I have been desperate to see Les Mis on stage since I saw the film at the start of the year and have dropped squillions of hints to DH - all of which have been about as subtle as a shower of sledgehammers - in the hope that he might surprise me with a ticket for my birthday next week.
When we have been to London(we live about an hour and a half away) I have always made a point of talking about it whilst gazing longingly at the Queens Theatre as we go past, which we always seem to do. One time I took a brochure and stuck it on my dressing table mirror where it has been ever since.
The other night I remarked that I would like to see Chicago on stage and he said "I thought it was Les Mis you wanted to see?" and I said "yes, well, obviously that's the one I'm desperate to see most of all",etc,etc.
There are about a dozen other examples but this post is long enough. Suffice to say I have been on a campaign.
He has sent a text this morning asking for "birthday ideas" and now is getting pissy because I am being vague. He's now saying "you're not helping",etc.
So despite months and months of hint-dropping (he's not one for romantic gestures so I have pratically handed him the suggestion on a plate) he is still not able to formulate the idea.
I know I could just tell him that's what I want (actually I practically have) but AIBU to just want him to think of it for himself and make the gesture and therefore be pissed off that he still hasn't?

AIBU?
To have the rage at DH for not taking all the hints about what I would like for my birthday?
