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

Why?

Why is it cringe or why am I not sing?

Why is it cringe? I’ve no idea why your sing?

I find this really funny as long as it's all in good fun and not in a controlling way then I don't know why people are so mad.
I agree with pp is it in the sugar? Is it in a light shade?

Your DH sounds a bit nasty, but that fact that you go along with this nonsense may say something about the relationship.

Happytalky · 06/07/2023 20:54

Hi Op,

You and your OH sound like fun! Just saying!

Partly concerned having seen PP instructed OP to check her bowels 😲 everything alright down there OP?

unrelated but also wondering how many of the illogical serial neggers are actually bots 🤔 @Tidsleytiddy ? Surely no other explanation?!

Good grief. Unclench.

You know that all relationships are different, right? And that's actually ok ...

What I forgot to mention is we are both avid erm metal detector-ers. So really this is just a nice way of him giving me some practice.

Right he's on his way for lunch, so hidden ring and put magnet lock back where it was.

So ring is on top of hob plug, teeny diamond side in. Thanks again guys was fun.

Before you go, can you please confirm to all who asked that a BJ stool is what we are thinking it is?! 🤣

NannaKaren · 07/07/2023 17:46

What a prick !
can you leave him !

Bluewallinspring · 07/07/2023 18:15

Is your husband 12?

TrixieMixie · 07/07/2023 18:18

Pawn shop

Is your husband 12?

No I don’t think a husband could be 12? What a realy odd question

Pumpkinspice13 · 07/07/2023 18:23

What a miserable lot in the comments section!

DVL · 07/07/2023 18:35

Why are people getting butt hurt about this…they’re having a laugh jheeeeez so serious

mia778 · 07/07/2023 18:35

Sounds like a bit of a weirdo, why even do that

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 09:49

Nope still not found.

DM called and she also found it very odd.

Nothing in cutlery drawer. Ice cube was genius but freezer in other room. Plus he wouldn't be that invested. Nothing on any appliance!

I'm surprised I haven't found it. He's not very good at this game.

Have you got a roll you put kitchen towels on? Could it be slipped onto one of them?

supersop60 · 07/07/2023 18:45

Late to the thread. Hilarious- both the OP and the miserable comments.
My DM and exbf used to exchange a crappy China ornament at Xmas and birthdays, always disguised as something else.

Fight fire with fire. Hide his car keys (or other item that will drive him mad).

Hahahah that’s great !

go for it !

add the phone inside this car first, lock it and go to bed.

1st you need to find it, second you need to put it somewhere else. When he returns claim you havent found it and when he goes to get it and its not there let him sweat as he will think he has lost it.

Oh! It's so nice to read that someone else would think like me! 😆

I know that some MNers are all PO'd and upset because this sisn't a serious thread. Does every single post have to be serious? Even the news will have light-hearted blurbs now and again. Lighten up, I am sure something horrid will happen to someone soon, and we all will be there for it, either being supportive or contrary.

Nanaof1 · 07/07/2023 19:25

OP--I got to the thread late but have had fun laughing at you and your DH's un pranks. Laughing even harder at the butt-hurt people who got mad that this wasn't a "My husband is abusive" thread.

Heck, my DH beats me up every morning.

He gets up at 6 a.m. and I get up at 7:30 a.m.

I'll see myself out now...😎😇🤓

LovelyIssues · 07/07/2023 19:35

In a mug in the cupboard. Don't know why everyone has a problem with a playful relationship?!
