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

Because its funny😂

My brother does this , he once told his wife that she looked like a wrestler from WWF as she was wearing a 1 shoulder top ( all the rage at the time ) but like you she never wore it again !
personally I’d find it funny , so can’t really help you much , but if you are getting annoyed then he should stop

Yes, mickey-taking isn’t always mean spirited. A bit of silly, immature joshing is good for the soul!

OP shouldn't have to treat her DH like a child in order to stop him being immature and disrespectful.

So when someone finds something funny they just ignore that someone else is upset about it? Nice 🙄

My friend was shopping with her DH once, and the friend was very excited to show him a very expensive white puffa coat she’d had her eye on (potential Christmas gift) & he just said “snowman”. She ripped it off, and never went back to the shop!

I have a couple of pairs of dungarees, when I wear them DH starts singing “Come on Eileen” or doing violin actions. I find it very funny and we both laugh, guess it’s different if it doesn’t amuse you though…

I need to see this top 😬

On the fence, DH has some awful hilarious styles going on. I take the piss, still love him though.

I will never wear my red and white striped top with jeans again.
Yes I have those little round glasses as well.
All good bit cold outside put my wooly hat on and went to the corner shop.
Walked in only to hear two words “where’s Wally?”

🤣🤣

The number of times I’ve thought “Suzi Quattro’s Nan” and “fat matchstick” to myself when trying on inappropriate clothes! These two comments have been amongst my most major takeaways from MN over the years.

I get it, some people find this sort of thing funny, others find them insulting. If your DH insists on ribbing you after you’ve told him the comments hurt you, that’s not on. He’s basically taking joy out of hurting you, which is sadism. But if you’re just a bit put out or a bit offended/insulted, just give as good as you get. And be aware that there may be other people out there who will reach the same conclusion as him (if you care)!

I guess he’s got one thing right, given you’ve married a caveman 😊

Team DH.

Is it this one? Only £2.2k. Maybe you should tell him it's Armani and you bought it in homage to the great man.

I think it could have been funny at first and just a joke but the fact it upset you and he continues is not kind at all.

I think it’s funny and not an insult, but if you’ve said stop he should

Fabulous 🤣♥️

Oh god I’d love to have a DP with that kind of humour! Who cares what he thinks - you’re an adult - lighten up!

I have a pair of cropped wide legged tan cords I love and every time DH sees me in them he says 'Aargh!' because he thinks they make me look like a pirate.

There is a real lack of emotional intelligence with some posters here.

OP your top sounds cute!

Once or twice maybe but beyond that is what my Dad has always called, "milking a joke"... and that's from a man who commented when I was wearing something similar "Come on in love, can I get your top a drink?"

And for a cartoon.. gorgeous 😍 🤣🤣

If he almost fell off the stool at the breakfast bar at the sight of a fluffy armless garment, he is clearly not up to the rigours of Stone Age life, even a cartoon version. Send him out to get some stegosaurus ribs for the barbecue to prove he is deserving of Betty.

I had a fluffy top. I’m also tall and gangly so I looked like a tarantula

There is a real lack of emotional intelligence with some posters here.

And a sense of humour bypass for others.

@CalzoneOnLegs I'm glad I'm not the only one who found the 'Coco the Clown' post hilarious!
