I went out with a group of 5 female friends last night.
one of the woman is a relatively new addition (since sept when she and her DH moved here - she knows one of the others from uni)

Conversation as it does came around to our DH/DPs and having children and how it changes your relationship etc (all of them are on DC1 either pg around 1 yo. While i'm pg DC3)

Anyway they were all taking the mic out of mine and DHs relationship (as they always have done)

Anyway new addition says that she finds our relationship very odd and it seem I am very dependent on DH and he is dominating.

Excuse me - She has probably seen us together as a couple/family about 5 times.

The basis of this, we where all talking about it before she piped up.

I'm a bit of a scatter brain - I have to have lists for everything otherwise nothing would get done with the house, job or kids.

But formyself I forget that I have to eat and forget that I have to go to bed so DH will remind me.

I'm the joker of the group and always have been and DH will say (jokingly) shut up to me and tell me to stop.

He will often tell me to breath as I can talk and talk and talk on random subjects ad taht is his way of telling me that is what I am doing.

He doesn't do it in certain company obviously.
He has always done it.

We make joint decisions and all that shit (he also will tell me not to swear as I do it slightly too much)

I didn't know what to say to her. One of the others just laughed and steered the conversation away (and afterwards told me not to list to her because o one could ever dominate me )

But she desn't really know me, or DH or our relationship

AIBU to think you have to properly know someone really well before you pass judgement on their relationships?

YANBU. How unfair and rude of someone to be so negative, when they don't even know you. Nice people give others the benefit of the doubt and look for the good in everyone, not find things to criticise.

'Anyway new addition says that she finds our relationship very odd and it seem I am very dependent on DH and he is dominating'. I think that's an opinion. A judgement would be 'Your relationship is very odd and you are very dependent on DH...'.

Besides MN would implode if you couldn't make a judgment within 2 seconds.
