First world problem but DH is sulking like a toddler and expecting an apology.

Currently pregnant. Had our anatomy scan on Tuesday, everything was fine. I wanted to find out the sex of the baby and the sonographer agreed to look, so DH stepped out of the room whilst I was told.
We did this for our last baby and I was able to keep it to myself, so DH didn’t find out until he was born.

Today DH decided to use my eBay account for no particular reason, just a browse, and saw that I’d purchased a little white broderie anglaise dress and cardigan for the baby when she arrives.

Which obviously to him means I have spoiled the surprise.

Aibu to tell him to grow up? If he had have told me he wanted to use my account I could have warned him I’d made baby related purchases that would give away the sex. Instead he’s upstairs in a huff, blaming me for ruining his birthday (tomorrow) and that he doesn’t know how he can sit across from me at dinner knowing I’ve ‘betrayed his trust’

Why was he looking at your previous purchases? If he wanted to browse eBay, he'd have no reason to look at that.

He sounds like a fucking arsehole and I wouldn't cook him dinner for a good long time. I'm sorry you have children with such a fucking child himself Flowers

Thread killer strikes again. Thanks staedtler. Haven't you got a pencil that needs sharpening somewhere?

Your husband is being absolutely pathetic. Tell him to grow up or feck off. Honestly, what a precious knobend.

I’m a dad of 2, I don’t understand all this rubbish about knowing, not knowing.

With children there are a million and one bigger fishes to fry than when you find out the sex of your baby.

Woeful from him.

@steadtler

Your observation is spot on. This is exactly how women behave.

Except in this case it's not a woman is it? Because twatty behaviour isn't just the preserve of women.

@Floralhousecoat

You missed the word 'typically' in my post. It's an important one.

hie own fault for snooping, they do say if you snoop you have no one to blame if you find out something you really would rather not know
