To fear I may have overreacted

I'll try and keep a long story short.
I woke up very grumpy this morning after a bad nights sleep. My DH occasionally has night terrors and last night he had one and it's terrifying, he screams with so much anger and it's hard to wake him from it. It's not the best way to start the day so, although I know rationally it's not his fault and he can't help it, I was snappy this morning at 6am. We went back to sleep but ended up all getting up later than usual.
Anyway so we all get up ready to do the school run. I have an interview today so DH is taking them to school. He has a habit of taking his time in the mornings, a nice long shower, 'drying off' in a towel. However we all got up a little later than usual so I was abit miffed that he went to have a shower 30 minutes before he and the kids were due to leave, leaving me to get them ready/make lunches/get packed ect. I got it done, and he's still in the shower 15 minutes later. I figured I would give him a scare and get him moving, and also apologise for snapping, so I unlocked the door quietly and after a moment or two I realised he was masturbating! I was furious. They had to leave in 15 minutes, he's gone and left me to do every thing, I've come to say sorry and he thinks it's an appropriate time to have a wank? (Btw don't have a problem with that although it did take me by surprise, in 10 years I've never caught him out and didn't really know how to react anyway)
So he's pissed off with me for still being angry with him, I'm pissed off that he's an inconsiderate prick. But I fear I've over reacted here. Would anyone else be annoyed?

@sweenytoddsrazor no, he knew. We've talked about it since, and you know, I made it clear it wasn't the act itself I was annoyed about. He tried to say he thought he had time. I was like what about getting the kids ready? Of course I was going to do it if you're going to be late. He replied 'I thought you were getting ready for your interview'... well, a big part of getting ready is having a shower, which was otherwise occupied! He's so full of shit sometimes it's unreal. His justification makes no sense at all. He's super weird about talking about sex which is why I think he likes the solitude of the shower (and he's always denied he masturbates frequently, it was only a few weeks ago he admitted he watches porn. That's a weird 10 year lie)
Honestly I've never done or said anything to make him feel ashamed or like he has to hide it. I'm forever trying to introduce stuff into our relationship. But like someone commented earlier, despite his protests, his long showers makes sense. I wasn't naive about it.

I’ve read on. It seems KissedByFire is just an attention seeker. How pathetic.

For me this isnt about sex this is about him taking time out for himself (whatever it was) when other things needed doing and he should have been prioritising other people

As for getting ready for your interview - not only was he in the shower but who would be sorting out the children

Can he have his long showers and wank at night instead?
Next time you hog the bathroom for a couple of hours or longer and when he asks what you are doing just say you are wanking.

@KissedByFire - Honestly, no one cares.

OP sorry I’ve missed how the interview went, have you heard back?

Hoopaloop · 06/12/2018 19:39

I'd also be furious that he was masturbating like some entitled little wanker. Just my personal standpoint, but DH knows full well he's not permitted to masturbate and any sexual relief he's permitted is entirely my decision
