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

[Cantbearsedwiththosepeskyelves]

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?

That’s what I came to say!

No, of course not. He obviously loves it, and it's really not that bad. I'd be beyond furious if he got rid of any of my clothes.

Talking about playing to stereotypes..

In what way is it acceptable to make fun of - or even worse deliberately sabotage - a piece of clothing someone you are supposed to love likes and feesl comfortable with?

So if we had a thread where a poster is upset because her DH makes fun of her favourite shoes, openly says he hates them, and tries to hide or destroy them...we are all going to have a laugh about that are we? ...

I don't think some posters see the double standards in some threads, I really don't.

This reminds me of some trousers my grandad used to own, they were absolutely dreadful! Very bright, patterned Aladdin style trousers and he loved them - even wore them to the shops. My granny would always try to convince him to bin them or hide them in the wardrobe. I remember he ripped them and she was delighted but he continued to wear them! Absolutely dreadful trousers 🤣 I would have binned them if I was her.

id definitely have a mysterious accident with the jacket OP 🤣

No, it’s your DH’s coat, he can wear whatever he likes. Concentrate on what you wear yourself.

I think it depends on the man. Some men look brilliant/dreadful in anything.

A dryclean might help a bit.

My ex threw away my coat because he decided he didn't like it.

He preferred me to be cold. I froze all winter.

Don't be like that dick.

Sorry to join in the humourless posts but no - imagine if a man posted here saying they were going to get read of their female partners clothes because they didn't like them. Not ok.

If I said anything of that sort to my husband, he'd start wondering about early onset dementia. What a window MN provides into other people's lives!

I appreciated the joke, Pesky Elf.
I asked my husband what he thought... And he liked it! Apparently it is 'manly' and 'practical' 🤣

@PippaKing 😂

@Mekumeku Really?! 🤣

Well I don't see it as a laughing matter: poking fun at your partner on a public, albeit anonymous, forum is a pretty nasty betrayal.
If that's the norm in your relationship fair enough bit it's pretty unpleasant to me.
Perhaps OP should have posted this on the Chat forum where this type of stuff is the norm.

Isn't there a del boy type wearing it in a current advert?

Bin it! 😄🤭

Yes!

Ok, it’s not a donkey jacket, I didn’t actually know what one was, the name just seems to suit it
It was actually trendy around maybe 12 years ago and was nice when new, Zara men I think, but now…😬

I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with that, tbh. It's nondescript, but not offensively awful. I prefer it to the omnipresent Helly Hansen jackets. The giant HH annoys me irrationally.

Are you old like me 😁

My dear old Dad used to wear a donkey jacket to work.

off to Google where the name came from as its a weird name.

So if we had a thread where a poster is upset because her DH makes fun of her favourite shoes, openly says he hates them, and tries to hide or destroy them...we are all going to have a laugh about that are we? ...

It would be full of "he's controlling" "abusive" and "LTB"

Reminds me of this

I agree with this. If I found out my husband was posting photos and mocking my clothes online I'd be upset.

I’d definitely be hoping he wore it out and lost it, it’s really horrible 😂😂

😂

My DH actually asks me advice about his clothes as he thinks I'm more stylish than him.

OP, I'd put it in the back of his wardrobe and hope he forgot about it.

To be fair I'd need to see the shoes first before I commented.

Oh ffs to the serious people making me feel guilty

I’m not going to do it, I realise I don’t have the right to, it’s wrong and i’d be furious if it was the other way around…I just really wish it would go away!!
