To want to divorce my hubby

So bloody angry!!!
Hubby had a couple drinks tonight which is fine I have no issue with that. He came into bed and fell asleep. Also fine. But the stupid idiotic man decided to fall asleep half cut with a FULL glass in his hand! So he moved to turn over and splashed the whole bloody glass all over me, the bed and the duvet!!! Wasn't a small glass either. Didn't trust myself to wake him up cos I was so mad, so put a towel down to soak the worst of it off the mattress and I'm now on the sofa with a blanket!

Guess who will be doing clean up tomorrow!!! Certainly not me! He's totally oblivious snoring away like a walrus 🙄🙄

@Monty27

"Passed" in the context "I can't get passed it" is completely incorrect. "Past" is required because in that sentence, the word is being used as a preposition, not a verb.

@pictish

I say hubby all the time...I don’t give a shit that the Mumsnet hive mind have arbitrarily decided against it. HUBBY HUBBY HUBBY

So anyway...is his drinking a problem? Is the smashed glass a one off?

I ask because this seems an overreaction to an accident...even if it was a spectacularly dozy one.
Is there more to know?

Hive mind?

Or independent decisions?

@sanitizer I've used it in the context of my comment. Not your context.

JackieWeaverIsTheAuthority · 22/02/2021 01:13

Hubby spilled a drinky over wifey. It’s no biggy.

It could have bern worse Mr Rigby woke me up recently pissing up my back

Mr Rigby is a cat but still

Santatizer · 22/02/2021 13:42

@Monty27 that was your comment. I don't have a context since I haven't posted using either word, other than to clarify your misunderstanding. You were responding to someone who, quite rightly, pointed out that you had used the word incorrectly. Personally, I wouldn't have pointed it out in the first place but, since someone did, and you responded by laughing at them and implying your original usage was correct, I'm merely explaining that it wasn't.

HTH.

sonnysunshine · 22/02/2021 13:46

I don't use hubby but I can't spell definitely (without spell check). Am in danger in suddenly calling DH my hubby Shock

sonnysunshine · 22/02/2021 13:46

God I can't even type sentences anymore

pictish · 22/02/2021 13:48

Nanny hive mind.

I like this. Succinct. Insightful. Deep.
PhatPhanny · 22/02/2021 13:57

To be fair to the OP @madddddd I wanted to divorce my hubby last night for snoring..
I probably will tonight too, and the next night.
Glad hes grovelling, its even worse when your about to sleep.

Oh no its not hun, how about hubs or hubster?
Monty27 · 22/02/2021 14:09

@sanitzer are you bored? Read my context.

Derbee · 22/02/2021 14:34

@madddddd

Total change of topic but it absolutely amazes me every single day at how anyone in the world of mumsnet has the time to scroll through threads with a fine tooth comb picking up on spelling mistakes or punctuation errors or even words that irritate them. The amount of replies I see on posts ripping into posters for spelling something wrong, or using a word they don't like is crazy. Do you really have the time and energy to do this? I couldn't care less how people spell, or punctuate or what specific words they use that I don't 🤯

Anyway... thank you for the support guys, there will be no divorce between me and my HUBBY 😘

If you’re educated and literate, it’s not a fine tooth comb that is needed. Things jump out at you and it’s irritating. I agree that it’s not necessary to point them all out, but I wouldn’t think people are desperately searching through threads looking for poor spelling and grammar.
ridingonaroomba · 22/02/2021 15:12

you’d be very annoying to be married to

Santatizer · 22/02/2021 16:10

@Monty27 I have read it. You're still wrong.

JerichoGirl · 22/02/2021 16:25

That's not actually true. Being a natural speller is not an indicator of intelligence or education, it's more to do with how the brain interprets visual information. It is quite possible, and indeed not uncommon, for a person of high intelligence and good education to have visual memory issues.

Not is it unusual for a person who can spell very well to be ignorant, as is so clearly demonstrated in posts like yours.

madddddd · 22/02/2021 17:35

@ridingonaroomba

Well luckily your not married to me then.

madddddd · 22/02/2021 17:38

@Derbee

So what is the purpose of pointing any of it out then?

I spelt a word wrong and I used a word that clearly some people don't like so what are any of you achieving by pointing it out?

Genuinely curious what mumsnet posters think their gaining by going on about it?

@LookingForSalt

Love this. I spelt a couple words wrong and my grammar probably isn't the best but that doesn't make me uneducated or illiterate.

Just don't see the point in it. I see things that irritate me daily but don't make a point of making it known because I have better things to do with my time. If misspellings was to irritate me that much that I felt the need to voice it every I seen it then that wouldn't make me a very pleasant person.

“Genuinely curious what mumsnet posters think their gaining by going on about it?”

They gain the security of gang mentality in denigrating the harmless and commonly used phrase, while also achieving personal elevation by way of putting you down.

I was chatting about it this morning with my HUBBY and he agrees.
