To be concerned about this joke?

Preface: I’m pregnant and very hormonal so there’s a chance I’m being sensitive, please tell me if so!

DH was on his way to work earlier. I called through to the kitchen, ‘oh, I forgot to take the bin out, would you mind?’

He replied, ‘yeah, don’t worry, already on it’. I went into the kitchen to get my glass of water as he was putting the liner out the bin and I said, ‘I’ve just been shoving the stuff down all day, hope it wasn’t too messy’

He smiled and just said ‘I’ll add it to the divorce list’

He was smiling/laughing while saying it but neither of us has ever joked about divorce before or anything like it. He does always banter about other things as he’s that kind of person who doesn’t take himself too seriously but it really caught me off guard. I asked him why he said it and he hugged me and said he was joking and sorry for the bad joke.

AIBU to still think it was weird to say?

I’ve just been shoving the stuff down all day, hope it wasn’t too messy’ I would be seething. So you've not emptied it ALL day and just kept adding to it? Why?!!!

I usually empty it long before that point but I’ve felt under the weather today so haven’t. That’s why

This is going to be something you look back on post pregnancy as one of those ‘fucking hell my hormones sent me cuckoo’ moments.

I had a total sobbing meltdown while pregnant about my takeaway order being wrong, my youngest is an adult now and we still hark back to it every time we order.

Everything is going to be okay.

You're being sensitive. Understandable, given hormones and the heat, but you are

I'd find that funny. Unless there are other problems, I wouldn't worry about it.
