Would this upset you or am I being silly?

Good lord this isn’t serious is it? It was a lighthearted comment! It’s the type of thing I’d say about my DP as he has a tendency to mansplain. He would have roared with laughter if I’d said it about him to someone! I‘m sure it wasn’t meant nastily and you just need to move on from it.

I see the tip you gave. I didn’t know that actually. I would have found that helpful! I think he was just making a clumsy joke. I might have felt a little miffed if it was me (like it’s not that obvious actually!) and I may have even said “well I didn’t know that” (unless they’re Greek! And then of course his comment was fair enough!)

I wouldn’t take a blind bit of notice

I only recently learned this too and wish the person who told me had told me sooner!

Your husband was probably just joking around, me and my DP are always taking the piss out of each other, I wouldn't dwell on it.

OK well that's not obvious but it depends on the context.....is your aunt a particularly good cook? Is this something she was likely to know?

Initially I would say this was normal family micky taking...its banter and lots of men (and a fair few women) do it. It's something that sometimes my OH takes too far but overall I think the fact he does it helps my kids deal with it when people outside the family do it.

But in this case I would say its only funny if you were teaching your aunt and uncle something they already knew? But this has only become common in the last couple of years thanks to social media and lock down.

So I think he was trying to make himself seem clever ....which is irritating but nothing to get upset about.

I genuinely did not know this! So thank you for the tip 😊

It was a very strange comment for your husband to make. Putting Greek yoghurt in flatbreads is nowhere near the "teaching granny to suck eggs" thing. Plus you were all having a relaxed chat about cooking - whilst you were doing the bloody cooking!

Your aunt (and whoever else was there) laughed out of politeness. I doubt they wet their pants laughing, I expect it was just a polite titter? I mean, the remark wasn't exactly hilarious. So don't worry about that.

I think you're husband was either trying to show off and he totally misjudged it or he has some kind of an axe to grind and he was making a deliberately snarky comment that only you would pick up on. My mother was an expert at humiliating me under the radar so I recognise the signs.

Either way he should apologise because he hurt you, not dig his heals in like a 13 year old.

He thinks you are an ignorant person who doesn't know it, and that it's funny to point it out.

Unless you misheard or misunderstood?

If you have a good relationship with your aunt, maybe ask her to explain the joke to you and why she laughed.

PS I've only used Greek yogurt in scones. That sounds like a good tip.

I didn't know that about flatbreads, and I'm a decent cook.

Take a lover!
Alternatively, practise saying ‘did your trumpeter die, dear?’ to be used next time he sounds remotely pleased with himself.

I don’t think most British people know how to make flatbreads. Are his family from somewhere where everyone knows how to make flatbreads?

Think i would just keep an eye, he might have just misjudged this one but if he makes a habit of shitty jokes at your expense there's something else going on.

🤣🤣🤣

I don’t think what he said is the problem, as much as his reaction when you said it had upset you. You said it upset you, and he basically said he didn’t care, he thought it was funny, and he would say it again. Even if I truly believed something was funny, I wouldn’t say it if someone told me it upset them.

HAHAHA, bloody hell! Either you're on a massive wind-up or you have extreme drama issues. 😂😂

I was thinking that.

Was it that it seemed as if they were all laughing at you?

Yeah I think this wins the OTT award.

It really depends what the dynamic is between you but in itself it’s just a silly harmless bit of banter. Some couples thrive on roasting each other and some don’t 🤷‍♀️

Stay classy pensione

We all say the wrong thing sometimes OP . Try not to dwell on it anymore … unless he’s In The habit of making you feel rubbish

Aren’t you yourself over-reacting a bit?

Well, I didn't know that, so thank you for sharing! Your husband sounds unpleasant.

I think your overreacting tbh it was just a small joke nothing mean by it.

But it is MN men are not to say or do anything and when they do its wrong they shouldent even breathe So he`s being abusive and you should leave asap.
And make it clear he is not to joke or laugh without asking you first.

I didn't know that either and would have been grateful to be told.

I agree. It sounds like he had nothing useful to contribute to the conversation so made an unfunny joke at OP's expense in order to get a laugh. You've told him it pissed you off so I'd just pay attention to whether he does it again or is more mindful in future.

Wouldn’t have thought your husbands comment was funny enough to warrant laughing loudly at regardless of what you’d said.
