I apologise if the title offends.

I have a (not so D)H who is working very hard at the moment, Leaving the house around 10am back around 10pm

Last night I was feeling very drained from a tough day with the boys aged 3 & 4 as they had been whiny and clingy, I had earlier gone out to the site to deliver donuts and drinks to him and his friends who are working together on a big project. Came home made dinner, put his in the microwave ready for him and sent a message saying I was going to bed. He replied ok

Then he comes in storms in the bedroom ( I was asleep) going why the hell are you in bed?? where am I supposed to get dry after my shower (rather than dry himself with a towel, he spends around an hour with a hairdryer blasting him whilst he fiddles on his phone) I respond, I was asleep it is one room of the house, use a different one, he grabs the laptop slams the door storms off, comes back and says oh I suppose I will have to sort my dinner as well, i say yes its in the microwave

Shower goes on

Then off

Screw you its my damn house and if I want to relax in my bedroom I will.

At this point I move onto the sofa, not wanting to provoke a big row, figuring fine he is just stressed.

So he gets dry (hairdryer turned full whack) turns the hall light on wakes up the eldest boy, who is happy to see him and he him, bangs and crashes about getting his own dinner. We haven't spoken since.

We have been married 7 years and I still hate the noise of the stupid hairdryer, WIBU to respond to any further rubbish with its insertation? There is another hairdryer that lives in the study, so its not as if I was suggesting he didn't use the stupid thing

That would be cool - person-sized airblade built into shower door - would save drying completely.

I don't think it would satisfy the OP's H, though...

(Trillian - I would suspect OCD more from comments like "He is very obsessive, its just his way though, everything has to be just so, and he grumps if it isn't" than from the one piece of wierdness)

There's seperate issues here!

Yes it does sound like he has OCD, and it can be sorted with help as stated above. Do you think he would be receptive to a conversation about it Chocolate? Because it must be costing you a FORTUNE in electricity apart from anything else, seriously!

Secondly, he can't come home and treat you like that and expect a quick excuse the next day to cut it, he must promise to never behave like that again!

Good luck!!

he could have no end of labels attached to him

boils down to him being a knob though really eh :)

Thanks to this thread I just went off on a long Dyson Airblade googling session that ended up with me reading a Will Self article about weeing into a Dyson Airblade. Shock

PorkChopSter · 25/08/2011 13:22

Weeing into a Dyson airblade?

What happened? Shock

OTheHugeRaveningWolef · 25/08/2011 13:27

He didn't actually wee into a Dyson airblade. He just told people he did, and they all believed him. It proved some kind of point about the things people are willing to believe Hmm

I was disappointed Sad

PorkChopSter · 25/08/2011 13:51

I am too. I was imagining Will Self covered in his own spray back Grin

PissesGlitter · 25/08/2011 14:26

oldraver · 25/08/2011 14:35

Fimbo · 26/08/2011 17:41

Oh FFS. I have black mascara stains all round my cheeks. Thanks a bunch Grin. I may have to run for a wee in a minute. ApoCheese just about finished me off entirely. Grin

Worthy of a nomination for classics?

Apocalypse and her DH sound sweet, like little monkeys grooming each other.

OP, sorry, but your husband is an arse. Hope he's apologised but I kind of doubt it.

@ChocolateTeacup how is the hairdryer situation now? Did he manage to give it up?

FastFood · 04/03/2026 13:31

Reninds me of a podcast I listened to, it was about people who are addicted to hairdryers, because its apparently a thing.
