Long story short, I went to cut the hedge today, but DH had a go at me because I didn't want to wear safety goggles while using the hedge trimmer. Yes, the handbook says they should be worn, but I wear glasses and the goggles make my vision go funny, which I didn't think was very safe when using a large bladed instrument.
He switched off the plug and stood in front of me, refusing to let me turn it on until I put the goggles on. I said that as an adult, I'm entitled to make my own choices about what's safe or not, and he can have an opinion but can't force me. He went in a massive huff, eventually stormed off, saying I was "stupid" and "you wouldn't let your child do that, so why should I let you".
I have massive issues with these, he seems unbothered and is being smug, saying he is right and there should be no debate on safety issues.
Any thoughts?
