I apologise if the title offends.

I have a (not so D)H who is working very hard at the moment, Leaving the house around 10am back around 10pm

Last night I was feeling very drained from a tough day with the boys aged 3 & 4 as they had been whiny and clingy, I had earlier gone out to the site to deliver donuts and drinks to him and his friends who are working together on a big project. Came home made dinner, put his in the microwave ready for him and sent a message saying I was going to bed. He replied ok

Then he comes in storms in the bedroom ( I was asleep) going why the hell are you in bed?? where am I supposed to get dry after my shower (rather than dry himself with a towel, he spends around an hour with a hairdryer blasting him whilst he fiddles on his phone) I respond, I was asleep it is one room of the house, use a different one, he grabs the laptop slams the door storms off, comes back and says oh I suppose I will have to sort my dinner as well, i say yes its in the microwave

Shower goes on

Then off

Screw you its my damn house and if I want to relax in my bedroom I will.

At this point I move onto the sofa, not wanting to provoke a big row, figuring fine he is just stressed.

So he gets dry (hairdryer turned full whack) turns the hall light on wakes up the eldest boy, who is happy to see him and he him, bangs and crashes about getting his own dinner. We haven't spoken since.

We have been married 7 years and I still hate the noise of the stupid hairdryer, WIBU to respond to any further rubbish with its insertation? There is another hairdryer that lives in the study, so its not as if I was suggesting he didn't use the stupid thing

I am more accepting of the assumption that he is a werewolf than, for one moment, believe that a man uses a hairdryer, ever.

He sounds like a tool and quite frankly, I'd ram that hairdryer right up his tight anus and watch it do it's magic.

Shutupanddrive · 23/08/2011 19:27

I'm sorry I think I would actually kill him (with the hairdryer), I hate being woken up at the best of times, never mind in your situation! Angry

PorkChopSter · 23/08/2011 19:26

Another question - what did he do during his drying hour in the days before mobile phones?

Red2011 · 23/08/2011 19:21

For some reason I had a blindspot about the drying his BODY with a hairdryer. WTF???? Agree very expensive, and late at night very unreasonable. Take the fuse out of the hairdryer! I don't even use one on my hair... just let nature take its course (which is probably why my hair is always such a sodding mess).

QueenStromba · 23/08/2011 19:13

Bloody hell - that's costing you about £200 a year in electricity! As a conservative estimate that's about a third of our annual bill.

An hour a day-at least-getting dried.

What an absolute waste of time.

NevermindtheNargles · 23/08/2011 19:07

My DH is 1/4 wookie (on his father's side) and he doesn't need a hairdryer to dry himself.

I would probably put up with it if he did (while filming it and putting it on youtube), but I certainly wouldn't put up with being woken up like that. Has he not even apologised?

MugglesandLuna · 23/08/2011 19:07

Is he very hairy? Doesnt it all go a bit bouffant?

MugglesandLuna · 23/08/2011 19:06

You need to buy him one of those big stand in airdryers you get as swimming baths.

GreenEyesandHam · 23/08/2011 19:05

A 15 minute shower and an hour with the hairdryer every morning? Christ, he may as well stock up on tasty polar bear steaks whilst he's at it Grin

But yes, that was a very disrespectful way to behave towards you and your DC

lachesis · 23/08/2011 19:03

YY, I'd have run out the room squealing with laughter then told everyone I know. Fucking weirdo. When I was 17, I once went out with this guy who seemed normal. Despite being of Irish decent, complete with very Irish name, blue eyes, frost white skin. Then one night, in his car, he told me his greatest wish was that he wanted to be Chinese. And he was serious.

Time to dump.

diddl · 23/08/2011 19:01

Christ, I left a bloke when I discovered that he owned a hairdryer.

And that was as a teenager.

summertimeblews · 23/08/2011 18:57

Nope, even as a teen, I'd have been even more weirded out and dumped.

or at least laugh at him and say why are you being such a knob

i dont do pandering :)

HuntForGalaxyHazelnut · 23/08/2011 18:55

OP Earlier you said that his family "just accept it as one of his ways" what other insane unusual things does he do?

I agree with previous posters, get rid of the hairdryers and force him to go cold turkey. Waking up you and the children just because he can't hair dryer himself in his 'usual' room is really not acceptable.

lachesis · 23/08/2011 18:54

'Because when you are a teenager and in love, the rose glasses let stuff through that as a rational adult you wouldn't put up with'

Nope, even as a teen, I'd have been even more weirded out and dumped.

landrover · 23/08/2011 18:51

Im sorry, i would take the fuse out of the hairdryer till he got used to being without! Apart from being wierd IT IS DANGEROUS and not a good example to show the kids at all!!!

IreneHeron · 23/08/2011 18:49

Sod the hairdryer thing, it is the idea that he can stomp about waking you up and taking his foul mood out on you. I'd have gone downstairs, taken the meal out of the microwave and mashed it over his freshly blow dried body hair. He's acting like a prize arse. Total meal strike until he grovels.

DontGoCurly · 23/08/2011 18:44

He would get a boot up his arse from me OP.

He is BANG out of order.

shinyblackgrape · 23/08/2011 18:43

Does he dry the kitten on your profile page too?!

shinyblackgrape · 23/08/2011 18:39

I'm crying with laughter.........Grin

On a more serious note, do you know that you can get hairdryer stands?

That might leave two hands free for the phone? [Helpful emoticon]
