Who IBU - DH vs Dishwasher!

Hopefully a quick one but just want to assess whether IABU or not.

Happy to be told I am. (For anyone who hasn’t seen my other posts I’m suffering BAD HG- currently 16+5 and for numerous reasons tensions between DH and I are a little high)

DH isn’t around a lot to help a lot but will occasionally load the dishwasher. We have had numerous conversations about DH not using the ‘eco’ setting as it’s takes almost 3 hours (I use this in evening/overnight).

He’s loaded it an hour ago, with ALL of the knives inside and set it off on a 3 hour ‘eco’ cycle. Every single knife in the house - plus several other items I use regularly through the day as very limited in what I can eat and urgency in needing to eat FAST.

I pointed it out to him, he made out I was wrong and went to find a knife- obviously couldn’t! Then skulked away with the ‘well serves me right for trying to help’ look on his face.

I know it’s not a ‘big deal’ but eating/mealtimes are hard enough for me atm without trying to tear apart loaves of bread with my hands and buttering with a spoon 😂 I have specifically asked numerous times for him not to do it and he just ‘ignores me’/forgets.

AIBU?

Will totally accept if so! - He’s currently sulking like I’m a nightmare and he’s a dream domestic house husband 🙄

My advice? Open the dishwasher,remove knife, place husband's hand inside close door and start a normal cycle😝
