Myself and my husband

[Roundthemaypole]

When did this mangled nonsense begin?

🤣🤣

I can’t say bêtes noires. It comes out as pet noir. Thank you, Victoria Wood.

Pet noir - I’m going to use that!

Especially apt if you have a black Labrador.

Joan Armatrading covered all options just to be sure

@Morepositivemum , Don't you mean 'Myself says it!'?

I never know whether to say my husband and I or me and my husband
Again 'Myself never knows...'

What are yourself like?

I really want that laughing emoji! 😄

Why have you given two examples of incorrect usage? Am I missing something here?

@Dovesono , I think they're meant to show why they are wrong.

True. But as others have said, I also can’t stand “me and my husband went / want / can’t agree” etc.

It’s “laying” if you’re a hen

That's covered in the example (Me and my husband are going to the shops / Me is going to the shops.)

It's simple: List the other person first and add 'and [I/me/myself] ' depending on the sentence.

My husband and I went to the shops.
That happened to my husband and me.

She is going to Lisbon. Henry is going to Lisbon. Ergo(!!) She and Henry are going to Lisbon. It's the same lesson as the I/me/myself one. Think how you say it when there's only one person and then put them together.

A retired teacher friend said, "Him and her are going to wherever" and I just kept my mouth shut, but I can get it out here.😀

I thought that initially, but then the third example is correct so I was confused!

Thank you. But I did know that. You are preaching to the converted.

I heard someone on a TV show last night say that "a letter was received by my husband and I".
