AIBU to be offended by Hubby's rating?!

[Enix]

Context:

I asked hubby to rate a film (Life of Pi) in regards to how much he enjoyed it overall; I was baffled by his rating as he said the film was 'ok' and then gave it a 'solid 7' out of 10. He then rated a few other films (his favourite reaching a 9.2).

Out of curiosity, I then asked him to rate how much he liked this girl he liked for ages at the time of liking her (the only girl he actually liked other than me. However they never dated as she rejected him when he asked her out a few times) when he was much younger (20). He claims he never loved her but liked her; her rating was 7.3. Obviously I had to have a current rating for myself (his wife for over a year and a half but happily been together for over 5 and a half years) and he gave me a 9.9 (probs an exaggeration!).

Question:

AIBU that I'm a (fair) bit offended that he liked her only 26/27% less than how much he loves me?!?

Note:

I usually do ask him some hypothetical questions (some comfortable and some uncomfortable/that will make you think) and we rate stuff all the time so this is not that weird a thing to do for us.

Good lord are you like 15

But he's rated her only 0.2 points higher than a film he ranked as just OK.

Is he using a log scale?

Sorry, 0.3 points higher (7.0 compared to 7.3).

If he said a lower score you would of been suspicious. As to why he is under exaggerating like maybe he has something to hide and still has feelings for her. You shouldn't be angry at honesty, only if maybe he'd have given her a higher score than you that would have been awkward.

A true mathematician wouldn't have used decimals (or so my mum would say - she feels they indicate being a physicist).

I thought you were going to say he rated her higher, which would have been worthy of being offended. I think that liking someone already means the rating would be pretty high so she was always going to be over a 7. You need to think about the qualitative as well as quantitative aspects I think.

It is too early on a Saturday to be up

Am now tempted to wake DP up and rate me and his XW out of 10. Have also now realised she was 7.3 at the time of liking her - tbh I'd hope that DP liked his XW more than that out of 10 when he liked her.

So weird. You asked him to rate some he knew years ago against you. Then aren't happy with the answer?

How does him being a mathematician make you accurate with numbers? Osmosis? Or does he do lessons with you?

It's all very silly.

Is there any answer where you wouldn't have either been offended or accused him of lying? Sounds like a planned guilt trip!

Plus as Goudy and others say, it's a log scale so yours is 700 times higher than hers.

I think your DH is brave to give you anything less than a 10 and pretend he can't quite remember what the girl he liked actually looks like (that would have been my DHs tactic)

DH rated Stand By Me a 5 out of 10. I was offended by that....it's a brilliant film!!!!

I just asked DH how many he'd give me out of 10.

He said "I'd defiantly give you one, haha"

You need to get out more.
Is there a youth club in your area you could join. Maybe ask at school.

serves you right for asking stupid questions!

He "liked" her so he's hardly gonna rate her as a 2 is he?! If he liked her enough that she had the opportunity to reject him multiple times(!), I'd safely bet he liked her significantly more than a 7.3.

Don't get wound up about it, you would've dissected any answer he gave you. I'd probably just stick to rating films in future

I have been more deeply in in love with a man other than my OH.

Does that make you feel better OP?

I would be offended if my dp thought it appropriate to put a rating on me or anyone he's liked!

He should have given you a perfect 10 and you're grateful for a 9.9?

You need therapy for self-esteem issues.

Oh, and LTB

He probably downplayed the previous girlfriend's score to save your feelings...bet she's really an 8++

He asked her out a few times. He'd definitely be lying if he said he'd liked her any less than that. I wouldn't bother to watch a film someone else had rated at any less than a 7, and certainly wouldn't ask someone out unless I liked them considerably more than a 7.... And if I got 73% in an exam, I'd be a bit disappointed. If I got 99%, I'd be really happy. The higher the number gets, the harder it is to achieve. Besides all that, what a silly question to ask your dh! He can't really like women much if the only woman other than you he has ever liked, he only rated a 7.3.

You wanted an argument.
Where you where the victim.
Spend your time together more wisely and leave the polls to teenagers and politics.

I assumed OP was joking/light-hearted?

If not, well...wow!

You share 70% of your genome with a sea sponge. Unclench.

This right here is MN gold.

Poor guy, he couldn't win on this one.

Whatever he said was going to be the wrong answer.

Unless of course he gave the right answer in telling the OP what a ridiculous question she had asked.
He should have refused to answer, but no doubt the OP would have twisted that one too.

Op you sound very needy.

CuntingDMJournos - I'm most looking forward to your further posts .

Where can I get the sea sponge t shirt?
