To expect my phone to be handed to me if it rings for me and DH answers it

20 mins ago my landline rang,the only people who have my number are people I want to talk to and it's a cordless phone,
I'm upstairs with the baby because I don't want to listen to a damn xbox that Dh constantly plays and he answered the phone I heard him say "she's gone to bed I will tell her you called" OMG I'm now fighting the urge to go and yell at him he knows I haven't gone to bed to sleep, and so far he hasent even yelled that anyone was on the phone or who it was
so is it wrong to expect my own phone in my own house to either NOT be answered by someone who can't be bothered to hand the damn thing over or if they do answer it to then fecking well hand it over?

perhaps he was trying to protect you, what with you having a baby etc? DH would do this because he know I don't want a chat with anyone at 10pm. Besides any yelling at 10pm is not on, as it will wake the baby. Don't you talk to one another?

I think it's weird that you're not telling him how you feel but posting here first tbh.

It's the house phone..not "your landline". It's late too...almost 11.00pm...who calls that late?

He's being considerate and not disturbing you, what makes you think he isn't?

If he was yelling up the stairs disturbing your baby wouldn't that be worse?

DancingwithDragons · 01/06/2012 22:48

REALLY?? Hmm

If you were gonna say your mobile and you were sitting next to him, then maybe i would agree with you, but seriously i think he was just trying to be considerate.

OutragedAtThePriceOfFreddos · 01/06/2012 22:50

Maybe we could swop DHs? Mine has a problem with fibbing to people on the phone and he hates doing it, so I end up with too many calls being handed over that I don't want.

Hehe, like your judgement style Patsys.

Oppsididitagain · 01/06/2012 22:57

Sorry I should have clarified I call him DH because it's easyer than saying bloke who kinda hangs out with me and has done for ages but dosent actually live with me and I'm not married to.
I wouldn't really yell because I'm far to passive agressive but I just feel like yelling,
I just went downstairs to ask who it was and he told me it was my eldest daughter(18) just wanting to chin wag.
I would normally just tell him how I feel but I'm feeling a tad tetchy at the mo and didn't want to raise any issues with him whilst I'm in a mood as I do know that I'm rather prone to coming across as stroppy and obviously I would prefer not to do this if I'm being unreasonable if that makes sense

He doesn't even live with you but you are having to stay upstairs in your own house to get away from his xbox-playing? Shock

Oppsididitagain · 01/06/2012 23:00

Brilliant and I would probally throw in a twix as well lol

FunnyLovesTheJubilee · 01/06/2012 23:00

he was either being a total arse, or being considerate. You decide!

Oppsididitagain · 01/06/2012 23:08

Coppertop he dosnt have one at his and I don't really mind him playing it I just don't like the noise it's a war game thing and the people who play it get quite excited about it and jibbe jabber into headsets through the telly so I choose to come upstairs and chill or read or surf untill he gets bored of the game and comes up
both of us are quite relaxed about that so he's here more often than he's not,most of the time it works for us

Someone you're staying upstairs to get away from when they don't even live in the same house, is someone who's outstayed their welcome isn't it?

If it was your DD just wanting a chat, it's not important enough to tell you straight away, but it's good you're seeing you might be more pissed off than you should be cause of being in an arse Grin

What's this about a twix?

TheHouseOnTheCorner · 01/06/2012 23:12

You have a baby together...but you don't live together...he's on your x box whilst you retreat upstairs and get cross at him answering your phone...

It sounds like you need to get your relationship sorted out and more clearly arranged.

Oppsididitagain · 01/06/2012 23:13

The twix is just incase patsey wanting to swop could be swayed to do so

She could have meant 'You' though Opps, so not necessarily a vote against you Wink

Oh bless he just came and apologised even tho he didn't know I was narked,
he was trying to be gentlemanly as he thought I had come up to not be disturbed
bugger at least I now know that stupid stuff obviously bugs me when in a mood lol

TheHouseOnTheCorner · 01/06/2012 23:27

But the lines are blurred Rabbitee if she's in a relationship wth him and has a baby with him....then they're a family except on paper!
