to be a bit upset

[OnlyWantsOne]

my DP calls me "the management" or says "keep the good woman sweet"

in an email that DP sent to his secretary asking her to do some thing, he called me the management and then wanted her to do some thing to "keep the good woman sweet" (as he's got to go away for a night with his boss, he was going to take me away the night before at the same hotel as a treat - he wanted his secretary to book it)

fucking hell im not his management. It really pissed me off that he called me that, and then patronises me... or am i being stupid??

he forwarded the hotel booking onto me via email, which included the whole thread of conversation between him and his secretary.

He's a twunt and im over emotional hormonal blob.

I'm not being patronising, Mr.Spoc... I'm being affectionate.

Got to keep the little man sweet, eh Tethers.

thanks again tethersend have a glass of cheers

I also think the op is not the bothered about the remark but how cool she played it back with him.

"fucking hell im not his management. It really pissed me off that he called me that, and then patronises me... or am i being stupid??"

Btw, to anyone that says its not appropriate if either half is offended, I dont think she has told her DH that she finds it offensive?

Yabu I think, it's just silly words- I mean, he's booking a nice hotel for you to male you happy because he doesn't want you to be put out by his night away with work... How lovely is that?!

And fwiw (mrspoc) dh calls me 'lady of the house' and I think it's funny, I'm sure your DW doesn't think you're some chauvenist jim davidson type!

If he doesn't know for sure she's in on the "joke" he shouldn't be calling her that in work emails.

DH & I are the management. I will call DH The Boss to anyone who asks us to make a commitment. DH does the same. It's a way for us to get our ducks in a row without being the one to blame.

Works for us.

Well, this is it, Viola.. and he's so endearing with his sweet little 'opinions'. He's really doing quite well 'debating' with the bigger boys and girls. He so enjoys it, and it does him the world of good.

Oh look. He poured me a glass of wine.

WELL DONE, Mr. Spoc.

I'll get him a treat later. Good boy.

i have actually warmed to you tethersend. good job your the boss
