Husband is meanypegs

[Belleweather]

I'm naturally very blonde, platinum. Menopause causing hair thinness and my DD cut my very long hair off for me to a chin length blunt bob 3 weeks ago. I'm only 49 Ffs. Today my husband (? Hmm) said to guests at a dinner that he thought I looked like Jimmy Saville. AIBU to never like him again? Utterly humiliated. I am a lot younger than him and he has done this sort of thing before. So hurt and embarrassed, Considering shaving my head.

If this is true, then I would leave him.

Meanypegs? What fresh hell is this phrase?

YANBU except from meanypegs, what is that?!

If your children are grown up, and you don't like this man, why do you stay with him?

He's an utter wanker, as well as a meanypegs (whatever that is).
Is he Adonis? A sex god? A loving, kind, generous husband and father?
No, I didn't think so.

Meany pegs is from Charlie & Lola, my DD used to watch it all the time.
Strange turn of phrase to use here.

@LeonBlack @TeaKitten My thoughts exactly 🤣

OP, yabu purely for using language like that at 49. Yanbu if your DH keeps putting you down like this

Meanypegs?

Yabu your language is confusing and sounds lighthearted.

there is nothing lighthearted about the humiliation you are feeling. Your DH is a prick.

If you retaliated with meanypegs I think you might be even.

He’s an arsehole obviously. But maybe get your hair cut by a professional first, and then think about divorce. Shaving it isn’t going to help.

We absolutely have a completely minor obsession with Lauren Childs' work here and never heard this phrase before. Never heard/read Charlie and Lola actually falling out or calling each other names. Is there a newer series where this has come from or something?

Was he drunk?

Also WTF no one should call anyone Jimmy Savile. There's a creepy guy at work who's a dead ringer for him and I'd still never say it. Your husband is BU there OP.

Now then, now then, I have here a letter saying that your DH is a prickypeg

You could start smoking a cigar

It's a long time since I've watched Charlie & Lola, but it was an obsession here too for a while. I think it's the Chinese puppet show episode where they can't stop bickering and are sent to the simmer down chairs.

Still love Charlie and Lola. We like the episode where they take sizzles for a walk. “Oh no! There are two Sizzles’s!” Lol

Meanypegs?
Are you 5!?

Meanypegs made me laugh out loud before I'd even opened this

I'm crying 😭

On a serious note, no he shouldn't have said you look like Jimmy Saville.

Hows about that then? Outrageous.

It wasn't nice for him to say. Is it a good haircut? Maybe it needs a little shaping.

He embarrassed himself! His guests must have thought he was awful! No one likes anyone who says such mean things out loud. You won't look anything like Jimmy Saville either.

Ffs at the PPs policing OPs language.

I'm so sorry that your husband behaved that way, OP. Hair thinning can be really distressing and what he said was incredibly insentive and cruel, especially in front of other people. I bet your new haircut looks amazing.

Has he apologised?
