DH shopping for wedding outfit on the morning of our friends wedding 🙄

[TwinkleTwinkleSeren]

What’s the most annoying thing your OH has done? This has got to make the top 5 of extremely annoying things DH has done. We have a wedding tomorrow and I’ve been asking him for weeks (months!) to try on his suit to check it fitted him okay. He just tried it on now. It goes nowhere near him 🙁The suit is an old one, over 10 years old. Now massive panic about what he’s going to do. It’s Sunday evening and bank holiday tomorrow. He’s now going off shopping with his mum in the morning leaving me to clean the house/organise everything and look after our two small DS. My folks are watching the boys in our house all day so stuff needs to be organised and I’ll need to get ready myself but with no one to watch our DS. I’m fuming! Grr.

To add - the wedding is very posh in a 5 star hotel so we need to look nice.

Tell him to take the DC with him!

YANBU. Why does he need his mum to go with him? Is he 15?

In that case I think he should spend the rest of today cleaning the house, since he'll be out tomorrow leaving you with the childcare. Tell him now that's the deal or he has to take the kids shopping with him.

He goes shopping and his mum watches the kids so you can get sorted?

To be fair, I’m glad he’s going with his mum as she’s pretty good at things like that and he rang her asking if she had anything he could borrow. Fuming though as I’m stuck looking after our little ones, need to do make up, tong my hair etc which will be really hard on my own. Urgh.

He’s put on a lot of weight so I think he was avoiding trying on the suit as I think he knew it wouldn’t fit him. He’s being very down on himself, calling himself fat etc. He looks fine, he just needs a bigger suit.

I feel your pain as I could have written this myself a few months back. I was bridesmaid though and he waited till the night before to try his suit on, despite me nagging for weeks to do it. Didn't fit, his dads didn't fit either. We live quite remote so shopping for a suit wasn't an option. Thankfully his mum is good on a sewing machine so altered the trousers in the morning of the wedding but I could have killed him. So much unnecessary stress!!

DH did this very same thing a few weeks ago! He took the kids shopping with him though so I could get ready in peace!

I recently worked in Next and I had a lot of men in for next-day or same-day wedding outfits, made me panic so I can't imagine how much you're panicking 😁

Very annoying.
My husband stopped the wedding car On The Way to Our Wedding ! To buy his shirt.
Many years ago now...😀

Sounds like my DH at every social occasion for the last 15 years, tbh.

happily though he does have some redeeming qualities 😆

Omg I would have strangled him 😂

Oh dear! Must be a man thing 🤔Similar to Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve! Why 😬

Lucky! 😂

Surely the best course of action is for him to be a big boy and go shopping solo, for his mum to watch the kids while you get ready and he can give her a bottle of something to say thanks afterwards - much better!

Why is it that now the two women closest to him are both being inconvenienced just because he didn't get his shit together?

Urgh! My best friend who was my bridesmaid had to go shopping for a shirt for her oh on the morning of my wedding. 1, he’s a grown man and 2, she needed to get ready herself.

leaving it til the last minute is one thing, needing mummy to take him shopping is quite another. What a turn off!

Annoying but at least it should be fairly easy for him to just pick up a suit. Discuss colours with him before he goes so he doesn't waste time thinking about that and tell him to grab any one that fits. One suit looks pretty much like another if you are a wedding guest. Really don't know why his Mum needs to go though!

Also, don't bother cleaning the house other than washing the dishes etc. It will survive until you get back.

Can't he just find a branch of Moss Bros to hire one.

My husband decided that sanding and painting the back doors was his priority when his parents were on his way. He truly saw no issue with it

Having divorced a fuckwit like this, who constantly cocks up and expects others to pick up the consequences, I wouldn't tolerate this at all.
If your plan was to get ready without the dc, then that should remain your plan.
Why on earth should you be negatively impacted by his thoughtless behaviour?

Non negotiable, he takes the dc with him.

Nightmare!! If he's feeling down about his appearance though, get his mum to encourage him to get a suit with a waistcoat - much more flattering than a slightly bulging shirt and very smart. Also, make sure the mum knows the colours of your outfit - complementary tie and you'll both look ace. Also, I always find the drinks go straight to me head if I've been stressed, so you'll be a cheap date and be relaxed and ready for a fab time super quick!! Have a fab day!

Very annoying and definitely something my husband would do, too. As others have said, ask his mum to help watching kids whilst you get ready and he shops.
But also - if this is on top 5 annoying things he’s ever done, recall threads from on here, take a deep breath and realise, you’ve got a good one!
