I’m hurt by this, am I over reacting?

[Sfuandtired]

DH has ended up with a parking fine today, I’m likely to blame for this as I’d mistakenly believed that we’d be able to park there for 2 hours, when unfortunately it was actually only an hour, that said neither of us thought to actually check the signs as we left. DH is furious about it and blames me entirely, which I understand, however what has upset me is that he has been publicly moaning about the situation and me and being quite scathing ( I know this from a very reliable source who has nothing to gain by telling me). I’m hurt he’s done this, especially as it was a genuine mistake.

Oh just tell him to piss off op.

Next time he cocks up by mistake be a dick about it

Why couldn’t he double check and read the signs? If he was the driver he has no one to blame but himself as it’s HIS responsibility to check parking hours not yours.

Thank you both, that makes me feel better about it.

Nothing like a supportive and loyal H is there!! And he is nothing like one. What has Mr Perfect been saying?

If I heard someone being horrible about their spouse making a genuine mistake, particularly something which they could have easily double-checked themselves, I would think the moaner was a massive twat honestly. Its himself that looks bad, not you OP. Sorry he's being a dick about it, I hope you're OK.

It is not your fault. He's the driver, it's his responsibility. He has eyes, he could have checked the signs for himself.

Just tell him to sod off!

Yep, he’s a cheeky twat. Is he always so avoidant? He was just as capable as you of checking the parking signs, more so if he’s actually the bloody driver! He can take some responsibility for himself! I hope you told him to fuck off and tore him a new one for debating it on social media.

Imo the one driving is responsible...

With a husband like that you don't need any enemies. I find it hard to believe this is the first time he's been such a massive prick. Behaviour like this doesn't just come out of nowhere.

Gosh does he always get so worked up about things like this? DP and I have both forgotten to pay the congestion charge or the Dartford Crossing loads of times and ended up with fines. While annoying, there’s nothing you can do about it now. (Although after about 6 fines we did set up automatics payment which we should have done a lot earlier )

Unfortunately no it’s not the first time Aquamarine1029, however it’s the first time I’ve become aware he’s bad mouthed me in public like this.

He's being ridiculous, sometimes it's easier for men to blame someone else to deal with their own shame.
Reminds me of the time my ex had his car clamped for having no road tax but blamed me! It was all my fault for because I didn't hear the noise of the car being clamped outside my house.
Tell him its a fine, all he needs to do is pay it and get over it!
