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

@tumblingdowntherabbithole it’s almost as if……

Or this

I wonder whether it’s the spirit in which it’s done that makes the difference.

LOL, DH laughs at me and calls me Wally (from the Wally puzzle books) when I wear striped tops. I just laugh at him and counter with an equally silly/sarcy name for him. If he becomes really persistent or annoying about it I escalate with him and give as good as I get. I like striped tops so he can bog off!😁

Men can just be really annoying, but I'm usually sharper than him when I bother to try, so he usually regrets irritating me. 😁 😎

I have a checked shirt, every time I wear it husband says yee ha - because I like it. and am confident in it it doesn't bother me. I think if he's either irritating you or you are not sure about it it may grate. But would suggest speak to him when he hasn't just said it.

5 pages in and no bloody pic!!

Being able to laugh at each other affectionately is a sign of a healthy marriage in my book. Some of OH's asides crack me up, as do mine to him. When that stops happening I'll know we're in trouble.

Being able to laugh at yourself is... kinda essential to mental health in this world.

You've got to know when to stop of course, otherwise it all gets a bit... Colin Hunt

I wouldn’t worry. My DH takes the mick out of me every time I wear my Birkenstock dupe sandals - he calls them my 2000BC’s 🤣

I once bought a pale pink dress with cream spots

Dp told me I looked like Mr blobbys nan

I laughed but if he'd upset me he would have been mortified

He gives me an honest opinion if I ask for it (and annoyingly,he's always right) but if he strayed into bullying/i got upset,he would say sorry and do everything he could to make it right again

Betty rubble is sexy,his bullying isn't

I didn't have to, sadly I'm old enough to remember!

You were 'crying with laughter'?

I was wearing a turtle neck and was telling DS11 to hurry up and get ready and he said 'ok, relax Steve Jobs'.

Me, in new linen capri pants - ‘what do you think?’

DH - ‘good fit…………………………………..have you always wanted to be a pirate?’

My favourite so far

Excellent 🤣🤣

Yes. And your point is?

That you are exceptionally easily amused. I'm envious, in a way. It must be quite nice to be able to laugh (to the point of crying) at such simple, anodyne humour.

I think it’s more because of the swooshing noise when I walk and the general overall look. Regardless it’s a bit of banter and I can’t believe the comments on this thread turning things into something they aren’t. There must be some seriously hard work houses/relationships out there!

Laughing is good for the soul. So is switching on your imagination. You should try it. It might help you lighten up.

Have a nice life 😁

I had a friend when we were younger and going out clubbing would wear the bircks arizona all the time - she became known as the girl who always wore the Jesus sandals 🙈🙈🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣

“Pack it in Steve. You’ve got a tiny penis but I don’t make jokes about acorns every time you enter a room, do I?”

My thoughts exactly re: hard work.

Life can be hard enough without creating more drama/offence/hurt feelings etc out of virtually nothing.

Some people need to get the stick out of their ass!

My husband insisted I looked like lord farquart from Shrek after my last haircut. I wouldn't pay your husband much notice.

Oh yes suzie quatros fat nan is one of my faves but now I’m adding one hundred and eighteeee and come on Eileen.

Wasn’t that the old sheepskin jacket or lumber jacket he’d been wearing for years?
