As per the title - Easter Sunday is off to a dreadful start with ā€˜D’ H and I already having had an argument.

Some background, we have individual insta’s but for any major ā€˜announcements/events’ as such we will use the collaboration feature so the post appears on both our grids. Think engagement, wedding, pregnancy-gender reveal/birth, anniversary etc.

It’s our DD’s first Easter so I’ve got her a brilliant outfit, some props and of course eggs. I’ve also got a personalised sort of sign which says it’s her first Easter.

I said to H I’ll get the photos done after breakfast and we can joint post. He says it’s stupid to do this and doesn’t warrant all the effort as it’s ’only Easter’ so he won’t be putting it on his grid.

AIBU to feel pissed off with him? It will look strange if it’s only on my page.

Where did he bring it from? Was it one of the props?! What were the rest of the ā€œprops?ā€

Crown of thorns? Vinegar soaked cloth?

I’m muting notifications now. At the end of the day, us ladies need to know our worth - if you aren’t happy with something your
partner has or hasn’t done, then tell them.

Know your worth but bully and stifle your husband your husband into submission so he doesn’t know what his worth is

like I said before, this comes across as unauthentic and insincere. I hope your husband takes a stand against this crazy behaviour and you open your eyes to your delusions

Her husband is the prop! 🤣

The op has gone now, so I can post what I wanted to say a while back.

im going to assume that op and her dh are good looking, or at least can use filters/make up well - I think most who do this shit are.

doesn’t that make being good looking an absolute curse rather that a positive? If you have been brought up without learning about inner worth

your life is more vulnerable to becoming fake, just for show, your spouse is selected on looks rather than personality/compatibility etc nothing good

I know an insta woman who is 50 and trapped in a miserable marriage. Her whole life is for show and divorcing will ruin that image. They can’t stand each other, and haven’t for years, but up the photos still go.

I hope he's busy 'curating' the costumes for Halloween, looking forward already!

I couldn't agree more, @Thirteenblackcat.

I can't understand why a faked, Instagram happy family picture matters more to some people than actually being a happy family. Right at the start of the thread, @Whatslovegottodo25 knew her husband was in a bad mood, but expected him to pretend to be happy for the pictures.

@ReadingSoManyThreads

i’m still laughing at the easter props. That made this whole nonsense thread worthwhile. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

I feel sorry for the kid - by some fluke she may grow up into a decent, rounded human but given the values of her mother, its about as likely as snow in the Sahara.

Catsbreakfast · 21/04/2025 14:38

People who love their life to impress people on social media are pathetic. Go out and touch some grass.

Its a pity you consider your worth to be defined by Instagram

Exactly this. What a sad day for women.

CherubEarrings · 21/04/2025 19:01

I feel so sorry for your husband. You sound like hard work and pretty shallow.
