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 didnt think I'd read anything odder than the cotton bud thread, but this is a fair contender.

DH can be a complete and utter arse after a bad day at work, so you have my sympathies. We all have shit days, but there's no need to take it out on everyone else.

StealthPolarBear · 23/08/2011 17:54

Apocalypse, something you want to share with the thread?

Glitterknickaz · 23/08/2011 17:53

Just think what happened to Ken Barlow's wife.....

thefirstMrsDeVere · 23/08/2011 17:52

A hairdryer?!

I cant really get past that bit TBH.

Sounds dangerous and odd insane

Sorry to be so unhelpful.

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

How did you end up married to this man?

The first time he did this in front of me I would have seriously questioned dating (let alone marrying) him!

Probably, not he would have to stand up, and couldn't take it with him on holiday

I was thinking of the end of the garden as a lovely venue for a Haystack. How would you facilitate the phoning though? Built-in speakers and microphone? Not video-conferencing though, too scary for the other half of the conversation.

2BoysTooLoud · 23/08/2011 17:46

Would he like what Glitterknickaz is suggesting? I would see it as less odd than a hair dryer and could double up as bathroom heater.
Never heard of hairdryer body drying before - could hurt if held too close.. burns.. ooch...

Sue - It is in itself a separate issue, he does it a fair bit, but is working on it, I have given him until my birthday (February) to sort it out, it used to be all the time, now only monthly

Drying himself with a hairdryer???? That is the weirdest thing I have ever read on MN (and that includes the bumsex threads)

SuePurblybilt · 23/08/2011 17:42

I realise the hairdryer thing is mad. But I would be more concerned that he said "screw you, it's my house and if I want to relax in my bedroom I will" or that he was aggressive for no reason. He sounds horrible tbh, is he often like that?

InTheSunshine · 23/08/2011 17:40

Grin at Olga ...endless cycle of hairdryer hell.

I've come to realise from reading MN threads & living with my OH that men in general just like a massive amount of attention all the time. They don't seem to grow up.

Hide the hairdryer or least make him dry himself with it in a different room. If you're in bed it's NBU to expect him to go elsewhere.

Yes he is certainly an image to behold towel around his holders legs akimbo, hairdryer between knee and elbow with the phone in his face, a modern masterpiece Wink

MrsMellowDrummer · 23/08/2011 17:36

Surely if he spends an HOUR doing it, he would drip dry naturally in that amount time anyway, towel or no towel?

He needs a Haystack Dryer! www.haystack-dryers.com/index.php

Glitterknickaz · 23/08/2011 17:33

Also, just think of the electricity bill
