This candle situation

I love a candle, I know I’m not the only one.

keep having the same discussion with DH…

Please do not use my £30 candle to burn of the smell of your morning poo, or the fish you’ve cooked in the pan, leaving the £2 candles (purposefully dotted in convenient places) untouched. I want my posh ones for relaxing/indulging/quiet time.

DH says a candle is a candle

He’s being completely U, right? Reassure me I’m not mad 😂

For kitchen

Use your fancy candles to burn him alive.

I love candles too, but would only burn an expensive /gifted one now and again to make it last

midgetastic · 29/01/2024 20:20

Better to open a window

I knew this was the only solution

Put air freshener ones in areas like the bathroom that he is likely to burn. Keep posh ones in the hall or living room and then you move them when you want to enjoy them

Damn. Tried to reply to you saying, "I knew this was the only solution."

YNBU. Posh candles are not for poos!

SandandSky · 29/01/2024 20:28

😂😂😂😂

I do like the idea of 1.5kg candle tbf

imagine the amount of poos worth that would be

I agree with him ...

Merryoldgoat · 29/01/2024 20:34

I agree with him - saving things for ‘best’ is a fool’s errand.

CryptoFascist · 29/01/2024 20:35

Make him replace your £30 candle.

Then hide it in a drawer. The trouble is lighting candles never truly covers up poo stink, and eventually you'll start associating it with poo.

Then sadly you will have to go on the candle pyre too. I’m so sorry.

Make sure when burning the posh candles you burn until you get a full melt pool otherwise it can tunnel.

Make sure you get the good candles in the divorce though (obviously 😂)

I’ll be there with Jo Malone in one hand and Neom in the other 👌🏾🤣

Use the posh candles- I am with DH. Why save them?

I do use them! But to enjoy the scent while relaxing…. Not to cover the smell of my 8am turd 😂

YANBU but I wouldn’t expect someone who isn’t into candles to know the difference. Hide the fancy ones away.

EasterIssland · 29/01/2024 21:59

I use for the kitchen when we’ve cooked fish. Leaving the lounge door open so I can still smell.

but not for the turd!

Iamacatslave · 29/01/2024 22:04

@SandandSky your 8am turd 🤣🤣

MorningSunshineSparkles · 29/01/2024 22:08

What psycho keeps a £30 candle in a bathroom?!? Ofc it’s going to get burned after the toilets being used, stick the cheap ones in there and hide the expensive stuff!! 😨
