I need your help with sneaky DH

Took rings off last night left on side of the kitchen sink.
Came down from work and engagement ring has disappeared....mild panic.

Sneaky DH has hidden the ring. I've feigned disinterest but the stakes are high - we now have a game and I have all morning to find it.

All I've been told is it's somewhere in the kitchen. I've had most of the cupboards out and looked in all the glasses etc.

We have young DC so it's nowhere they would be able to find it.

All very petty and I was on the verge of texting for a clue....

I just can't get over his smug face coming and showing me where it was. It will be somewhere obvious I know it.

AIBU to ask for any suggestions? Please help - I need a win today

On a key hook or actually on your key chain?

Mumsanetta · 06/07/2023 10:41

Haven’t RTFT but has anyone suggested inside tea cups and coffee mugs?

My guess is it’s hidden in plain sight. When he walked into the kitchen and saw the ring what would have been the first thing he saw?

NomadicNarwhal · 06/07/2023 10:42

Do you have safety locks on cupboards - check those.

Medicine box?

Key hook, or in the key slot (depending on type of door you have).

Safety switches for gas / water / electricity, in the fuse box?

HarpyValley · 06/07/2023 10:42

Round the shaft of a piece of cutlery - maybe a knife, given the 'safety' clue?

Merrow · 06/07/2023 10:43

Inside oven gloves?

This

Seriously why are you getting upset by this?!? You’re the one in need of ‘a life’ if this is the kind of thing you have time to get riled about.

We’re all going to hell in a handcart, ‘our’ politicians couldn’t give a fuck that the global south is about to get washed away and boiled alive by climate change. Instead, they’re preparing for our brave new world by systematically stripping away our human rights.

I think your ire is misplaced tbh!

Inside a childproof container?

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 10:43

On a key hook but he has the car key.

Yes checked all mugs, glasses etc. Found a nice mug that I had forgotten about so lost a ring gained a mug.
He would have been at the sink, already checked all round there. Cupboards above have been gone through.

Or the smoke alarm!

IGiveUpalready · 06/07/2023 10:44

in with the washing tablets?

Doteycat · 06/07/2023 10:20

No, you definately sound miserable as fuck.
Just like you think from one or two posts that the DH sounds rediculous, you sound like a misery from your posts.
Funny how that works.

I’m entitled to not think it’s remotely funny

God you are depressing. Can you go and shit all over a different thread?

Sallyh87 · 06/07/2023 10:45

On the key in the kitchen door?

Sat down feeding my two month old and I am getting way too invested in this thread! 😂

Latenightreader · 06/07/2023 10:45

Do you have a bolt on a door it could hang on? Or a door handle? Someone has already mentioned a fire extinguisher/fire blanket, but what about a smoke detector, CO2 alarm or even the stop cock under the sink?

NeedleFeltedFox · 06/07/2023 10:46

Softoprider · 06/07/2023 09:18

So many women come on here asking for help with genuine problems that are awful to read and this?? Really there was no need. I apologise for calling her a twat but not for the rest

It’s in aibu. Unclench.

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 10:46

I thought childlocks. They're the magnetic ones so not sure how he would hook it on without it getting stuck when shutting cupboard.

Nothing with the cutlery.

Ive checked fuse cupboard - that was a good guess there's a spider that lives in there so tend to not go in much. Nada.

No to the smoke alarm.

And we are entitled to think you are miserable.
God you remind me of another poster on an irish forum.
She was a miserable git too.

Cookiesam · 06/07/2023 10:46

Just don't bother looking. He sounds a bit tedious to me.

Tidsleytiddy · 06/07/2023 10:47

And I’m not the only one

Tidsleytiddy · 06/07/2023 10:48

It’s puerile nonsense. If that makes me miserable so be it but lots of pps aren’t finding it amusing either

Inertia · 06/07/2023 10:48

Appreciate that you both think it’s hilarious, but living like this would drive me crazy.

Can’t imagine having hours to devote to this sort of caper.

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 10:49

No fire extinguisher, checked under the sink but pretty sure our stop cock is in the lounge.

He's just text me "any luck?" He's desperate for me to give up.

Yeah honestly guys if you think this is boring just leave I don't mind. I tend to if I think the OPs a bit of a twat.

SwankyPants · 06/07/2023 10:49

Do you have a fire extinguisher or blanket? Or first aid kit?

MMMarmite · 06/07/2023 10:49

This is ridiculous.

Hide and seek is for fun.

You're not finding it fun, so tell him to fuck off, and if needed end the relationship.

Sallyh87 · 06/07/2023 10:49

Medicin pill bottles?
