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

He sounds like a controlling twat - get rid!

Iwishikneweverything · 09/07/2023 00:56

Don’t waste your time looking for it. Tell him to get you a new one. Very distespectful to you. You don’t do this to someone your supposed to love.

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

And yet you do have time to sit and fuck about on Mumsnet.

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

Adult conversations? 😂😂😂😂

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.

It’s really drawn out a lot of nasty bitterness hasn’t it. Like pus out of a boil.

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.

I think the OP was joking 🙄

TMess · 09/07/2023 03:22

Whew some of you don’t have a lot of fun. One of my favorite childhood memories is my parents’ ongoing game of hiding their hairbrushes from each other. Just happy nonsense that made us smile.

marmaladeslade · 09/07/2023 03:49

So many people are joyless. It's a bit sad.
Well done OP. HIde something of his next, though definitely don't be like me - I say " I'm just putting this in a safe place" and it is never seen again.

Devilrocknroller · 09/07/2023 03:56

Some posters in this thread have never had fun in a relationship…

Rosietheravisher · 09/07/2023 04:01

If you think that not joining in a lame online game makes a person joyless then you must lack imagination. If that game is all it takes to impress you then I think you night the one who is limited. Each to their own.

TheLadyofShalott1 · 09/07/2023 04:04

Thanks @SniggleSnarf I didn't join in the suggestions, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching the game unfold. But more than anything I love the partnership that you and your husband have got! Playful and fun, and obviously very loving as well, what a great way to spend a marriage 😊 I bet you are both lovely parents too.

You sound like your children are quite young at the moment, but if you possibly can, please keep up the fun and games even when you are old enough to be grandparents! 💐

ThinWomansBrain · 09/07/2023 05:19

give him the wedding ring back as well.

OddSockSeeker · 09/07/2023 06:33

Under his foreskin? Do you really care? I couldn’t be arsed to look. It’s such a shit game. Yeah, hide his car keys. That’ll make it more interesting!

malificent7 · 09/07/2023 07:35

Definitely hide the car keys or the house keys whilst he's out...after locking the front door. Put them in the garden somewhere....like the bottom of the compost heap!

I know where the ring is, it's flown over your head

MrsP20202 · 09/07/2023 07:55

what you need to do is leave him with odd socks, hide only one of every shoe 🤫 me and my husband play like this 🤣

onlygirlintheboysclub · 09/07/2023 07:58

Oh bore off.

Sorry, this was supposed to be in response to someone else's comment OP!

ParentNumeroUno · 09/07/2023 08:01

You have fun playing games with your husband!? This sounds truly awful! Immediate divorce! What is wrong with some people on the Internet? 😂

MrsP20202 · 09/07/2023 08:06

@ParentNumeroUno of course, we find it so fun my husband has even got the 3 year old playing pranks on me now 😂

CakeBeautifulCake · 09/07/2023 08:23

So many people who comment just to add negativity to a light post. No one gives a fuck if you would do it, what you think of it or how you'd ltb if he did it! OP is happy, her DH is happy, why feel the need to come shit on it? Do yous feel better about yourselves now? Go talk politics with your miserable partners in your miserable homes and leave the fun people who actually enjoy playing with their partners to have some fun.
Next time OP could pretend she's having a midlife crisis and her husband is horrible to her just so you miserable ones can feel more comfortable 😘
Long live the fun OP! I've been with my DH for 15years and still enjoy playing silly games. Couldn't imagine having a relationship like two beige socks just sharing the same house.

What makes people joyless is the need to comment negatively on a harmless thread where OP and her DH are having fun. It takes a special kind of miserableness to do that.

MrsP20202 · 09/07/2023 08:29

@CakeBeautifulCake amen to that!
