued towards the bedside lamp - which I won - and to my absolute horror, I realised he had STOLEN MY PILLOWS and swapped them for his!
He claims that they were his all along and must have gotten mixed up when the sheets were changed.
I know my own damn pillows!
What would you do? Should I secretly swap them back tonight or exact revenge in some other form.
It's like stealing someone else's shoes fgs.

Both.

Kill him... totally justifiable.

  1. he stole your pillows
  2. he thinks your an idiot that won’t notice
  3. he thinks you will just accept it.

I would legit kill someone who stole my pillow

PontiacBandit · 15/11/2020 20:04

I have a silk pillowcase because I'm so precious about my pillow. DH wouldn't dare take it.

FippertyGibbett · 15/11/2020 20:05

OMG, how is he still breathing ?!!

Hoppinggreen · 15/11/2020 20:06

DH went upstairs for a nap earlier (clearly thinks he’s a toddler) and now my pillow smells like horrid sweaty man head
I’m not happy

CGWGWOO · 15/11/2020 20:06

I can provide an alibi and my DH could do the patio.

Definitely.

This is so weird because I've literally just written my name on my pillows as I'm sick of being lumbered with my the horrible old ones.

PastelPompoms · 15/11/2020 20:11

I can’t believe you let him use them all last night, that was very kind of you! Swap them and boot him out to sleep on the sofa for good measure!

TheEmojiFormerlyKnownAsPrince · 15/11/2020 20:12

I HATE this!!! I need my own big pillows in their strokey pillowcases. If he touches them l kill him.

It’s as simple as that😁

Nottherealslimshady · 15/11/2020 20:13

Swap them back! I take good care of my pillow and plump it and shape it . DH is not to touch it or smell it up or drool on it!

DontGoIntoTheLongGrass · 15/11/2020 20:14

Pfft that's nothing. DH and I recently got two double duvets for our super king after the superking duvet had to go to dry cleaners. The other night I woke to find he was sharing MY duvet after his fell on the floor by his side. When I questioned him about why he was hoarding MY duvet he then snatched the whole thing off me and rolled over Hmm Bastard.

I say you snatch back yours and get revenge. Wash them first though to get sweaty man head off them!

MatildaTheCat · 15/11/2020 20:14

Smother him with his pillows then sort out who has what.

Wingedharpy · 15/11/2020 20:17

Twin beds....in separate rooms....padlock on your door...that'll teach him.

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 15/11/2020 20:19

My ex used to do that. He used to fold his pillows in half (even when I bought him extra so he didn't need to) then when they were all mashed out of shape he'd steal mine

custardbear · 15/11/2020 20:20

Sharpie maker pen is your friend

Disappointedkoala · 15/11/2020 20:21

Do you need an alibi? Or a patio to put him under?

user1473878824 · 15/11/2020 20:22

My first heartfelt LTB.

DontTouchTheMoustache · 15/11/2020 20:23

A line has been crossed op

Whererainfalls · 15/11/2020 20:24

Wee on his toothbrush.

TeaAndStrumpets · 15/11/2020 20:30

I've got a pair of vintage linen pillowcases with coloured piping on the edges. One pink, one blue... this is an age old problem Angry

Do anything you think appropriate. No court in the land would convict you.

Dopeyduck · 15/11/2020 20:38

A dangerous post but - I do this!

Sometimes I just like something different. It’s like turning it to the cold side, but better.
