OP in our house we play a game where we stick stickers from fruit or veg on each others’ clothes. Teenage DD started the game, now we all do it. DH recently went to the theatre with 3 on him. Person behind asked if his grandchildren did that. Umm no - it was my wife!

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.

I'm all for having fun, but surely hide and seek is a kids game.

Mamabear2424 · 09/07/2023 08:42

Is this a fun joke post or a serious mind game? i am confused

applepuff · 09/07/2023 08:46

Let's play a game called look for the stick. Found it, up lots of people's arses 😂

mrlistersgelfbride · 09/07/2023 08:47

You can have fun and a laugh in your relationship without playing daft games involving hiding each others possessions.
Just could not be arsed. Who does that!

I remember when my SIL locked BIL in the toilet and the whole house (of ILs) fell about laughing.
I prefer laughing at things that are actually funny.

Glad you found the ring, OP 👍

I don't love such games either, but how bitter do so many posters have to be to actively criticise/comment/police on this thread / someone else's marriage where they seem to be having fun 😅

I genuinely can only think it smacks of sourpuss & sour grapes, even if they'll vehemently deny it lol

SwansLake · 09/07/2023 08:55

This is odd. Just get on with your day.

mrlistersgelfbride · 09/07/2023 08:59

@applepuff I guess I don't find it funny as my pet hate is loosing things, so I'm glad I don't have to play games about it 😆
But yeah a lot of people have been overly critical.
I'm glad the OP is having fun.
I'd rather do something else but crack on.
At least it's been found now!

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

This sounds like my kinda relationship. The hubster and I are doing this all the time. Sometimes takes weeks to find. After 26years together we still find it amusing. Have you tried the freezer?? 🤓

Make him a drink, laced with laxative and hide all the loo rolls

TheOrigRights · 09/07/2023 09:28

Outspoken61 · 08/07/2023 23:41

He sounds like a controlling twat - get rid!

Please don't confuse controlling behaviour with what is a little bit of fun for this couple.

That would make you an abusive twat.

On a light fitting?

Catlady1978 · 09/07/2023 10:56

@SniggleSnarf my DH always uses to do this - I’d get warm or cold depending how close I was. Annoyed me immensely as I just found it childlike and unnecessary. He took great amusement in it. Just ignore it if I were you and wait for him to have his child like fun and give them back. I can imagine there are other things he finds funny too which you don’t. Personal experience here. 🙄

Lucyh999 · 09/07/2023 10:56

TallahatchieBridge · 06/07/2023 09:02

I'm wouldn't join in and I'd just tell him to give me the ring back (or don't)!. I'm too grown up for stupid games!

You sound fun.

@TheOrigRights maybe it is just ‘fun’ for this couple but maybe it is also part of a bigger picture. It’s only fun if both parties are laughing. Having been on the end of this I personally don’t find anything funny about it. Why hide something so valuable to her and turn it into a game 🤷‍♀️ it’s like dealing with another child

It is fun for this couple as OP has already said so.

Well you called it a daft game and 'who does that'.
OP and her husband like to play the game, nothing to do with possibly millions of people who wouldn't like it, but why feel the need to leave a negative comment about a game that doesn't involve you.

I don't like certain posts on mumsnet and sometimes get sucked in by the title. Bit when I realise it's not my thing, I leave it alone and find something else.

Strange for people who don't like this thread to keep coming back to it.
Why not un-follow it?

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.

👏👏👏, well said.
I can't imagine myself going on a post about something I don't find interesting and leaving negative comments on it.

Then to keep going back to the post instead of clicking unwatch is bizarre.

OP had time 'to waste' as some put it but at least she was doing something she actually enjoys.

Staying on a post you don't enjoy shows how truly miserable the joy sucker attempters are.

Someone even said games are only for kids 😂.
Misery loves company but keep your fun games OP. Seems the miserable have enough people on here to keep them company.

We can only go on what the OP is telling us. She has said many, many times that it's a game they enjoy, there is nothing sinister, that she understands it's not something every couple would find fun.

So your personal take on it is entirely irrelevant. As you would not enjoy such games I hope you are not in a relationship where your partner would hide things.

It's baffling that people can't understand that what is fun for some people is not fun for others.

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.

Have you read the read? It is a game they play with each other. She also hides his stuff that he has to find. It is a light hearted game between them.

She’s probably shagged with him last night, because they’ve got a great relationship!
