To be fucked off at DP for telling me this whilst I was eating.

[User5Million]

Had a horrible day with everything that could possibly go wrong, going wrong.
Finally get DC to bed and I decide to clean the bedroom whilst DP cooks our dinner. (They had theirs at childminder).
It's ready whilst I'm still cleaning, and I don't like leaving a job half finished, so I tell DP to go ahead and eat his and I'll eat mine when I've finished.
Come downstairs, sit at the table. Halfway through my meal, he decides to start telling me some story he read on the internet about conjoined adult twins, where one of them died and the other died as a result of decomposing toxins. Halfway through, I asked him if it was gory, and if it was, could he please stop.
He said it wasn't and carried on going, complete with disgusting details.
It completely put me off my food so I left the table and went upstairs. He can't understand why I'm upset. I appreciate I may have over reacted after the day I have had, but AIBU?

Oops, meant bathroom, not bedroom.

Get a grip

Cheers Talon.

Yes, you overreacted. There was no need to strop off upstairs.

I'm exhausted after a night of playing musical beds with DC, so I appreciate I'm overly grumpy!

I'm with you OP, the table is no place to discuss medical conditions.

Wouldn't bother me one iota.

You're a bit snowflakey squeamish, I presume?

I do think you over reacted. He was making conversation

I'd want to know more - but I'm a bit ghoulish like that.

He should have stopped telling the story when you asked but I don't think it was worthy of a strop. You've had a taxing day but on the other hand you were a bit rude in not joining him for dinner. So on balance I think you should have a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit together and put it behind you.

Very squeamish! I can't watch or read any type of gory stories, have to look away when it's on tv, etc. I don't know why I am, I just can't stand it. I'm fine when DC injures themselves, but that's the most I am stand.

It's always something like that that tips me over the edge when I've had a horrible day. It's not a topic most people would want to hear while eating and, while your response wasn't as measured as it might have been if you'd had a decent day, he should have realised that.

How is it snowflakey to not want to discuss decomposing bodies over dinner? seriously?
Plus when you're knackered you don't want to listen to shite anyway. I know I don't.

Yes it does sound rather an OTT reaction tbh. I think throwing a moody strop and storming off was unreasonable.

However, I have some sympathy as you sound exhausted, stressed and at the end of your tether

Over reaction on your part - and if I was him I'd be pissed off that you'd rather finish cleaning the bathroom than sit and eat dinner with me!

sqoosh I'm absolutely knackered and couldn't face going back up afterwards to finish it, and hate leaving a cleaning job half done

I think you need to put your big girl pants on

Id be fucked off even if I wasn't eating and I'd asked him to stop telling me something horrible I didnt want to hear about.

Actually I think he should have waited for you to finish your tea, particularly as you asked him to.

I'm the opposite, always happy to down my cleaning tools. Especially if food is calling

Not sure about the above replies

You asked him not to talk about gory stuff whilst you were eating, he did anyway ignoring what you quite reasonably asked. Surely he is the unreasonable one. Esp if you had a shit day.

Disclaimer: Also in a awful mood. fuck off out of my house norovirus

I don't know, I'd be pissed off if I cooked someone dinner and they decided they'd rather clean than enjoy it with me.
