Is you’re husband as stupid as mine?

[MyHusbandIsVeryStupid]

I went out for dinner last night with a bunch of my husbands work colleagues who I’ve not met before. We all got on great but I could tell there was a weird vibe between me and them.

Do you want to know why?

My job is a sexual health advisor.

Turns out when asked what I do he’s been telling people I’m a sex worker.

He actually thought that’s what sex worker meant. Thankfully I’ve put everyone straight and the weird tension eased. But omg what a bloody idiot.

Aibu to think he wins the stupid man award?

My husband when asked “is this a same sex marriage” at our notice giving said yes as he heard the word marriage and panicked 🤣

Ffs 😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂

Mine used a scourer to get a mark off the car door the day before we were exchanging it for a new one.

To be fair I was well into my twenties before I realised a wedding breakfast wasn’t a fry up the morning afterwards to get over the post-reception hangover.

My idiot husband just manages to injure himself in stupid ways.

Oh you win. You win by a mile. I’m so sorry 🤣

Dd told her pre school teacher Dh was a bus driver. The lady then enthusiastically engaged me in a confusing cross purpose conversation about which bus routes he was on. He’s actually a solicitor who just gets the bus - Dd had unilaterally upgraded him from passenger to driver!

OMG this is too funny!!

I am certain my DP has done/ said many stupid things... am going to have a think of a good example. But this thread is strangely reassuring to know I am not alone!

My DH took his French O level as an adult and when he did the oral exam was asked about his hobbies. His reply could have got him arrested as because of saying J'aime le voile (I like sailing) he answered J'aime le viol (I like rape.....)

See I could understand a kid telling people this OP, but not an adult.

Are you sure they're not winding you up?

Literally everyone knows a 'sex worker' would be considered a prostitute, or someone who works in the sex industry.

My daughter is an au pair in Holland. One of her charges was telling everyone that mummy and daddy sold lots of drugs and went all over the world to sell them. They are pharmaceutical reps.

Well, if someone told me their partner was a sex worker, I wouldn’t start questioning about it as that would be considered pretty rude!

Pillow talk is just chatting in bed right?

Same as you OP. It'd be hot topic in the smoking area / by the water cooler I'm sure but I wouldn't actually ask for the finer details

This is brilliant 😂😂😂

I can imagine my son doing the same when he's older - he's bus/train obsessed.

Unfortunately yes OP, he is 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have had to emphatically explain to him on more than one occasion that our daughter is in childcare and not care. Two very different things!!

P.S I did have a good laugh at your story!!!!

So funny! 😂

How would it be rude?

The fact they're telling you, would be inviting conversation.

Omg. I would have died.

😂😂

3 years ago is T minus 9 months from covid lockdown. Not hard to believe OP has never had much interaction with her DH's coworkers. And what would they say "So your DH tells me you are sex worker?" Hard to spit that out casually.

I have been in my job since 8+ years and my DH has only met a couple of my coworkers. Most of them only once and can't say we discussed his work at all.

Oh Go. My friend from Hong Kong at uni once asked me to look over his application to post-grad law school.

English is his second language and he wrote 'I'm passionate about soliciting'. Thank God he got me to check it. He can be forgiven considering it's his third language but it did make us laugh when I explained.
