Husbands birthday ….is 58 the new 75 ?

[Ariadneslostthread]

DH birthday today. He requested, from whole family , and was bought, a piece of tech for his guitar ( he is ex session guitarist ). Firstly complained “it didn’t come charged”. Secondly now complaining it is “too millennialised to use” , and wants to send it back. Is it just me who thinks he is a miserable old bugger who should get with the 21st century ?. I took him for coffee and cake, the coffee shop was “to dark and oppressive” ( ummmm…no, painted brown like coffee beans). I got day leave from hospital to put up with this sh*t. AIBU ?

What an ungrateful oik.

Shit marriage generally i am guessing

I’d probably say to him next time it’s your birthday I’m doing NOTHING for you, because you are miserable, ungrateful, rude and horrible. Sometimes you need to level with people.

That’s a quote btw!

He asked for something without knowing exactly how it worked? He's being ungrateful. He can learn how to use it. If he won't, return it and give everyone their money back.

He’s a dick. Nothing to do with age.

He's become a grumpy old man. What a bore.

If he's anything like my late OH it wasn't exactly the same as the one he had when he was twenty so he was annoyed. I recall in the 80s the girls wanted to buy a charity single, he gave them 50p and looked horrified when we told him it wasn't enough.

I'd tell him he's an ungrateful git. Next year get him a pipe and slippers!

He's a twat. Put a reminder in your phone for next year not to bother.

This is it. In a nutshell. Made in 1989, highly superior, made now “millennial crap”……

From you Op on another thread

follow your own advice

My 66 year old DH is nothing like this. It’s not age, it’s personality. He’d be getting a fucking good talking-to for his birthday from me.

And he did this morning!. he was quite offended. I don’t think he’ll do it again !!!!
