To think this was rude of DH during conversation?

DH, dog and I in car travelling to park. Dog kicking up a fuss because he doesn't like being in his crate. DH tells him off. He starts up again. I tell him off. He settles.

DH and I strike up conversation and it goes like this:

DH: "a lot of airlines are doing really cheap flights around Europe now"
ME: "yes true, but a lot of them ... "
DH: "Stop it! Making such a racket!" (To dog obviously),
ME: "a lot of them only ... "
DH: "anyone would think you'd never been in a car before!"
ME: "a lot of them only travel ... "
DH: "that's better! See it's not that bad is it!?"
ME: "I'm trying to talk to you!!!"
DH: "hey! I know, I'm just trying to settle the dog ... "
ME: "you don't just continuously talk over someone like that! It's so rude!"
DH"I wasn't! Sorry what were you saying?"
ME "doesn't matter now, I'm not repeating something 5 times".

End of convo

NOT an isolated incident. AIBU to have kicked off over this?? My ex used to do it to a worser extent and it used to drive me batshit then. I feel as though I'm so insignificant to people I'm easy to ignore!

YANBU despite the endless tedious 'STFU and be a better wifey' posts. It would have been polite for him to say to you 'hang on lets settle the dog'.

Why are you telling off the dog for not liking the crate? That's not exactly going to make pleasant associations for the dog.

He starts up again. I tell him off. He settles.

It sounds like he was pissed off because the dog ignores him so he took it out on you. What a dick.

op why did you name change for this?

It would have been polite for him to say to you 'hang on lets settle the dog'.

It would have been polite for the OP to wait for him to settle the dog rather than just continue to talk over the noise.

YABU, I think you're wittering would do a lot of people's heads in

TheNaze73 · 22/01/2017 14:05

Your not you're.

I don't think you are being unreasonable, op. I'm very sensitive to not being listened to as my ex used to ignore me a lot. Dh and I have just had a baby and have agreed that we will say something like "can you tell me in a minute" or "I need to focus" or "I need quiet."

We've agreed that we i won't get offended by this and that sometimes it has to happen. Dh is awesome but needs quiet in order to focus when he's tired.

This way I don't get upset and dh doesn't get flustered. Could you have a calm conversation about how you felt?
