To be upset that dh got me a bloody iron

[Ohdear7777]

For my birthday?! Yes we already have one and no I didn’t get anything else!! Wth

regift it to him on his birthday.

Fuck. I'd never iron again.

I don't know how you didn't rip him a new one for that???!! Honestly I'd have told him to take the damn iron back and exchange it for an appropriate gift or he wouldn't live to see his next birthday,and if he refuses you're buying diamond jewelry! (Or whatever you fancy for yourself!)

Did he say why he bought you such a dreadful present an iron

LTB

What did he say when he saw your wtaf reaction.

I’d be regifting it back to him along with buying something for yourself on his bday

Buy him a toilet plunger for his birthday.

Stop ironing his things (if you did) and absolutely regift it to him for his birthday.

Stop ironing his stuff.
Regift it back to him for his birthday.

I presume that there are other deeper issues going on here?

Excellent weapon. You going to burn, bludgeon or strangle him? Joins you in digging up the patio…

I'm fairly laid back about birthday presents but even I would draw the line at being given an iron. I don't do ironing anyway and the one I already have hardly ever sees the light of day.

Have you shoved the iron up his arse?

Nope. Just no. Regift it to him next birthday.

When IS his birthday, OP? 🌹

I'd buy him a spade. Is it a joke.

It's a special "Ninja" iron, so that you can iron with both hands simultaneously and do his shirts in half the time.
🤔😂

Friends husband bought her a toilet seat!

Is this a really bad attempt at humour with the real present about to make an appearance?

Because otherwise I would be seriously questioning my marriage!

Honestly don't understand what's wrong with men like this. The average woman is so easy to buy a gift for....ffs, perfume, chocolates, flowers, a book, a candle, anything else. If it helps I got scales one year

I feel your anger op.
Years ago dh bought me a salt and pepper mill and a cafetiere for Christmas. I ripped into him.
Told him household items are never gifts unless asked for.
The following Christmas he gave me emerald earrings.
He learnt his lesson.

Make it very clear, it's unacceptable. An iron is not a gift.

Is it some kind of passive aggressive message from him?

Be even more generous back. A washing machine for Christmas.

I sell irons and even as a sales person I’ve talked many “DH’s” out of buying an iron as a surprise birthday, wedding anniversary, Christmas gift. They honestly think it’s a great idea as their partner does loads of ironing.

Is there more of a back story? Is it a fancy iron? What was his reason for buying it when you asked?

No you are not.
Wtf was he thinking.
You absolutely must I repeat must get him a household appliance for his birthday or for Christmas, whichever comes first.

This shit isn't funny. Don't be upset. Be angry.

A friend of mine received a set of kitchen knives for her ( special ) birthday . Apparently it was to help her chop things better ! He was lucky she didn’t chop off his dick .
