To not tell DH what this conversation was about?

ASnowballsChance · 09/02/2019 13:54

So, I was on the phone to my DM and we were talking about dreams and their possible meanings. DH walked into the room to ask me a question and overhead me saying the words 'upset, anxious and frustrated'. After I got off the phone DH asked me if my DM was alright and I said yes, fine. He then kept on asking what we were talking about due to the words he had heard me say. When I told him it was a private conversation and if there was anything wrong or anything he needed to know I would tell him he accused me of deliberately leaving him wondering what I was talking about when I could have just told him. AIBU to not tell him the whole conversation/context of the words?

Glad you've had a rethink!! Well done for being open minded and actually wanting to hear what people thought, and acting on it. I Hold out a lot more hope for your marriage now - but seriously, your OP sounded like a 16 year old!!

That's sweet OP at 14 years and counting he is concerned for you as he should be in case you are upset, anxious and frustrated. Maybe he was thinking he could do something to help.

HappydaysArehere · 09/02/2019 14:22

For goodness sake why can’t you tell him. Your reluctance just exasperates his worry. Perhaps this is what you want? Do you need attention? Do you enjoy winding your poor husband up?

SandAndSea · 09/02/2019 14:25

Happy days - read the thread! She's on it. Smile

Ginkythefangedhellpigofdoom · 09/02/2019 14:30

Well I'm Glad at least the thread has helped you see you were being a bit of an arse mean. Obviously meant in the nicest way possible.

Sometimes it just takes an outside view to see things clearly!

Have a good weekend op

Why do people carry on berating the OP even when she’s acknowledged she’s been unreasonable? Drives me mad when people still insist on sticking the boot in Hmm

Guavaf1sh · 09/02/2019 14:35

It’s rare to see an OP admit she was wrong and act upon it. Kudos to you

ASnowballsChance · 09/02/2019 14:37

Thanks everyone, it's all good now Smile I agree I was petty, I don't enjoy winding him up, I'm just tired and snappy (no excuse). I've explained the conversation to him now and apologised. He is fine.

Good result op !

Mishappening · 09/02/2019 14:38

Well done OP - high five to you! Smile

Sleep deprivation is a very particular form of torture!

Kittykat93 · 09/02/2019 14:44

Fair play to you op Smile

RomanyQueen1 · 09/02/2019 15:01

I don't know why you just didn't tell him, tbh.
isn't he your partner, do you not communicate?

RomanyQueen1 · 09/02/2019 15:01

Well done OP. Thanks

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 09/02/2019 15:07

This is just the type of AIBU thread I loathe. An OP who’s being completely unreasonable. And then instead of continuing to state that they’re right and everybody else is wrong has the nerve to acknowledge the fact.

Tinty · 09/02/2019 15:17

@Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies

Grin Great username.
FredFlinstoneMadeOfBones · 09/02/2019 15:19

I'd be irritated too if I was your DH. Why make it into a big secret when it wasn't even that interesting?

FredFlinstoneMadeOfBones · 09/02/2019 15:20

Aaaah sorry OP you already owned it good for you! (Although I'm in a bad mood so would have preferred an OP who got annoyed so we could all have an argument!)

ASnowballsChance · 09/02/2019 15:31

Sorry to disappoint! And sorry about your bad mood, I know how you feel...... Every day is different and each day is new - here's to a better one tomorrow.

Well, that de-escalated quickly. Grin

Yabbers · 09/02/2019 15:51

We have been happily married for 14 years and still going strong. Thank you all for grounding me, can't believe I even asked now!

Aww bless. We’ve all had those moments. Hope you sleep better tonight.

Yabbers · 09/02/2019 15:52

Well, that de-escalated quickly.
Love it!
