Unsupportive husband or not?

Very minor issue over weekend but just need perspective please:

Went to a theme park and noticed a poster saying there will be a teletubbies show today at 12:15. I asked the worker standing there about it and she was totally out of order rude to me she said “no madam, this Poster is a year old, there has been a worldwide pandemic going on if you haven’t noticed!”. I blushed and got very embarrassed I apologised and walked away. Husband in his usual manner just carries on like nothing which was okay as I don’t get any support from him anyway even though he could see I was embarrassed. We carried on walking and saw same poster but this time huge tents and people queuing up. I asked another worker what was going on and he said Teletubbies show in 15 minutes. I explained to him what just happened and his reaction was knowingly smiling and asked me to describe this worker and I did and he said put in a complaint please (I didn’t as I couldn’t be bothered). It’s my husband reaction more than anything that bothered me not the worker, when I said how rude she was and my little one whose teletybby mad would have missed out. He got very irate with me and said there’s more important things going on just bloody let it go.

I never feel emotionally supported by him. If tables were turned I would have defended him and said to the woman “well it’s confusing as it says today’s shows, so maybe take it down Or cover it eh?”

I wouldn't have expected to be supported, nor would I have offered support for something as stupid as that.
Nor would I have discussed it afterwards, as far as I'd be concerned there would be nothing to discuss.

is noone going to ask why a show is going on in a tent during a pandemic?

I totally understand OP. In my exh’s book, absolutely everyone on earth was always right except for me.

@Stannisbaratheonsboxofmatches I think you're massively projecting. No one, including DH, said OP was in the wrong. He just didn't jump to her defence.

@Verity35 That’s what CBT was where councellor would give an alternative viewpoints

It isn't the responsibility of strangers on the Internet to be your therapist, nor should you expect people to respond to you as if we are.
