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

Aw I missed all the fun. This is the sort of stuff me and dh would do if I wore rings!!

It’s about having fun and not being such a bore. Now just logging in to see how long it takes him to find it

I reckon you should pretend you can’t, and when he goes to show you, he then panics cos it’s been moved

I’m off out now so enjoy your childish games x

Haha oh the irony. That's the most childish comment on the thread 😂Wth has it got to do with you what the OP does? And why would she even care about your opinion of her life? Bloody hell, this thread is nuts.

What’s a hob plug please?

EllaDisenchanted · 06/07/2023 13:34

Brilliant, OP! Loved this ;) My husband and I would totally enjoy something like this.

Keep us posted when he gets back 😄

The fucking joy suckers are out in force today, seriously lighten up!

OP when DP 'hid' my rings (for a joke) he put them on the top bit of the mug tree, I put his on the necklace I wear everyday and he didn't notice for 3 days

👌🏻🤣🤣🤣 3 days 🙈

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

Yes they do and I've been one of them in the past. It doesn't mean that someone can't post something daft like this. People can post what they like, you can choose to engage (which you did), if you like.

It's just a bit of 'silly stuff' between a couple and while it's the kind of thing that would piss me off, it's clearly fine for the OP and her DH so it's a bit shit to try and belittle her. Let's not start telling people that they can't post something because you (anyone) don't like it. I don't read half the posts on here.

Thank God I am single. This is pathetic.

I'm sure after reading this no one wonders why you're single love.

Patchw0rk · 06/07/2023 13:57

This thread has cheered up a dull day for me! Good fun! I'm going to hide OH's ring next time it's left by the sink.

You’re single? I’m gobsmacked!

Mumsnet is really going downhill and fast.

INeedAnotherName · 06/07/2023 14:19

Well done OP, that was definitely a good hiding place.

But what is it/used for?

This has given me much joy to read. Love these sorts of things. Silliness is what keeps us young at heart! ❤

Exactly! Like the fake turd that moves around the house, and the plastic spider that gets people Every Single Time, and the rubber egg chucked at you when you're not quite awake.

We are a household of a 52 yo woman and 14 yo son - things get tense. You've got to have your laughs.

Soubriquet · 06/07/2023 15:02

I’ve been known to sneak behind my dh and just standing there quietly. When he turns around, he just about shits himself. It’s hilarious

Vcal2017 · 06/07/2023 11:55

Urgh.
Why do married people do such naff things and then expect everyone to applaud them?
Yay: you have a playful husband. Well done you! 🫤🙄

I know this is cringe as fuck and I'm not single.

YourNameGoesHere · 06/07/2023 08:59

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

You've come to the conclusion that it's a completely fucked up relationship because they're having a bit of fun?? Honestly, this place. 🙄 🤣

That's a shame I was going to offer him to you

I liked the story of the couple who take it turns to hide a plastic raven. That tickled me. I would find it annoying though to have random, personal items hidden just because I’d put them down somewhere.

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

Is it fun? I'd just be hugely irritated

OP had fun, that’s all that matters really?

rainbowstardrops · 06/07/2023 17:26

I'm glad you've found it and re-hidden it but what's with all the negativity from some people?!!!!
I'll give you a heads up, when I don't like a post, I just come out of it and carry on my day! Give it a go!

SoupDragon · 06/07/2023 19:14

SalviaDivinorum · 06/07/2023 16:16

Are you the op? No? Then it's irrelevant really.

The OP enjoyed it and no one else was forced to join in.

SoupDragon · 06/07/2023 19:26

We spent a good few weeks hiding a life sized plastic owl decoy around the house. I won when I hid it in the fridge.

Then there was the "hide the sticker from the apples" game.
