Husband keeps trying to wreck my present

Suger · 27/12/2006 16:33

Christmas day was going well despite DH's ability to really piss me off without even trying 99% of the time!

Anyway after the kids had opened their presents we started on our small piles and I got some fluffy white slippers from my mum, DH finds them hilarious and whilst the kids were watching on of their new dvd's on christmas day DH shouted "fluffy slippers" really loud and almost scared them to death . Anyway that tickled him for 10 minutes but since then he's been doing it over and over again, it really isnt funny anymore, it doesn't scare the kids anymore, it's just got boring basically.

We just ignore him when he does it now but when I went to put my slippers on earlier they had coffee marks all over them, I assumed it was an accident and asked DH if he'd done it and his face was all strained as if he was dying to laugh but he was denying it, so I just said "oh whatever then..." walked away and he burst out laughing, I've since caught him trying to wipe chocolates on them .

I know it might seem funny to anyone else (or just plain mad) but its really pissing me off, if I did that to his things he'd go mad and what's my mum going to say when she see's whats happened to them?

He does this kind of thing all the time and no, he hasn't been drinking! how do I get through to him that it's just not funny?

Is this a joke?! A continuation of the trigger words thread or just a really juvenile dh problem...

SherlockLGJ · 27/12/2006 16:37

Rip his head off and shit in the hole, if he is that juvenile, it may be all he understands.

SherlockLGJ · 27/12/2006 16:38

LGJ shocks herself but has her suspicions.

yULeYSEES · 27/12/2006 16:38

Ermmmm is this a wind up? Who'd put up with such shit?

Carmenere · 27/12/2006 16:39

An incredibly strong initial gambit from LGJ but this reeks of someone who has been here before

No it's not a wind up but I can see how you come to that conclusion. Seriously I've never met anyone who acts like him, and I've never met anyone who knows anyone that acts like him either!

Why would you try to have a relationship with someone like this and why would you expect us to believe that you would have a relationship with someone like this.

Because he's not always like this, just every now and again when something sets him off. Othertimes he's relatively normal but when he does start this shit up I really feel like leaving and looking for someone who is normal 100% of the time.

Well there is your answer then, tell him to behave or leave.

corrina28 · 27/12/2006 16:44

tell him to get a f**king life and grow up, then buy him a matching pair in the sales.

taylormama · 27/12/2006 16:44

hmmmmmmmmmmmm - saw a v v v v v similar post to this a few weeks ago ... think it is all a pile of rubbish .... [sceptical]

SherlockLGJ · 27/12/2006 16:45

LGJ wanders out again.

And says casually over her shoulder, Carmenere, Na bac leis.

jalopy · 27/12/2006 16:47

His erratic behaviour sounds frightening to me. Does he need professional help?

Carmenere · 27/12/2006 16:48

I'm not Sherlock, I'm off to do the dinner..............................

QuootiepieTheChristmasAss · 27/12/2006 16:57

I have fluffy white slippers too! God, DH would get them across his backside if he did anything so childish.

Blondilocks · 27/12/2006 17:36

I would suggest doing the same thing to something he likes. Perhaps giving something electronic a wash & see how he likes it?!

SpaceCadet · 27/12/2006 17:38

im afraid id have to second LGJ'S answer

SpookyMadMerryChristmasMummy · 27/12/2006 17:49

tbh if that was my dh he would have got a kick in a sensetive spot and a telling of for being bloody peevish.. out of earshot of the kids of course...

Carmenere · 27/12/2006 17:51

I hate it on mn when everybody piles in accusing the op of being a troll........................................what if this is a really serious situation and her dh has undiagnosed mental illness...............................just thought I would be the first to say it

SherlockLGJ · 27/12/2006 18:06

Carmenere

You nutter.....

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 27/12/2006 18:28

Alas my DH has been having a similar issue with my fluffy socks... I found him teasing them by showing them footage of a dog chewing very similar ones (possibly a relative???)...

I am at a loss.

I think divorce may be the only option.

jampots · 27/12/2006 18:36

im not sure my dh would waste chocolates on some fluffy slippers but I understand the repetative annoyance. He winds us all up and any games he plays with ds usually ends in ds's tears as dh just doesnt know when to call it a day.

I think your dh sounds a weirdo suger or at least his actions are attention seeking

VeniVidiVickiQV · 27/12/2006 18:54

I would go wipe your arse on his toothbrush when you next have a steaming great turd, and put bogies in his coffee.

stoppinattwo · 27/12/2006 19:08

remind me never to upset you vvv

I've just found one all wet, I suspect he's dropped it in the toilet. I feel like squeezing his throat, next time anyone buys me any slippers I will tell them to get cheap ones as they'll only get ruined by the DH.
