Or is my husband - re: repeated information

[DolomitesDonkey]

I've got a good memory and whilst I'm not a fan of labelling the quirky - had I been born in the last decade I'd be "in the spectrum".

On Thursday there were pictures in the media of that house in Italy which was nearly crushed by a giant boulder.

Yesterday morning my husband asked me if I'd seen it, I replied yes, I'd seen and read about it Thursday.

In the evening he asked me whether I'd seen the house in Italy blah blah blah.

I said "yes. You asked me this already today and my answer is the same as this morning - I saw it Thursday". He got grumpy and said he couldn't remember and that I'm arsey.

This is just one example, and by my own admission, I sometimes ignore him when he asks a question because it's repeated information/query or just plain dumb.

AIBU and a massive bitch or do repeats cause your soul to wither too?

I understand language as a thing, I don't understand social language as such. Because it's more than words, and the words often don't mean exactly what the user is saying. Body language is invisible to me unless extremely pronounced, like anger. Jokes take me a long time to understand, if I do at all, and I often need them explaining to me. Although I totally get puns, Shakespeare taught me punning.

I love words, so being clever with them does really amuse me, it's the best kind of humour.

Sorry, guys, have been rushed off my feet, but I've created a new thread. It's in SN General Chat. Am not going to do a link here, to keep it more private, but I've made the title v obvious, and anyone who can't find it, or can't be bothered to fanny about looking, just PM me and I'll give you a link. See some of you there :)
