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

It must be nice to be so easily amused.

I guess I just think that not everything has to be so serious.

DH and I often wind each other up and take the piss - if I really want to annoy him I just ignore his attempts at annoying me.

Or maybe people should lighten up. Not everything is a LTB issue!

Well, it takes all sorts.

I'm just very glad I'm married to a man who can take the piss out of himself and doesn't take himself too seriously.

Really?

So he's making no-one laugh and yet he persists? What a delightful man

“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.”

Essentially he's an idiot who doesn't mind upsetting you for the sake of his childish sense of humour.

Entirely up to you what you do about it.

If everything else is absolutely perfect in your relationship, I’d have a long conversation with him about him deliberately hurting you like this.

Sorry but 🤣.
If that was my DH though, I’d probably reply something like you’re hilarious you. Should be on the stage.
I’d still wear the top if I really liked it as well.

This is the thing - doesn't matter what the joke is...once someone (anyone) has expressed embarrassment or hurt, you let it drop, even if you do find it funny.

Personally speaking, I think the Flintstones "Betty" pisstake is pretty basic.
To keep on with it was moronic.
I'm just not a 'point and laugh' sort of person.

I get that it isnt for you or I, but if OP is hurt by something and her partner continues to do it then it can become a LTB issue. There is no way I could be in a relationship with a man who did not respect me and chose to hurt me. What OP is hurt over isn’t really the problem here, it’s the man who continues to do it.

but he said it’s too funny to stop.

Even if that were true things constantly repeated get unfunny pretty quickly.

Just remembered another one.. DH bought me a beautiful sheepskin coat/ jacket, the real deal, it was so warm in a harsh winter.
However he did start calling me John Motson when I wore it!!

I agree with you. From the voting however posters seem to have a very low bar for their partners.

God if I got offended every time my husband made a smart comment about what I wore I wouldn't wear anything at ll 🙈🤣 I wore a fab wide leg trousers and sleeveless top to work other day yes it was all black - are you going to a funeral he says ? I said well it's my day in the office so kinda is and laughed. today wearing a nice bright jumper - I should be working for the council 😩🤣 I just laugh it off

If my husband said something like that, I'd think he's an idiot.

Sorry this has made my day, I would be laughing with him it is funny.

I bought a nice full length Mac for the school walk in winter.I was referred to as Midge Ure ( from the Vienna video)

You are very easily pleased if this has 'made your day'. Good lord. It just isn't that funny.

I haven't RTFT, but am confused as to why anyone would want a top that is both sleeveless and fluffy. I wouldn't know whether I felt hot or cold!

But your husband is being annoying.

I would love to see the top, I bet it's really funky!!

I can't imagine how a fluffy top would look with a cardigan as well though - was the cardigan fluffy too?

I love a fluffy top OP, I'm sure you look great!

If my husband came out with inane remarks like that, I'd be embarrassed I'd picked such a twerp.

If it's anything like this one, I'd be telling a partner what I thought tbh. Awful.

He was actually a smashing man, who I lost to cancer far too early. He made me laugh every single day I was married to him. We both shared a daft sense of humour and I miss him dearly. If you think he was an idiot, he would laugh at you for being po-faced and humourless so 🤷‍♀️

But this is also true.

I am not to me it's banter 🤣🤣🤣 I am not easily offensive
