To be a bit hurt?

[Isntitironic]

I passed my driving theory test today. DH dropped me off at the test place then took DD home, we agreed I'd text him when I was done and he'd pick me up. So after I'd got my results I texted him all excited to say I'd passed and could he come and pick me up please. By way of reply I got "when DD's finished watching Thomas. Can you walk over to Tesco it's easier." No well done or any kind of acknowledgement. He thinks I'm reading too much into it and he's been really supportive (by looking after his own child because my friend who was going to have her is ill!) It's not like I wanted a bloody fanfare, just a "well done" would've been lovely. He's now got the hump with me for "insulting him" telling him his message made him seem insensitive. Am I being oversensitive?

No, he sounds like an insensitive tosser. Why did you need to ask someone else to look after his child anyway? Did he have to take time off work or something?

Well done

YANBU but why was your friend going to have DD when your DH was there anyway? Also..."When DD's finished watching Thomas"

What the actual!?

I'd be telling my DH where to get off! Like Thomas comes before you!? I don't think so!

Maybe he would have rather said well done in person. Some people just don't do emotion over texts, inc. my DP

Nope not at all, buy yourself a lovely bunch of flowers, a card and a box of chocolates. Write in the card 'Dear Isntitironic, huge congratulations on passing your theory test, I'm so proud of you, love from Isntitironic". And leave it where he can see it.

YANBU, he needs to be put in his place and get his priorities straight!

Also, well done on passing! Have you booked in for your practical test now?

This ^^

My DH would never text anything meaningful, he would just wait until we saw each other.

I do get that you were happy and wanted to share your excitement, but if he's a kind and decent bloke usually, then it's not a real biggie to be honest.

He was working from home in the morning and looked after DD in his lunch break. He just had to take a slightly longer lunch break, which he's perfectly allowed.

I didn't mind about Thomas, DD is 3 and therefore entitled to want to see Gordon make it up the hill before coming to get Mummy. Just peed off at him because I know how much fuss he'd make if it were the other way around! Talking to my instructor about the practical test tomorrow but she said 3-4 weeks' time.

My DH would've text something similar - he's not insensitive, he just doesn't do emotion by text message. He would far rather tell me well done in person - and also wouldn't rush to pick me up.
Hence I think you're overreacting a bit. Also, its just your theory test - hardly anything to get excited about,right? I don't think anyone congratulated me on mine!

File it away in the back of your mind and once you have your licence, and he needs a lift, be busy watching TV

Well done for passing!

What runningupthathill said. My husband would have exactly the same by text, and would have said a little more face to face, but I guess we would both have considered the written test a "formality" so I wouldn't have expected anything else.
