To leave my husband…

…for a heated throw?
I had assumed that DH and I were quite happily married but since I unwrapped DHT on Christmas morning I’ve been swept off my feet. It has various settings and has supported me through both my booster side effects and my current period pain.
I told DH this evening that I can’t help how I feel and know that DHT and I are meant to be and that I didn’t want to string him along. He just rolled his eyes and asked me what kind of pizza I fancied.
Is he maybe in denial? And has anyone else had to navigate a similar situation? I did develop quite strong feelings for the robot hoover when it arrived but those cooled once I realised how often long hair clogs it up.

You’ve introduced DHT to DS already?? You only opened him five days ago…. Terrible parenting 😂

Merryoldgoat · 30/12/2021 23:47

@Flingingmelon

I’m imagining terrible things with a Chillow and HT at the same time…

Angryattrackandtrace · 30/12/2021 23:54

I’ve had a DHT for a little while now.

Honestly at first we had a full on affair but nowadays it just sits in the conservatory.

It held the reins (plug/cable) and was starting to make me feel I couldn’t really get away without it catching and trying to trip me.

I hope you have a more loyal brand.

I really need to think about what your saying here ....so it's okay for you to meet DTH probably in your own home but for other people not to fir the first date.....double standards much?

HappyDays40 · 31/12/2021 00:13

I don't think you should be so brazen about it to DH. The question about the pizza is obviously to hide his hurt feelings.

MobyDicksTinyCanoe · 31/12/2021 00:13

Ive got the same one but the furry type version... Dp has been put out to pasture. He just can't compete.

1concernedmummy · 31/12/2021 00:18

I feel the same way about my French linen bedsheets...the way the fabric caresses my skin at night is bliss!

Sidehustle99 · 31/12/2021 00:21

OMG how long have you been with DHT and you've already introduced the DC. Have you no shame. You should wait at least 2 years before introducing the DC to any NA. My advice is LTB he is obviously a cocklodger and come spring will be moving on to some fancy airing cupboard without a thought for you and your DC.

Justmebeingme245 · 31/12/2021 00:25

Yes I’m disgusted also - introducing the children to DHT so quickly, it’ll all end in tears and you will only have yourself to blame OP. However, I’ve a perfectly viable solution - my children are pretty much grown up and a lot less likely to be affected by early introduction. I will take on you DHT at no cost to yourself, I’m just so feckin charitable.

Justmebeingme245 · 31/12/2021 00:30

Obv, I will virtue signal about my charitable offer on social media, but it’s nothing less than I deserve for helping you out and all.

Japingjaponica · 31/12/2021 08:23

Good Lord,.please don't ever buy yourself a vibrator...you'll make all the others homeless

DontWantTheRivalry · 31/12/2021 08:38

Sometimes I prefer to slip into bed with the heated blanket on than slip into bed with my husband Grin

badspella · 31/12/2021 08:39

'"DHT" really tickled me'

Just be careful! Things can really heat up once this starts. I used to have a thing going on with a weighted blanket, but he got too 'heavy'.

LadyWithLapdog · 31/12/2021 08:46

Just wait till it gets hot and cold on you and then truly fizzles out and dies.

girlmom21 · 31/12/2021 08:48

Why did this take me so long to understand? I thought DHT was your husbands twin.

I need coffee.

checkingforballoons · 31/12/2021 08:57

I’ve decided to ignore you all until somebody posts to say that I should absolutely pursue things with DHT and that DH brought it upon himself by introducing us.

comfortablyfrumpy · 31/12/2021 10:44

Just a thought... if your DH introduced you to DHT.... you don't think he's after a threesome, do you?

Hoppinggreen · 31/12/2021 10:50

@BrightYellowDaffodil

Could you maybe share DHT with DH? As a way of trying to rekindle things, shared interests and all that?

TopTabby · 31/12/2021 10:50

GrinGrinGrin this thread is brilliant!
Waiting for AIBU to ditch DHT for the next thing though, I predict this happening by late Spring as I fear this is a seasonal romance & DHT will be replaced by a Dfan or similar.
It can only end in tears...

Literally LOL on public transport!

OhGiveUp · 31/12/2021 11:16

You need to keep an eye on this OP. If your DH starts displaying signs of jealousy then you need to keep DHB out of the way in case your DH kills it in a rage.
I think he introduced you two maybe with a view to a cosy threesome, but if that's not happening then fuses might be blown.

LadyWithLapdog · 31/12/2021 11:17

I agree with PP that this is a seasonal romance. Make sure to ditch DHT before you jump into DHotTub.

Oldraver · 31/12/2021 11:24

Ive been looking at your link as OH does get cold at night,but it seems to the throw is only for ladies with cats..

I showed OH and he did remark that the cats would claim it for themselves

Champagneforeveryone · 31/12/2021 11:36

It's the other way round in our house, DH got a DHT for Christmas. I suspect he is playing me as second fiddle as I often find him lying in repose with the hussy thing draped over him and a dreamy smile on his face.

Of course he insists that it's only "for the cat" but I'm not stupid
