Went for dinner with my dad tonight, which we do fortnightly.
He was obviously a bit tipsy when I arrived, which reminded me of my childhood. Was texting some woman he's seeing (he lives with and is engaged to another woman who he moved in without consulting me when I still lived there) and said at one point 'oooh how embarrassing I've just sent a sexy text to the wrong person' balk
Talked about his new job/his life throughout, literally didn't once ask how I was. Got annoyed when I looked away while he was speaking or didn't seem to be listening.
When I went to pay I realised they don't take card, he shouted 'YOU KNOW THEY DONT HERE' (I don't, all the times we've been there he's payed, I usually choose to go elsewhere)
When I got back from the cashpoint he kept banging on about how his bus was in ten minutes and he couldn't miss it, when I mentioned that mine wasn't for 40 he got stroppy
I then became mildly furious and told him to just go home as I didn't want to spend time with him any more and god forbid he miss his bus, he left the table and muttered 'stupid bitch' under his breath.
I was raging, finished my drink and left.
Now still fuming. I was quite short with him a few times throughout the evening as I'm pre menstrual and a bit hungover but did I deserve that? I've been considering going NC with him because of how the relationship as I grew up has affected me but am trying to rebuild the relationship, hence the meals.
How/should I bring this up with him? Am I being oversensitive?
