Would you think it was weird if they didn’t say hello?

[PolarBearStrength]

If you were visiting a friend and their partner/husband was in the house, would you think it was weird if they didn’t pop their head into the kitchen to say hi? (Person is not working so not stuck on conference calls or anything like that and it’s not a massive house so they know you are there.)

YABU - It’s perfectly normal not to say hello
YANBU - It’s rude not to greet guests

Depends how friendly you are with your friend's partner

Agree it's odd if you are friends

As a guest though arguably if you know the partner was there and wanted to say Hello then you could have stuck your head round the door or shouted Hello

I find it really odd and rude when there's another person in the house and they don't pop in to say hello, it makes me feel sort of unwelcome!

One of my friends partners is really rude. He will walk past you in the lounge and only say hi if you say it to him. Then he will talk to his partner directly eg "I've put the towel in the laundry basket, work was a pain today etc" then he will go into the kitchen, make himself a drink without offering one to his DP or me,. He will then usually saunter about doing his own thing.

I used to think he was just leaving us to chat in private, but judging by what others have said, and the fact he lingers around in earshot without acknowledging you properly, hes just a bit of an arse.

Other friends DPs are very nice and pleasant.

My DP would come down and say hi and make small talk before leaving us to it for a bit.

I think it would be polite to pop in and say hi. I don't think I'd be overly bothered about it though unless I knew them well. I'd probably just assume they were shy or busy doing something (even if that something isn't work).

I think it lacks social graces to not acknowledge someone in your house and say hello even if you don't stay there chatting for long

I think it's fucking insane!
Iv been to friend's houses and sat having a brew, kids playing etc. Their partners/husbands have sat upstairs and not said hello. It's rude. Someone's in your house, your wife's FRIENDS, so make a tiny fucking effort.
My bf has always said hi if he is home

Wow. I agree it's definitely good manners to make a brief appearance and say hi but your reaction is really OTT. Their partner might be shy, have other stuff going on or just want to give you and your friend some space, or perhaps it just didn't occur to them. It's a little rude perhaps but not 'insane' or worthy of a sweary rant!

What’s weirder is when the husband that you don’t know, stays in the room! Friendly catch with a mate- is over!

Wow, it’s still really evenly split!
