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

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

Have fun 🤩

I’m not after a row, but you do realise by constantly replying to negative/nasty/rude comments with your own negative/nasty/rude comments you’re only highlighting them? And it makes you no better 😬

Perhaps best to ignore them like you have suggested.

In the centre of a lettuce

Do you thinks that’s “cos” he’s being silly and this is just the tip of the “iceberg”?

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 11:48

Fucking got it

I’ll do me, but thanks for the unsolicited advice, I’ll ignore it 👍!

Where was it!!

SorryForTheRant · 06/07/2023 11:49

YESSSSSSS

I'm so happy about this. Now you tell him you found it immediately and you asking for a hint was obviously a red herring...

Where was it?!

ClairDeLaLune · 06/07/2023 11:50

In the smoke alarm?

Why is it scary or embarrassing?

Hi there, this isn’t scary or embarrassing. I actually misunderstood OP’s thread and thread title etc. I’ve since read updates and understood better, please remember my comment was right at the beginning of the thread.

Also I was commenting based on my own experiences of this, which was an abusive relationship. I won’t go into what he did to me but ‘games’ akin to this (but cruel etc) were played on me often.

Like I said I misunderstood at first, it was scary and embarrassing for me not for OP.

TiredManDad · 06/07/2023 11:51

You best tell us where now OP or I'm going to be on the side of the fun police on this thread hahaha

Nothing in corner cupboard.

No to light fittings.

No step ladder or step as sprogs are climbers. I am using a BJ stool to teeter about on. He's going to be mortified when he realises the amount I've looked. I'm normally great at this game.

Is a BJ stool like a penis beaker? 😂

Fair enough. I didn’t mean it like that. No need to be aggy.

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 11:51

He's so sneaky. I've looked there hundred times all I could 5hink of was safety safety.
Couple of people had got it
Just uploading pic.. dramatic fanfare for the boring game end

For the first 10 years of our marriage, I got quite bad eczema under my wedding & engagement rings so used to take them off every time I got in. <abusive marriage!!! callers please look away now> My husband used to hide them for fun so I'm well versed in this game. But I need a picture of your kitchen. Then I'll be able to tell. Assuming he has the same techniques as my husband 😂

Absolutely, if we don't get to find out I'll start the campaign for a lifelong ban 😂

Stravaig · 06/07/2023 11:52

Now, what's your revenge going to be?

Thank you I will 👍🏻

Pennybubbly · 06/07/2023 11:53

Oh .... just saw you'd found it after I posted that essay 😂

KinderCat · 06/07/2023 11:53

Gosh so many people chose to click on a link and read a post and either complain about this existing, make some pretty wild inferences about their relationship or get very judgey about a relationship that isn't theirs...it's a bit of light hearted fun and if OP is happy why not?

Whilst I wouldn't like my rings being hidden I am all for relationships having their own little quirks and things you do. Glad you found it OP!

Wtf is this meant to be some amusing game because it sounds like a completely fucked up relationship to me.

Yes. Mucking around with your partner is absolutely abuse. 🙄
