to expect my husband to at least act like he gives a shit?

[nemmynem]

hi! today i got made supervisor at work, i told my huband and he said "oh right, how much more do u get paid for that"? that was it.

AIBU to be pissed off to not have even got a "well done"?

[Bumfuzzle]

Not unreasonable at all.

Have you told him how you feel?

[MarinaIvy]

YANBU! And congratulations, by the way! Well done, and I'm sure you deserved it.

(now make me my tea and massage my feet!)

Juuussssttt kiddin'

I got promoted last week and my OH asked the exact same thing. Must be wired into the male brain. Huge congrats though...What do you do?

[AgentZigzag]

Nice one, well done you

I would ask how much cash we'd get extra, but after lots of jumping up and down and the getting of alcoholic celebrations.

Definately, like bumfuzz says, tell him you feel a bit deflated by his reaction.

He sounded distracted, any reason he might sound like that?

[AgentZigzag]

Congrats to bobba too

[BobbaFettBountyHunter]

Haha cheers, I already congratulated byself by buying congratsbobbanewshoes from New look, yeah, I live dangerously.

[nemmynem]

thanks :) congrats to you too bobba! im only a cleaner, but now im a cleaning supervisor :)
iv been working my arse off the last few months, an now im really happy that it has been recognised.

I asked him why he didnt congratulate me or anything and he ust said, "sorry.. well done"

Men! ah well my best friend made up for it when i told her, and we are celebrating by goin shopping saturday :)

[BobbaFettBountyHunter]

Brilliant, see, he just needed a prod lol. Well done! And NEVER say you are just a cleaner,a jobs a job mate and you sound like you do it well so be proud!

[Andrewofgg]

Male mind, bollocks. Human mind. I got the same reaction from DW when I got promoted.

[Lambzig]

Congratulations! My DH is absolutely the same and when I was talking about looking for a new job even said "you have to understand that my career is more important than yours now we have DD"

I wasnt impressed.

OP - YANBU but it has just made me realize how unreasonable I was when my OH got a promotion a couple of weeks ago. I think I responded in a similar way to your DH, I must have seemed like a real bitch to him. I acted like this because in my mind he'd been doing that job for months anyway - i know, I have seen him or not seen him at home enough as proof. It was only now he was being recognised for his good work. Are you sure your DH isn't guilty of doing the same thing as I did?

[xstitch]

YANBU.

Congratulations and take 'only' out of that sentence nobody is only anything.
