Being ignored

I have for the first time ever just got full frame specs; apart from when wearing child's NHS plastic glasses in the 80s; purchased specsavers 2 for 1glasses. One Karen Millen brown plastic pair and one Redd or Dead teal metal with funky arms. Both full frame . I have received loads of compliments and a Wolf whistle so now they look OK. When partner came home he looked at me once and said surprised you can see in those bleeps glasses. Then ignored me all night. This morning put on other pair. Came into lounge to watch breakfast where I was and walked out to eat it on garden. No words exchanged. Would talk if directly talked to but not look up. Made me cup of tea and didn't tell me get had so not completely awkward. But it's not fair and children pre teen and teen are fully aware

I think the dc are fully aware their dad is ignoring their mum.

She has new glasses that look good but her partner now won't talk to her.
If its.because she has glasses as suggested I can only assume he is either a child who doesn't like smelly glass wearers or a twat.

What are full frame glasses? Aren't they all full frame?!

I don't know why previous posters are being so nasty. It's perfectly obvious: OP has bought glasses with frames for the first time, her knobbish partner took one look, swore at her, and is now refusing to look at her. OP, that kind of ignoring is nasty emotional abuse and he is behaving like a dick. Basically he's saying that if you don't look just as he wants, he will ignore you. I am sorry this is happening to you. Maybe ask for this thread to be moved to Relationships where you will get some good advice and support.

Maybe tell him you can see so much better in them and you can now see what a complete twat he is?

What a wank he is!!! Call him on it. And then back his bags. Total bell end. I bet you look lovely. When I got glasses my husband thought I looked like a sexy secretary and wanted to whisk me off to bed. That's the kind of reaction you should have got. Not ignored because he doesn't like you wearing them.

Oh I see didyou

He'll get used to them, but in the mean time he does sound like quite a knob. It's very childish behaviour.

That sounds really hurtful Flowers

Start a new thread in Relationships. People there tend to be able to piece together the story no matter how it's expressed, or at least are able to ask for clarification nicely.

Your dh is behaving like a shit. Is he marvellous in every other possible way? Does he earn millions, or is he Royalty? Even if he were, it's no excuse. And he's not a great dad either.

Totally this!

PGPsabitch · 09/09/2016 18:56

Is he normally like this? Sounds like a pattern if your kids are aware.

Sorry OP I've got to do this.....

So the other day I had an eye test and the results came back that I needed to wear glasses, I have never worn glasses before in my adult life. I purchased some designer glasses, they're really lovely, both a unique design so they stand out as opposed to plain glasses, I was very pleased with them.

I was walking down the street when I got wolf whistled at whilst wearing my glasses and I've also received a number of compliments whilst wearing them so obviously other people think I look good in them!

I got home that night, my partner took one look at me and said 'I'm surprised you can see in those fucking glasses', this pissed me off so we didn't speak to each other all night.

I put my second pair on this morning and as I walked into the lounge my partner was eating his breakfast, he took one look at me and went out into the garden to finish his breakfast without saying a word to me.

He's making it awkward for the whole family, my teenagers are starting to pick up on the atmosphere between us and he hasn't directly looked at me at all, only muttered at me if he's being spoken too.

AIBU to think this is unfair?

queenMab - lol!!

Seriously though OP, I do sympathise, my ex did similar things to me - not glasses related - but similar dynamic and it sucks. :(
It did affect my self esteem somewhat.
