AIBU over a cut finger?

So yesterday dh went to watch football with a mate. As a general rule of thumb I don’t message him when he’s out(it’s only 3 hours) unless he texts first about something. Plus horrid weather yesterday meaning freezing cold so also would avoid messaging him so he didn’t need to take his gloves off.

Anyway whilst he’s out I gouged my finger cleaning a champagne flute. Panicked a little because of the flappy skin and blood so messages my little family group chat with a picture so my aunt could tell me if I had anything to worry about(she’s a nurse). She says all good just clean and plaster, enough skin left it’ll take a good few days to heal all good.

When I go to plaster it I go overkill and put a huge plaster on it, find it funny so take a picture complete with petted lip and sent it to my aunt and posted on fb in a ‘fml I’m an idiot’ funny way.

Dh then sees the fb post and has been in a mood with me for not telling him about my cut. Has barely spoken to me since he got home yesterday and didn’t even tell me he’d come home. Scared the shit out of me when I suddenly heard someone in my kitchen. He’d been in, to the toilet, changed and back downstairs without even saying a hello?!

A frosty evening ensued - took him until 9 o’clock to mention dinner and today has been just as bad.

I mean was I really unreasonable to message him
As soon as I cut myself?! I’m genuinely like WTF at the moment.

And I reallllly appreciate how fucking ridiculous this thing is.

Weird reaction from both of you over a cut finger.

His is slightly weirder though and I'd be mildly interested in his side, if he was on here Grin

Hope it feels better now OP.

Has he actually said what has upset him over this minor injury?
It all sounds very odd IMHO.

Travis1 · 16/02/2020 23:40

I genuinely have no idea what his problem is and he hasn’t said other than the fact that I didn’t tell him straight away. I’d see the issue if I’d been at a&e and hadn’t told him but even if I had been he doesn’t drive and would be no use to me I’d I needed to get somewhere urgently.

I doubt the bad omen joke would get to him, we make daft jokes about mistresses, divorce etc in fact I think it was him that made a similar joke when my engagement ring snapped 🤷🏻‍♀️

I hear you about the years thing OP I often cry when we're fighting. It normally makes the arguement ten times worse as I am then told I am crying to get my way or something similar.

Is your DH normally this petty? This seems like a massive over reaction and very controlling behaviour.

HaveeeeYouMetTed · 16/02/2020 23:53

Very bizzare behaviour on his behalf OP. As you said, had you been rushed to hospital via ambulance, rang 999 or required some kind of hospital treatment then I'd understand his annoyance. As it stands, you've simply cut your finger & shoved a plaster on it. I can't understand at all why he would need to know about that until he came home.

Hope it heals quickly. The smallest of cuts are sometimes the most painful (papercuts - I'm looking at you!)

OP, he doesn't sound very nice.
He can hardly claim to care if he hasn't even bothered to ask exactly what happened.

I think this can hardly be an isolated incident.

OP, how long are you together?

He sounds spoilt, selfish and unkind.

Take care.Flowers

ohfourfoxache · 17/02/2020 00:56

He sounds like a complete prat tbh

Why on Earth would it be important for him to know about something so trivial immediately?

OneHanded · 17/02/2020 01:01

ODD. That’s a minor cut.

ChickLitLover · 17/02/2020 01:02

I think most blokes would be pissed off if you did disturb a football match to tell them you had cut your finger and put a plaster on it. Who knows what his problem is. I’d just carry on with my weekend and let him have his strop. I’ve got no time for strops, silent treatment, sulking etc. It’s all very unattractive. When he decides to talk properly again, I’d be informing him that I won’t put up with such childish behaviour in future.

Hmm anyone at a football match (other events are available) if someone texted them about a cut finger. (plus if it's anything like the matches i go to internet is patchy depending on the size of the crowd and the stage of the match)

baubled · 17/02/2020 09:27

I thought this was going to be the other way around when I started to read your opening post, "was IU to message my husband a picture of my cut finger when he was at the football" He sounds ridiculous, what does he think he could have done to help even if he was in the house when you cut it 🙄.

My body also betrays me and cries too which sets off another mood in DP!
