At being irritated with dh making 'amusing' comments on Twitter about me?

[queenceleste]

He often lies to make it funny. Arse.
I just say "Don't talk about me on that screed of shite."
But he doesn't listen.

[ChickensHaveNoEyebrows]

Examples, please.

[thisisyesterday]

join twitter and reply?

[queenceleste]

watching the royal wedding while he would never waste his time.... yeah right.

How I've eaten all his easter chocolate (FANTASY, genuine fiction)

How if he's made me a cup of tea on Mother's Day is it alright to go back to bed?

Arse

And, sure not THAT funny either
Can't do Twitter, I get addicted to social networking really easily.......

[GloriaSmut]

I'd be well and truly pissed off. But then dp steers well clear of all social networking sites. He's of the opinion that it is no accident that Twitter bears the name it does.

[ChaoticAngelQueenofAnarchy]

If he has any easter chocolate left eat it and then tell him you did so he wouldn't be a liar

[frgr]

I would be extremely embarassed, and my DH knows never to put me in that situation.

I wouldn't want colleagues or family/friends seeing stuff like that, tbh. It feels disloyal, somehow to be using your partner for social network laughs (esp. if it's lies e.g. eating his chocolate - seems trivial but I'm on a longterm diet and that's the sort of thing my family would comment on.. "oh you're too huffy to eat my lovely cake that I made for DS's birthday on Monday, but you've eaten all his chocolate..?").

I also wouldn't want it online in a professional sense -some of our clients can be quite picky about who they want directly involved in the work they do (don't want to say any more, i've already been outed once with my best friend who recognised me on here, don't need to make it easier for colleagues!) e.g. in case something was said that could get me into trouble at work. If my name is associated with things, I like control over WHAT it is associated with, and my DH's behaviour DOES have a direct impact on how I am perceived by my bosses and stakeholders in the projects I'm involved in.

On a wider sense, I do know that my boss regularly googles people he's thinking of hiring. If there's a reference to getting drunk (e.g. "wife on the third glass of wine, slow down woman!"), or something even less attractive, I'm not going to pretend what he has found online hasn't influenced his opinion of candidates in the past. i know for a fact it has.

I also find it cringeworthy when I see exchanges like that between spouses on Facebook. Inappropriate IMHO, but the sheer volumne of it makes me realise I'm probably the minority here.

YANBU. You have to explain calmly and rationally why it upsets you. Otherwise he won't stop doing it and you'll continue to get wound up until it erupts into a huge argument.

[laInfanta]

That would really piss me off

[visionthing]

Yanbu. My dh does something similar whenever he's on the phone and I'm around - he'll make some derogatory remark (meant as an amusing joke) about me (always 'the wife' ), which I will resolutely ignore and pretend I didn't hear, then he'll say something dreadful like 'ooh if looks could kill' or 'I'm in for it now!' as if I'm making faces at him about it (I'm not. I pointedly don't react in order to avoid the latter exclamations - but he still says it anyway.)

Arse.

He's playing to the gallery at your expense. How annoying! You need to get your own back somehow.

[user3459859083590890]

Have you got a Twitter account yourself?

If not, maybe it's time you got one and had a little fun!

ZOMBIE THREAD

[user3459859083590890]

I imagine being married to a writer must be kind of like this. They often mine their private lives and relationships for material. Must be tough.

[Mulberry72]

How many ZOMBIES today?!?!

[DonaldStott]

Oh god. How cringe. He sounds like a right twerp.

I know someone who call his partner 'the wifey' on social media. Horrid.

[DonaldStott]

D'oh

[TinyTear]

How on Earth do these people find these zombies for no reason??

[Urglewurgle]

DP keeps doing similar; sending picture messages to his family of me drinking a cider (I'm 20 weeks pregnant - it was alcohol free), 'jokes' about how I never make the bed (I do everyday, it's him that doesn't), just generally little things that put me in a bad light. It pisses me off.

[Brittbugs80]

What's a zombie thread?!

[KnittyFoxyMa]

A very very very old thread that someone randomly starts commenting on which brings it to the top again.

[user3459859083590890]

The Twitter comments can get very passive-aggressive. You end up the butt of the joke all the time. Maddening!

[Willow2017]

I am still wondering how people find 6 yr old threads to rehash!

Why? Its not like the original poster is still waiting for words of wisdom!
