My dh was quite rude last night,

I came in yesterday evening after being out with friends, had a great time. Dh was in the living room, asked me how it went, all fine.

Then dd & her boyfriend appeared downstairs. Dd knows a couple of the friends I was out with, hasn't seen them for a while and asked how they were. As I answered, dh picked up his magazine & phone, and disappeared upstairs! Dd's boyfriend stayed another half hour or so, then I went up to bed and asked dh why he was in a 'mood'. He said he'd already had a run-down of my evening, didn't need to hear it twice and had dinner with dd & boyfriend earlier, so there was nothing new to say!

Does anybody else feel he was being obviously dismissive of all of us? I do!

Not rude at all. He has had dinner with daughter and boyfriend and caught you with them, then had the evening to himself and you cane home and told him about your time out of which he showed an interest in.

i fully understand he went to bed when your daughter and boyfriend cane back down and the three of you were chattering about stuff he has already listened to.

I don’t think this is important enough to make an issue out of. We can’t all be sweetness and light all the time. He was dismissive rather than rude, IMO, and I think that’s OK as long as it’s occasional rather than frequent.

Sorry, OP but if you were a man (which I guess you might be?), you’d be accused of controlling behaviour 🙄

Almost a year ago you posted a very very similar thread about your DH doing pretty much exactly the same thing!

That and other threads by the op suggest that she is incredibly sensitive and that her poor husband can't possibly win here.

And he’s endured walking on egg shells for 30 years according to another thread of the OP’s

And the Op even started a threads about this DD’s boyfriend before! (She overheard him describe her house as dull)
