Boxing day at the inlaws yesterday. DH and I with dd who is 8. BIL and SIL with their two dc's (10) and MIL and FIL.
Dh has quite an interesting job. He works hard and loves it. Other people always interested in it and boy does he love that too. In the six hours we were there yesterday the talk was probably 50% dh's job, 20% football, 20% what everyone has watched on TV and 10% bil and sil's jobs and various odds and sods.
MIL is in poor health and FIL was busy in the kitchen/looking after her.
I was on the floor most of the time playing with all the dc's and their new toys. The two 10 year cousins wandered off after a while to play tablets leaving me with dd. She had received 'Frustration' from her grandparents and I asked if dh would come play with us (he was mid-flow work talk) and he looked at me like I was crazy and said 'I don't want to play a daft board game' and carried on talking. I was embarrassed as MIL and FIL had bought it! So dd and I played alone while I seethed inside and I've been seething ever since.
At one point one of the cousins knocked a glass of wine off the dining table right next to dh (I was penned in in the corner) and he made no attempt to help FIL wipe it up. He made a remark about needing a towel rather than kitchen roll but continued to sit there and watch him clean it rather than run and get a towel.
I've had a change of direction work wise this year and I'm working towards a degree. I love what I'm doing and really proud of it. Not one person yesterday asked me about it, dh made no reference to it. I dutifully joined in the conversations about everyone else's work.
AIBU to be really annoyed with him today? Every time I look at him I remember his sneery face and 'daft' board game' comment I feel annoyed. He's not back to work until Tuesday but I'm not sure I can be around him another two days. I hate the sales but I might go just to get away from him.

To put as much distance between myself and dh as possible today
