Just blew up at DP

Agree
Why should husbands be gently parented ?

It's not about the tv show.
It's about respect
It's the entitlement of DH that OP should drop what she is doing and pay him attention

YABU you should have snapped way more than you did. This is a mediocre snapping for the crime at hand.

Do you regularly have to explain the bleeding obvious to your husband? Is he actually 5?

I am with you @ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh there are many hours in the day in which to tell me something super (not) interesting about a Raspberry Pi or a wrestler or a model train... the cliffhanger part of whatever I am watching is NOT IT.

My normal question is, 'Do I need to know that right now?'

I hate to cry "if this was about a man screaming at his wife..."

I am in agreement with you here.

If I was watching something, and he was trying to talk to me or tell me something, I would simply pause the TV, listen to him and then play it again when he was done. If he continued I might subtly say, 'sorry babe, but do you mind if I just finish this? It won't be long' but I just couldn't get worked up by this.

Its just a TV show.

Was he afraid that the value of gold was going to bottom out while you watched the last few minutes of your programme? Or that gold was going to vanish from the world? What was so bloody 'must tell you right this second' about it?

Blue tooth headphones. You can't hear them rabbitting on.

Why the hell should she pause her programme and ruin the tension so he can talk shit at her?

This reminds me of last month. Was on my final 10% of my book. I came downstairs to get a coffee, told DP im on last maybe 30mins of my book, afterwards will we take down the xmas tree etc? Yes. 15mins later up he pops, will we take tree down? Yes in 15mins. Cue huffing and puffing as he slams open attic, throwing down storage boxes 'ILL JUST DO THIS MYSELF THEN' I was livid!! Threw the book and very aggressively took down the tree face like thunder. About 10hrs invested in a book to be disturbed in the final pages. I didnt speak to him for 2 days so yeah I feel you!! DNBU

The being called "anti social " in my OWN HOME would make me very cross .
DH would be told to stop acting like a child and find something to do rather than wanting attention from me

Why should she tho ?
Why should bad behaviour be pandered too ?
What DH had to say wasn't important and it could wait.
By pausing the show it teaches DH that his behaviour is acceptable and he will continue to do it in future.

That's sad....

OP tried to be polite and her DH ignored her.

I can't ever imagine being so hooked on the current situation vis a vis the City of London gold stock that I would spoil DP's enjoyment of the entertainment of his choice rather than wait 5 minutes to talk to him about it.

Could he not have paused for a minute?

Me and my DH have a few shows we watch alone but if he comes in and I’m watching an episode he would never interrupt me and I would never do that to him unless it’s really important we respect each other enough not to do that and we are both adults your DP sounds like a child attention seeking and him asking you this morning if you were going to apologise wouldn’t have went down well with me you have nothing to apologise for he was being an attention seeking disrespectful prick

Was it really necessary to speak to your husband like that? You say he disrespected you by talking while a TV show was on. The way you spoke to him (based on your own account) was disrespectful. In your shoes, yes, I would have felt irritated, but I would have pressed the pause button, explained I just really wanted to watch the end of the show and could he tell me when it was finished. Would you have responded like you did in the early days of your relationship? Do you even love him? Yes, you were being unreasonable.

Sounds like you were watching some stressful violent programme of the kind I avoid, so I would have turned it off and politely offered my full attention to DP's droning.

Can't you pause and rewind?

DH's trick is eating cornflakes in the corner when I'm watching a quiet, tense drama. It's like they introduced a hamster into the scene.

is there anything he watches? football? totally disrupt that. When there is a goal in the offing, accidentally change channel...

Could he not have paused for a minute? Him wanting to waffle on about the BoE doesn’t override what she was already doing.

Ffs! This annoys me too. I only watch Corries, but my god can the arseholes in my house just STFU when I’m watching it. I barely get any downtime as I’m at work or come home and sort everything out house related. Just leave me alone for half an hour.

Why? So the Man In Charge can have the floor? Fuck that. He could have waited to few minutes to discuss his riveting trivia.

My OH does this sometimes but he is worse when I’m reading than with TV. I read a lot and DH doesn’t really get it as he’s not a reader. He’ll chat to me constantly and doesn’t seem put off by my ‘mmm…mm, oh really?’ while pointedly not looking up, or looking up and giving him an annoyed ‘I’m trying to read’ look or completely ignoring him! So I’ve no choice but to tell him I’m trying to concentrate on my book. Then he goes in a huff and calls me antisocial. It’s not like I read constantly all the time we are together. I just want peace for an hour!
