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

I can’t believe the negative nasty comments this lighthearted post has summonsed up.

Absolutely. I think it's the nastiest bunch of comments I've actually ever read on MN, which is saying quite a lot.

Glad you just ignored the nastiness, OP, and went on with the game Flowers

Because MN is for adult conversations, not for "adults" playing hide and seek!

I am so stating this in my house, love it! Carry on having fun x

Oh dear sourpuss. How dare adults mess about.

threatmatrix · 08/07/2023 14:03

I’ve just been told it’s because MN is for ‘adults’ what a negative Annie lol

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

😂

GUARDIAN1 · 08/07/2023 15:49

Haven't read through all replies so you may have found it by now. I wouldn't have been amused if this happened to me. I wouldn't have bothered looking for it either.

AllAboardTootToot · 08/07/2023 16:11

What a bunch of boring moaning faced shits that exist on MN!

Where does it say that? Are you mistaking this for boringoldfartsnet.com?

cilaskakaos · 08/07/2023 19:25

Is there a fire alarm in the kitchen?

MechyMagic · 08/07/2023 19:39

Well sod you lot - I enjoyed this thread 🤣🤣 let us know how round two goes!

Sophie89j · 08/07/2023 19:41

I’m assuming it’s an ongoing joke or type of joke between you both or you wouldn’t be expecting it to be a game.
Do you have anything sentimental to your relationship in the kitchen? That’s where mine would hide it if we did such a game…
I absolutely love all the anger from other MNer’s though.

Battytriker · 08/07/2023 19:56

Well done for finding it! My DH and DS used to play this game with a weird little hippo toy...... when DS was a teenager! They used to move it all round the living room or kitchen till the other found it, they had great fun for a while. 😀

MIBnightmare · 08/07/2023 20:14

OMG so many fun sponges on here !! DH and I married for 30 years and do this stuff all the time .. we bloody love it !!

Ours is my eternity ring .. and cufflinks that gave him for our 25th.. I am currently 23-18 up ..

καλοκαλoκαιρι · 08/07/2023 20:40

Don’t worry pal, nobody’s forcing you to go round and play :)

2bazookas · 08/07/2023 21:44

Where's his car keys and phone?

badluckorbadvibes · 06/07/2023 09:00

I wouldn't even waste my time on this.

Just crack on with your day?

Absolutely this. I've neither the time or inclination for this shit.

pyjamasallday22 · 08/07/2023 22:07

Honestly this thread has highlighted everything that's wrong with MN and life in general actually. Someone starts a fun thread highlighting a harmless game they have with their dh and so many bitter, jealous, miserable fun sponges come along and try to bring her down.

If you think it's lame that's ok by the way, but if you really need to stop and take time out of your life to tell her how lame it is...well that says more about you than it does anyone else.

MLL76 · 08/07/2023 22:41

Yep this.

MLL76 · 08/07/2023 22:43

hind things

Hmcs · 08/07/2023 23:20

This is all very handy as I put my engagement ring somewhere safe about 4 months ago and haven’t found it since

so will look in all of these spots
