If your Dh owned this coat, would you make it mysteriously ‘Disappear’

I hate it!

He has lots of lovely clothes, new coat this winter, but always pulls this horror out. A hillbilly, scruffy, donkey jacket.
I realise it’s up to him what he wants to wear and he’s a grown man and it would be wrong for it to mysteriously‘Disappear’

But…would you make this coat mysteriously disappear?

It's embarrassing the way some posters have replied.

Do they not watch any comedy without being over and over shocked and offended?

But to the poster who mentioned her husbands beret 😂😂 I’m sorry, that’s way worse, that would be getting thrown on the fire

A fucking beret! Wtf! If my DH put a beret on I’d piss myself!

@ivegoneswimming It’s insane, feel like they surely must be taking the piss?!

Whilst I understand the desire (I would be tempted to burn it) I probably wouldn’t get rid of it because a) it’s not mine and b) he knows you don’t like it so would know its loss was no accident. There’s no plausible deniability here!

I think the beret surpasses even my DH's harem pants, and that's saying something 🤣

No, I watched my mother pull that sort of rubbish all the time- she's on no 5 I'm on no1. Him liking that coat is part of him-you have to live with it.

Your problem seems very serious for someone not liking their partner wearing a del boy coat.

Image if your DH decided to "disappear" your favourite clothes.

It would be abuse.

I don't think OP is clearing out his wardrobe. You are a man, are you being abused? You seem to be projecting.

Pingu32 · 24/11/2024 03:47

You should start lounging around in it - treat it like a fleece - perfect timing as it's cold. Hopefully, he'd soon see it as just that and as yours - you could really put him off it - then you can donate it to an animal sanctuary unless you find he already has!

My DH is a funny dresser. Often well dressed, either in suits and waistcoats OR an old holy jumper and jeans that have been used for gardening for about 10 years. Literally no in between.

A few years ago, he bought a Frank Spencer style mac. I didn't throw it away, but I did whistle the Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em theme tune every time he wore it. He thankfully retired it. 😂

The DH with the beret should have one of these !

Yes! Haha, poor old Frank. Who'd have thought he'd become a mens fashion icon?! 🤣

Johnthesensible · 24/11/2024 07:49

It isn't your property to make disappear.

There are plenty of my partners clothes i'm not fond of. She dresses the way she likes. It is her choice and vica versa.

Once someone starts making clothes disappear, what's next?

VickyPollard25 · 24/11/2024 08:19

My ex’s mother bought him one of these in green. I hated it too. Even new they are just revolting to me. She rarely bought him anything so he was quite attached to it, but eventually got a bit self conscious wearing it after being teased by a couple of his old school friends. He asked me if I agreed with them and I just shrugged and told him he should wear what he likes (no way was he wearing it after those boys commented so it really didn’t matter what I said and I wasn’t about it to have any negative feelings about it from me reported back to his mother).

Oh dear lord! If my husband wore harem pants my fanny would seal up!

I’ve asked a few times for someone to explain to
me what is funny about getting rid of something of someone else’s. I wonder if you could explain the joke to me.

LJL5454 · 24/11/2024 09:48

There is a time and a place for a coat like that. Never and nowhere

OneHangryRedTiger · 24/11/2024 10:02

No i wouldnt but yeah i get where your coming from 🙂

Stormyweatheroutthere · 24/11/2024 10:05

Ask him to wear it during sex and call him Derek...

For everyone who sees a sheepskin jacket and thinks Delboy I see this:

Now obviously the one in the OP needs a clean and potentially a replacement but there nothing inherently wrong with a sheepskin jacket

Men's Sheepskin Box Coat

Cantbearsedwiththosepeskyelves · 24/11/2024 10:34

@Mirabai It was like that at first years back! Its proper sheepskin, was quite pricey and from Zara men and trendy at the time, now it looks scruffy and awful though 😕

I get that, so could you buy him a new one for Christmas.

The funny thing for me is that it looks like Del Boys coat and OP who loves her DH cringes when he wears it. So she jokes and says should she make it disapear? Which other posters get because they would feel the cringe too.

Some people laugh at slightly inappropriate things all the time. Most comedians take the piss out of things. Do you not like any comedians?

You didn't find this funny but many of us did. I don't think for one minute that her DH is falling victim to domestic abuse because of this one thread.
