Anybody else have a wimp for a husband? [light-hearted]

Early this morning, 'D'H comes downstairs nakid, highly aggravated, and asks / tells / commands me to go round to the nextdoor house and get them to turn down their stupidly loud music. When I say early, I was up but he was still in bed.

As I think stupidly loud music is antisocial at any time of the day but particularly early morning or late at night, I do so. I bang on their door to get their attention and ask that the volume be reduced. I get a mouthful of abuse from them for this but at least they do reduce the volume.

I return to the house, advise 'D'H that I've done this but that I don't like being his mouthpiece because it paints me as the crazy adult in the house. No mind, he's so aggravated that he says he'll get dressed and go round there to have it out because hs'e not having me painted as the person with the problem.

Well, it's thirty minutes later. I've got our child up and dressed. 'D'H has gone downstairs, made himself a coffee (not me), and is now sat snoozing on the sofa. He has not been anywhere near next door. He's lost the momentum and therefore lost the moment. So there you go, I'm now the crazy neighbour who hates music.

Is this enough to LTB? [light hearted]

Why did you acquiesce to this? Have you had to do this before on his behalf?

This ^^

Why didn't you just say no?

I would have told him where to go. The DH, not the noisy neighbour.

Firstlovefondlyremembered · 09/09/2021 08:17

Because I agreed with him?

I was posting more about him not following through on his actions, than about the actual issue.

He owes OP a nice foot massage for that, at very least.

HollysBush · 09/09/2021 08:20

Guess he was really tired and just fell back asleep? But he should have gone in the first place if it was bothering him, not you.

SeriouslyISuppose · 09/09/2021 08:23

But it clearly didn’t bother you enough to consider going round to the neighbours until your DH came down in a strop — why do his dirty work in the first place? And if they’d already turned down the music, what point would there have been in him going over to start a fight?

Bizjustgotreal · 09/09/2021 08:32

He made himself a coffee but not you? LTB

As I think stupidly loud music is antisocial at any time of the day but particularly early morning or late at night, I do so.

Had you noticed the volume before your DH drew your attention to it ? If so, why did it take his intervention to make you complain?

If not, how stupidly loud can it have been?

Hahaha, send the wife!

His bottled it, and didn’t make you coffee, LTB!

Nice of him to put you in the firing line before setting down with a coffee and having a snooze.
