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

he should stop, because it's completely immature and off putting to repeat a non-funny joke

but you are BU to be hurt and offended. It's only a top, why are you taking it so personally?

You are both ridiculous

He originally started with Wilma then said he didn’t particularly like the character so decided I was Betty instead.

Yes you’re right but he thought it was inappropriate to call me Barney! It was fine first thing as I was wearing a cardigan so he assumed it had sleeves but when I removed my cardigan he almost fell off the stool at the breakfast bar as clearly I represent one of the Flintstones.

Is he this unpleasant in other ways?

I had a black and white houndstooth check jacket in the early 90s… very smart. Princess Diana also had one. My DH and DS decided they didn’t like it, so it was known as the Jacket From Hell - I deliberately wore it to DSs school concert.😁
There were the Aladdin trousers from 1983 ( comments about magic carpets and rubbing lamps all evening ). and a cream leather coat with a large faux fur cream collar - I was known as ZsaZsa Gabor when I wore that.

I take no notice at all OP, it’s just mickey taking, and my DH & DS were champions at it!

Hahaha 🤣 Team DH.

Sounds like your DH and I have a similar sense of humour, thing is I’d be saying it about myself and my friends and family would join in. It only funny if everyone finds it funny

Oh god I do this sort of thing to DP all the time. 'Ian Beale, as I live and breathe!' for a particularly hideous striped polo shirt, for example. Is it really cruel?

I'm with your DH on this one 😄

Tell him he looks like Bam Bam and when he asks why smack him upside the head twice

OP, what is it about the joke that upsets you specifically?

🤣 I think you and I can be friends!🙌
I don’t find it cruel, it’s a gentle mickey- take that’s all.

My husband had a hideous shirt in the early days that I used to shout “one hundred and eighty” when he wore it. It was like a shirt you’d wear to play darts.

I have been slagged for wearing an all in one PJ set that made me look like a giant rabbit apparently.

Id find it funny but would stop if the other person was upset.

😀

Yes, I wouldn't mock anyone, especially if they were clearly sensitive about something. But clothes are just clothes, and some are funny.

Can we see a pic of you in the top. Please? We can then say he’s an arse and it’s lovely, or tell you he has a point and you do resemble Barney,

The more you give him a reaction he'll just carry on winding you up. Funny though.

I bought two Tilda coats from Hobbs. A navy and a camel. I put on the camel one to have lunch with my daughter and she called me Del Boy.
It's never been out of my wardrobe since.

Oh no!! I’ve got the Tilda but fortunately in dark green as camel isn’t my colour. I suspect DH would have said the same if I had the camel one.

Sell it quickly on eBay before too many read this …

It was sort of funny the first time, but to keep on taking the piss is just bullying.

Dark green is Boycie.

He's easily alarmed. Does he get out much?

Wear it, get a suitcase and ask her if she wants to buy some dodgy gear.

I've got a wool coat my husband hates, he calls it a granny coat (to be fair it completely hid my baby bump when I was 8 months gone)
I've promised him I'm going to be buried in it

I also got myself a nice burgundy blazer once that upon wearing looks almost exactly like my Sainsbury's uniform at the time
