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

You seem happy that this is a prank.

I would be quite unhappy about this. You are an adult. It is your home too. You should be allowed to leave something somewhere (you've obviously done it for a reason, to protect rings while washing up for example) and come back to the item being where you left it!!!

He's wasting your time.

If you didn't know he'd taken it you might be anxious about a lost, important item.

It's the sort of thing indecent men do to abuse partners (not suggesting this is the case here).

Egg cups. Check in any eggs cups. And ask him to play different sorts of pranks in the future.

I need the ring to sell or how else will I pay to divorce?

Haha!

PineappleLatte · 06/07/2023 09:07

Is DH tall? Look on top of the cabinets.

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 09:07

No to teabags and freezer as that's in seperate room.

I'm guessing it's been left loose depending on where it is.

Yes yes all very childish and tedious.

This is just bonkers.

GeekyDiva80 · 06/07/2023 09:08

Maybe he'd got a surprise like adding an extra diamond to it. You never know!

2boysandagirltoo · 06/07/2023 09:09

You need to think like a man here, it will be in the most ridiculous place... think washing machine drawer, in the sugar, or somewhere else completely nonsensical

AppleKatie · 06/07/2023 09:10

Stacked plastic cups. The bottom or middle one.

AutumnCrow · 06/07/2023 09:10

Can I be the first to nominate this NOT to go in Classics.

Princesspeachee · 06/07/2023 09:11

Am I the only one who thinks this is just a bit of lighthearted fun 🤣

EvilElsa · 06/07/2023 09:11

How old is he, 6? Just don't look. Don't talk about it. If he asks if you have found it shrug and say no. Don't be even the slightest bit interested or bothered. He's a weird, smug dickhead.

golddustwomen · 06/07/2023 09:11

Why is everyone so bloody serious on this app these days.

OP this is something my and oh would do, completely light hearted.

Check inside every mug! In between all the cutlery. In the sugar bowl! Do you have any ornaments in the kitchen?

Checked all glasses, cups, egg cups etc.

Quite poor so doubt about the extra diamond.

Nice thought though.

@Princesspeachee finally!

Screwballs · 06/07/2023 09:12

Christ, some panties need unbunching on this thread!

DRS1970 · 06/07/2023 09:12

In the sugar, or flour, or similar?

golddustwomen · 06/07/2023 09:13

I like pp's suggestion of thinking like a man.. so the oven or microwave?

BestZebbie · 06/07/2023 09:13

Umm, in the same vein as taking it from you and hiding it in the first place...round the handle of the broom so he can complain that you don't housekeep properly if you don't find it?

GalileoHumpkins · 06/07/2023 09:13

What a jolly jape! He's slipped it on to his penis and gone to work...

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 09:13

Sorry yes very light hearted. I often take his when he's making pastry but tend to just wear it till he spots.

Also, I'm not telling him I've found it.

Why wouldn't you put that in your OP?

Engagement rings don't really hold their value, unless the diamond is the size of a rock.

Fridge?
