How often do you forget to say please?

DP and I, at the end of a perfectly nice evening, are now going to sleep on a row. We were lying in bed listening to the radio, a song came on, I said "oh, I love this song, turn it up" to which he responded with "... please." It's not like I barked an order at him or said it in a rude way!
Last time it happened we were away for the weekend with his family, he was going up to get a drink at breakfast and I asked him if he could get me an orange juice. Exactly the same response from him, except that time it was in front of his whole family. I was so embarrassed.
I just feel really pissed off now. I forget to say please sometimes, it's hardly a bloody crime, and now he's gone and spoiled A nice evening because of it. I was happily snuggled on his chest, now I've got up and sat in the living room because it's wound me up that much I don't feel sleepy anymore.
Does anyone else do this? And it's your OH as much of a dick about it as mine??

I would've said please in those 2 scenarios, I say it automatically tbh. An ott reaction though.

S'ok, got my own back this morning! He came in and was being all kissy and cuddly, said "can I have snuggles?" My response- "... please."

In my book it's rude to correct someone. I don't like the sound of him much to be honest op.

Santino, me too. I'd think DH was taking the piss if he corrected me and told me I had to say please. I'd be more likely to say "nope shan't" to tease him, but I can see it does entirely depend on individual relationship dynamics.

Wandering, brilliant!! Now he can see how ridiculous he's being. Maybe try to inject a bit of humour from time to time will help your DH to let go of his "grip" and chill a bit more Smile.

Did you ever discuss it with him OP?

Agree with others on this thread that Thank You is much more important to me than Please. I'd also be happy for people to embrace the word Sorry a bit more too.

To those who say that a lack of Please is immediately noticeable - I reiterate that I must come across as rude all the time, where there is no intention to be rude. Just goes to show to easily conflict can arise when one side is boiling silently about something that the other party is blissfully unaware of!
