I need your help with sneaky DH

734 replies

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 08:57

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

This is actually just wasting your day. He's using up your time..

It's really sad that you think a fun game is wasting time.

Dogsfirepitsandwine · 06/07/2023 11:36

Where do you keep the key for the electric meter box? Or a safe key?

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 11:36

Sorry it was a microwave foot! I didn't get the surprise of finding out DH is a serial killer.

Under the bag in a cereal box?

Blinkblank · 06/07/2023 11:39

Do you have a safe??

KimberleyClark · 06/07/2023 11:40

Pet food tins?

Pebblesontheside · 06/07/2023 11:40

God how tedious. Takes all sorts I suppose

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 11:40

Carry on with your day, absolutely no one is forcing you not too..

Have fun 🤩

Bookworm20 · 06/07/2023 11:41

If you are having renovations, any tools or safety googles laying around?
Or areas the dc can't get into?

FloydPepper · 06/07/2023 11:42

Jesus. Op has been very clear it’s a bit of fun, she’s fine with it, she’s does the same to him.

so many people deciding he’s abusive when they’re just both having a bit of a laugh

Blinkblank · 06/07/2023 11:43

Safety is key

is there an anagram in that anywhere?

LateMumma · 06/07/2023 11:43

Do you have plug socket covers on? Could be balanced on this? Any cleaning/medicine products with a safety cap?

Greenfree · 06/07/2023 11:44

Is there a blind he could have hooked it on?

Pennybubbly · 06/07/2023 11:44

In with some cotton wool?
In a ring box (ie don't lose it)

Bookworm20 · 06/07/2023 11:45

I think you need to upload some crime scene photos OP, so we have a better idea of the layout and possible hiding options :)

Summerscomin · 06/07/2023 11:45

I'd love this game 🤣 read OP's replies and was convinced oven glove, but I see that's been suggested.
Has anyone said smoke alarm?

Toooldtocareanymore · 06/07/2023 11:45

sorry only now read the whole string of messages, and see fridge is out, so you have checked smoke alarms, first aid and medicines out of room, so focusing on clue do you have one of those fire blankets for throwing over pots if kitchen on fire, or an extinguisher under the sink? maybe washing up gloves or disposable gloves it could be in, specific safety equipment for young kids aside from cupboard locks you already checked like a stairgate on doorway?

Icandothis1970 · 06/07/2023 11:45

If kitchen has a back door and you leave key in lock, has he hung the ring on the key and inserted key back into lock?

He's a bloke it's a perfectly normal sport on here

Mine too. Also Ex.

Glad I don’t have to navigate the bizarre controlling ‘games’ designed to scare and embarrass me anymore . .

Why is it scary or embarrassing?

ladycardamom · 06/07/2023 11:47

In the centre of a lettuce

ClairDeLaLune · 06/07/2023 11:47

Blimey there’s a lot of fun sponges on this thread! Is he a lot taller than you OP? It will be somewhere high up I bet.
