To think DH might WANT to chat to me?

I'm at work until 8pm and it's a slow day. I knew he'd finished at 5.20 so I called him at 6.20 for a quick chat. He huffed and puffed when he answered the phone and so I said "sorry, I thought you might have wanted to talk to me!" And he replied "I might have done if I wasn't busy, I've just sat down".
How was I supposed to know that? I'd never answer the phone in a strop to him like that and to be honest he's normally sat playing in the computer when he gets in from work!
On top of this he had the cheek to say he'd been tidying up lots of pots which were just left in the kitchen. I've made dinner for everyone everyday before work this week making sure everyone had a decent meal for when they got in and also meaning he doesn't need to do anything when he gets in other than warm up what I've prepared!! So last night he ate what I'd prepared earlier and left the kitchen in a shit hole ready for me to sort out this morning - you know - right before I get on to making TONIGHTS tea for him!!! We both work full time btw

Then don't answer the phone! It's not obligatory. If you want to talk to them, answer, if you don't, don't answer.
Answering the phone and giving out to the caller for daring to ring you is just twatty.

That's raiser said than done. If dh was calling me from work, I would think he needed to tell me something, there an emergency. People calling just to chat about nothing isn't always my preferred past time.

Oh the 'can't be arsed' cooking needs to be knocked on the head.

I can see why you're fed up OP. So he was tired from sorting out a few pans - the poor lamb.
He didn't need to snap at you but you probably interrupted the game he was playing Wink
