DP and I were sitting in the living room last night. I'd got home from work late and we were relaxing and chatting with a glass of wine. After finishing a conversation about his work, he started reading something on his phone. I made a several attempts to talk to him about something else and he ignored me. I made a pointed remark about him ignoring me and he got up in a huff and went to bed.
This morning we talked about it and he maintains that I was being negative and unreasonable about "the way he is." He "gets like that" sometimes when he wants to read something and I shouldn't have been cross. I interrupted him when he was trying to relax in his own home.
I asked him whether he would have ignored any of his friends repeatedly in the same situation and he said no, but that was different because it is a different relationship and he doesn't live with his friends...
I told him he might not be living with me much longer if he carried on like that AIBU to expect the same courtesy he'd give his friends?
Disclaimer: this is a very minor tiff we are having, he is generally brilliant and I love him dearly - he just doesnt seem to get this one
