I think I over-reacted

I am a regular poster but have changed my name for this as I am a little ashamed.
I have a very short fuse and the simplest of things will infuriate me. DH knows this and so far has managed to avoid the "trigger" words. Today however we were discussing christmas dinner and he called those sausages wrapped in bacon "pigs in blankets" he KNOWS that this phrase sends my temper through the roof, I instructed him to re-phrase the sentance and he said he was sick of walking on egg shells with me so to show him how it felt I started calling him gay and accusing him of being attracted to my brother which I know he hates, he said it was totally different . This incident blew over after he apologised for using the annoying phrase but later on he asked DD if she wanted to start "pony trekking" after christmas admittidly he didn't know that the word pony was a trigger so I explained to him that the word was not to be used and he apologised, 5 minutes later however he again reffered to the horses as "pony's" . I ended up breaking his mobile phone (threw it at him) and now he has stormed off. I know I was in the right over the christmas sausages but I think I may have over-reacted about the horse riding as he only learnt that he couldn't say what he said today. I'm not sure how to make it up to him and tbh I'm still angry about it all, should I just leave it and let it blow over or talk to him?

This is fucking priceless. Cottonbud, I am SORRY (on so many levels) if your post is genuine but this is the funniest thing I have read in ages. Please post again.

my guess is ggglimpopo?

remember the lady who got her tit caught in the photocopier, or something of that sort anyone....

Was in dire need of a good laugh

Nice to see that some of you found my relationship problems funny, I certainly don't. Anyway we made up over the horse riding and christmas dinner arguments, I said I would try and keep calm in future or at least warn him when any new triggers emmerge and now I have a huge dilema.
He went shopping today for my christmas present, when he got home he was late and so dumped the bags and went straight back out again. I couldnt resist taking a little peek and there I saw it...a Jamie Oliver book. Jamie Oliver is a trigger and I was so close to destroying the book but I managed to hold off by not looking at the picture on the front. Anyway my dilema is do I tell him I looked and make him burn the book? I really dont want to cause another row but if I am faced with that book on christmas day it will ruin the whole day for all of us and I don't want to argue in front of the kids or let them see me forcing DH to destroy unsuitable presents...but then if I tell him I looked it will probably cause a row anyway. he just doesnt think, its like Im the only one trying to make our relationship work. Any advice would be appretiated.

Now if it was Gordon Ramsay I could understand it, he has a temper on him although nothing to compare to you.

Would suggest to your dh that he get a refund on the book and use the money to get you some professional help.

I think you should leave it until Christmas Day and then ruin it - for everybody obviously.

There, have done my good deed for the day!

Please don't even pretend that this is real! If it is, don't you realise, that "trigger words" like Jamie Oliver and Pony are weird, weird, weird. Please, don't answer anyone elses posts, because I can imagine you're advice would be seriously warped.

Whilst I remember, must slap myself for perpetuating this pathetic attempt at hilarity!

hahaha

i LOVE this thread!!!

OH and I were laughing about this thread in bed last night, I'm so glad there's a new post from Cottonbud. It's just inspried!

Wow, I was recipe searching and came across this - I darnt even say what recipe I was looking for!!!

I hate it when my husband says pigs in blankets as well. In fact I had never heard that expression before I met him and told him not to use it again and stop speaking like some old wifey!

Brilliant thread. This has made my day! Thanks for reviving it, Fujji.

Cottonbud makes a good point. Jamie Oliver is a trigger .

This from 2006 so I wonder if the OP is still here under a different name.

Pigs in a blanket aka kilted sausages aka wild willies {grin]

If anyone offered me a "kilted sausage" I would piss myself.

I have a trigger word which ends me over the edge.

'appretiated' really F*s me off.

I thought cottonbud was a troll, until she said Jamie Oliver is a trigger.

My guess is BoF.

Hilarious. I really needed a laugh today!

This thread is brilliant

My trigger word is "unassetable" a la Supernanny...

Kilted sausages .....

Jamie Oliver is a trigger for me too, he is so annoying.

OMG I've been here too long. I remember this thread from the first time around.

sorry didn't realise it was so old, found it in google whilst searching for - well I better not say!
