petty row with DH but seems a dealbreaker to me

Right - went out tonight to eat - nice local Italian - so far so good. Then went in local pub - Chelsea v Napoli was on TV - so far so good. DH and other regulars largely supporting Chelsea though not our local team by far - not the team any of them support,just supporting them on grounds English team etc etc.

I wanted Napoli to win on same grounds (l am half Italian) though wasnt really bothered either way or into the game all that much. Well Chelsea won basically and TV panned to some Italian fans looking very miserable and my DH doing a double act with another regular started saying 'Oh they'll probably go and stab some English fans now etc'

Unfortunately l had the audacity to stick up for my countrymen and pipe up with 'pot and kettle' as England fans are world famous for being hooligans etc etc as far as l know. He starts saying stuff like 'You dont know what you're talking about' etc etc.and getting really bolshee with me. l said 'I am entitled to my opinion and l have either dreamt it for the last 20 years or so or England fans are known for hooliganism etc'

He then said 'You're wrong though (then in mocking voice) - how many international football games have you been to?' (er btw he's been to one as far as l know !!)

I mean WTAF ? Who is this man ? He bore no resemblance to my usual lovely DH ! He was like some 1950s caricature - women shouldnt have an opinion on anything to do with anything especially football - that's mens domain etc etc.

We went to next pub and had another row about something and nothing (at least l thought so - I said Hiya to someone a little too enthusiastically apparently ) . So on way home he said 'Another night out with Sudaname - ends up in a row - waste of fucking time'.

He is in spare room - he went there of own accord after telling me to fuck off and leave him alone - he's sick of me etc etc.

Where's my lovely husband gone - anyone seen himSad ??

It's not what you were arguing about but how he spoke to you that would piss me off, tbh if dh had spoken to me like that I would probably have told him to sod off back to his cave and let me know when he wanted to emerge from the stone age.

Weevilswobble yes l know - you're right. It wasnt helped by the fact we had family round for tea last night and they got here before DH got home and then when they left we had to go straight to feed my elderly parents then we always go shopping from there on a Thursday. So by the time finished all that the moment had gone really so l dont feel we've made up properly. Its not been mentioned since and though l dont want him to self flaggulate for three days Grin l am not really a fan of 'the least said soonest mended' school either.

My DH bypassed all my pmt - he didnt marry me till l was 47 he just gets the menopausal hot flush maniac who strips down to her vest on a regular basis and randomly turns off any radiator in reach - even when we're out.

Lequeen Grin l had to laugh about your holdingwineglassmethodgate. Actually now l can see funny side of me gushing at DHs 'longlost friend' - the complete stranger - while he's stood there with a purple face waiting for me.

Love your summation btw: Booze+Stress=Fuckity Arguments.

Rhondajean - l know it's like a military operation getting out sometimes isnt it - you will manage it one night l'm sure Grin Thats an absolute maximum btw - we go weeks without going out just to make you feel better Smile.

Rogersmelly - that's exactly how l felt - l just didnt put him back far enough (only to the 50s good little housewife era l think) - but yeah Stone age probably more accurate. Smile

LeQueen - those arguments ring a bell!! I once wacked DH with a bunch of flowers in a bad sit-com style whilst shrieking like a harpy at him for flirting. This was after a formal works dinner of his (where I had been presented with said flowers) and a LOT of gin had been drunk. In my defence, I am NOT that person. I am neither normally a harpy, or jealous. I was deeply, deeply unhappy and stressed at work and I just combusted with rage that night. Not an excuse, I know. I had some MAJOR grovelling to do the next day and have never done anything similar since (that was 8 years ago.)

Not my finest hour....
