To be annoyed because DH said he would...

[user1471592953]

...be disappointed if I took a sip out of his wine glass?

DH has a wine glass he always drinks from. I borrowed it earlier and ‘threatened’ to use it for my wine for the evening. He started saying that he would be ‘disappointed’ if I took a sip out of his wine glass. He told me he didn’t find the joke funny. My view is that it is a wine glass so making statements about being disappointed is ridiculous. I’m considering taking myself off to do something else on NYE because I’d rather not spend the evening with him. AIBU in relation to any of this stuff? Fully aware that it is a pathetic argument all round but I’m totally that he has actually made that comment about my drinking from a frigging wine glass!

You both sound weird.

overreating? Over reacting.

Is it the only usable wine glass in the house, or are there others that you could use equally well?

If this wine glass is the only way you can access getting a drink in your house then he’s being controlling. However, if there are other perfectly serviceable glasses in the house and he just happens to prefer to use this one, then your mission to wind him up about it is the thing that’s disappointing. It’s certainly not funny.

In fact, I did wonder whether this was a reverse to begin with. Making threats to leave in a strop because you’re being a wind-up merchant and your partner isn’t amused by your ‘joke’ is more typically male behaviour.

You can’t relay tone in a written message. He was quite rude to me which is why I didn’t want to hang around.

Well you were being silly in the first instance and sounds like you were intentionally winding him up...now you don't like it when he retaliates.

I say grow up

I dont like my mug being used by anyone else either. And some mugs tea just doesnt taste right in so I guess the same can be said for wine glasses. You must know its his wine glass and he doesn't like others using it so you were just winding him up. That you dont like his response is tough.

Okay, thanks all. I’ve said sorry now but I still think he was being a bit weird about it.
