Upset about new top

[BykeP]

I bought what I thought was a lovely new top, it’s black, fluffy and sleeveless. DH thinks I look like Betty Rubble from the Flintstones and keeps saying Yabba Dabba Do every time I enter the room.

I don’t think this is funny but he won’t stop laughing. I said he is offending me and I find his comments hurtful but he said it’s too funny to stop.

I refuse to change my top but I think he is unreasonable? I can’t listen to Yabba Dabba Do anymore or be called Betty

I think a lot of the comments on here are funny, but what I wouldn’t think is funny if they just kept saying it over and over again. It’s like, it’s witty when you come out with the first time but when you keep saying it, it’s just annoying. And kind of cringey.

Oh, I laugh plenty. Just not at such simple 'jokes'. I

Got to admit I did actually laugh out loud reading the OP

Doesn’t he mean
Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife…

Love it!! Boycie I am then!

I had to look up FB cardigan- yikes! Also did you know there’s a band called Frank Boughs Cardigan that came up?

This is advice for dealing with school bullies.

That behaviour is not acceptable from your husband.

OP you should "accidentally" spill something hot, or sticky, on him every time he says it.

Ive read you say this on another thread and was trying to remember it, thanks for the reminder, it cracked me up all over again.

Hilarious. I think the PPs with no sense of humour probably don’t have sons.

I mean if your idea of stylish is a sleeveless black fluffy top I think you're proving your own point a bit.

Ok but who fucking cares if other people don't like your coat?

Also it's a bit rich of you to mock your daughter struggling to get on a bus, while also saying that her mocking you was enough to ruin a perfectly fine coat for you. Evidently the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree!

My DH told me he really loved a jumper of mine. Because it reminded him of Brian Clough.

And that's just one of many examples.

I think it's funny and it doesn't stop me wearing the clothes. DH only wears jeans and black/navy/grey t-shirts, so anything other than that needs some sort of classification to help him compute.

I have a hat that I really like, but DH keeps saying I look like Jeremy Corbyn in it. One "joke" I could tolerate, but I've repeatedly had to ask him to stop and it's spoiling my enjoyment of wearing it. It's really annoying.

If he keeps saying it after you've asked him to stop, yanbu.

You clearly have zero sense of style or trends.

I mean. She’s the origin of hot women being described as a Betty in Wayne’s World. Sch-wing!

It’s juvenile and probably very annoying but also. Worse things to be called.

Only the young ones. You really missed out. It was a beautiful tv show. Loved it.

I can see where his reaction would be annoying, but to call it "hurtful" seems to me another example of the melodramatic overreaction I often see here. A sensible reaction would be to play along.

Come on, the coco the clown post is hilarious! I am trying to picture the trousers that elicited such a comment and it cracks me up.

Well, you have to remember the rest of the lyrics and sing with full gusto, Op.
Does DH have a stubble line?

Crumbs, we are a family of piss taking bastards. My poor aunt and mum were so pleased with their matching leather jackets and then my cousin shouted Chas and Dave.

My aunt was He-Man and Richard III with various fringes.

Years ago I bought a cap and DH named me Jodie Marsh. Went straight to charity shop. He put on a bit of weight and his short sleeved top looked tight- Eric Bristow. He spent hundreds of £ on some glasses that darken in bright sunlight- Cliff Richard.

Still haven’t seen a photo of the fluffy top 😕

So the next time he wants sex, ask him if he finds Barney Rubble sexy. If he says no, ask why he’d want sex with you then. (He wasn’t comparing you to Betty, he just preferred the name if he tries any of that shit). Tell him it’s the last you want to hear about it or you’ll assume he fancies short, blonde cavemen. Then start taking the piss out of him for that. Be interesting to see how he funny it is then.

Funny to me but that is mostly because I don't care what my dh says about clothes, to a large degree, and I have an unsinkable sense of humour when it's self-deprecating.

I bet that @BykeP‘s DH is slopping around in jeans or joggers, or the shorts version.

No, it really isn't 'hilarious' unless you are very easily amused.
