to expect my dh to notice that I had only one earing in all day?

[IlanaK]

Just getting into pyjamas and paniced as one earing was missing. Dh helped me hunt all over for it. And where did we find it?? In the jewellery box as I had forgotten to put it on this morning. So I am a wally for forgetting, but am I being unreasonable to have expected my dh to notice and tell me!?!?

I once sat through an entire meal in a restaurant with my DH with a blood shot eyeball sticker stuck in the middle of my forehead.

I only realised when I went to the loo and saw myself in the mirror.

I asked him why he hadn't told me and he said 'I thought you knew'...

I feel your pain.

I could come home with my hair the colour of carrots and DH wouldn't notice, perhaps until a few days later... an earing? he would never realise...

YABU
why would you expect someone else to notice.
you didn't.

some people just don't notice that kinda thing.

Perhaps he thought you were making an 80's style fashion statement?

trust me, there are men who wouldn't notice if you had an ear missing...

Idyed my hair bright purple once, took DH's BF to notice four days later,

DH's reaction, 'Huh, Oh yeah!'

YABU

He's a man ffs, you can't expect him to notice anything!!

my DH wouldn't notice if i trapezed through my lounge in a leopard print bikini, with a rose clasped between my teeth

Bet the neighbours would tho RS, close your curtains

YABU, my DH would never notice. Not in a million years.

how did you get a ceiling rose between your teeth? ruby!

op yabu
i would never notice that i would think it intentional / fashionable / or something to do with teenage sexuality ..

to paraphrase:
your earring, your lookout

Yeah! Men, eh?

What are they like?

Bunch of shabby wankers. I'd divorce him if I were you...

YABU. I wouldn't notice if my daughters only had one ear ring in.

Have you considered Relate?

yabu

YANBU! He SHOULD have noticed! You did remember to put it in your marriage vows, didn't you?

maybe he was blinded by your excessive beauty??

Frankly, to agree to go searching with you to find the darned thing is above and beyond the call.......your earrings, you look after them, and all of that.

what sort of earrings are they??

Lol - thanks everyone! He is useless at noticing most things really so I shoud not be suprised. I just thought that as i had spent the day with him, he might have noticed! Then again, he probaly wouldn't notice if the ear was missing either.

hmm..just thinking..how good are you at noticing things about him?
Females seem to bless themselves with a presumed sensitivity.....but often fall short of this elevated status.

He is blameless here, and made effort to assist you. But still gets a questioning of his application to task. Tut. Tut.

I dont know about the men though.

My dh shaved his beard and his moustache off and he had to tell me after a whole day of me being oblivious!

I expect that if he'd pointed it out you'd have nailed him up here for insensitivity and all that crap.

Can't win, won't win. Most of us quit trying to keep up with this stuff years ago.

Tell me, does he sigh heavily before he answers any of your questions?

Yeah, thought so...

YABU

if you didnt notice it,why should he?

i am very observant over jewellry - can spot an new piece very quickly - so sure i would have noticed it

Is this a joke?

I once dressed up in black PVC (I was modeling a fancy dress outfit that I was planning to wear to a forthcoming party) and DH was more interested in watching a charity darts match! Men just don't notice these things... and quite frankly even I wouldn't notice a missing earring, and I'm a lay-dee.

YABU lol men don't notice anything enless you don't want them too then they notice
