To think my husband is being a cunt

I can't actually believe how well we've been getting on during lockdown. Really close, really loving eachother etc. But tonight my mum calls and he's turned into a total cunt. Kept playing Chas and Dave on his phone.....the song about "you don't stop talking". Making me having to speak to my lovely mum a few decibels louder. She was only showing concern for me and my mental health yet my husband believes she did called purpose to stop us watching a programme we like!!!! Literally wtf.....so not true! I love my mum so very very much and I balled my eyes out when I got off the phone to the point I was hyperventilating, but was totally ignored by my husband. So so so sad tonight

He's a real prick, isn't he?

But couldn't you watch the programme at another time? If not, couldn't you have told your mum you'd speak later?

CyberNan · 01/05/2020 22:12

maybe he was enjoying having you to himself and feels your mum has stopped that.

have you asked him why he behaved the way he did?

LouiseTrees · 01/05/2020 22:13

Could you not have said can I call you back in x ( insert minutes to end of program) so that you could have a proper conversation without him being an idiot? But agreed he is being unreasonable not you and he needs to grow up.

SoCockneyItHurts · 01/05/2020 22:13

It was never about the "programme" it was about my mum calling me

He really really hates my mum for no good reason

He was horrible to do that. Could you have gone into another room or would he have followed? Unless you were on a landline of course.

Monsterjam · 01/05/2020 22:17

Were you talking in the same room as him trying to watch tv? That could be annoying. However he sounds bit of a dick for playing songs rather than asking you to move away and then not comforting you .

CyberNan · 01/05/2020 22:17

to him it is good reason... maybe try and see it from his point of view.

SoCockneyItHurts · 01/05/2020 22:18

Really @cybernan can you elaborate please

How can you love a man who hates your mum??

Evanna13 · 01/05/2020 22:19

Is he close to his own mum? Could he be jealous of the relationship you have with yours?

RandomMess · 01/05/2020 22:20

Do you usually not get on that well and he resents that your Mum supports you?

SoCockneyItHurts · 01/05/2020 22:20

No, he's not close to any of his family at all, never has been

GuyFawkesDay · 01/05/2020 22:20

Next time he's on the phone just do similar. Maybe "canter" by Gerry Cinnamon might do 😈

What's sauce for the goose....

SoCockneyItHurts · 01/05/2020 22:21

We've only really got on super well since lockdown, before then I was juggling everything and now we're super chilled

Eh? So many missing pieces of info here.

If you were on the phone to your mum while he was trying to watch the TV in the same room YABU.

If he usually acts like a petulant child when you talk to your mum then YABU for putting up with it.

You are better off discussing it with him than moaning on here

SoCockneyItHurts · 01/05/2020 22:23

Thanks @pippapegg so helpful when I'm feeling totally like shit

It not only shows his disrespect towards your mum it also shows it towards you.

I’ve never disrupted DH’s calls from family and he’s the same with me. It’s mutual respect.

Downton57 · 01/05/2020 22:25

He's behaved like an utter knob. Can't believe some people are wanting you to look at this from his point of view. There's no excuse! It was a shitty way to behave and I'm not surprised you're upset.

LovingLola · 01/05/2020 22:25

Could you not have left the room and finished the call?

Puds11 · 01/05/2020 22:27

If you can’t love a man who hates your mum then leave him Confused

Waveysnail · 01/05/2020 22:27

Why didnt you leave the room when your mum rang if you know he doesnt like her Hmm

sowrj · 01/05/2020 22:27

@Puds11 exactly! You seem to have answered your own question really OP

nauseaandnipples · 01/05/2020 22:28

I probably would have taken the call in a different room but he was completely unreasonable.
How is he when you chat with friends? Does he have a problem with you being close to anyone but him?

LovingLola · 01/05/2020 22:29

How long are you together?
