To think OH prank isn't funny?

Today is the day I hear if I got the job I wanted I'm really banking on getting it and will be gutted if I don't.

I get terrible anxiety I worked myself up so much last week I had a panic attack. OH has been pranking me this morning of No caller ID he even got his brother to join in.

I kept thinking I missed the call and was wondering why they couldn't hear me when I kept saying Hello, I was getting my self into a right mess.

OH and his brother cracking up laughing messaging each other, now they've put me in a terrible mood.

AIBU to think this isn't funny or am I just too serious?

He’d be my ex OH after this.

@afternoonnapqueen

They called and just let me know I have been shortlisted but they need to do another three more interviews. Their are 6 positions so fingers crossed I am one of them. Will find out for definite on Thursday she said.

OH has been sulking and apologised and said he took it to far. Still think he is twat though!

Yes - shouldn't have taken it anywhere at all, let alone 'too far'. He can sulk if he wants but if he feels back it is because he was a jerk. I am so sorry this happened to you, hope you get the job you want.

Get rid of this cocklodger, seriously, I can’t imagine that he has any redeeming features.

Eekay · 15/03/2021 21:01

Really hope you get the job.Flowers
Your husband is a nasty piece of work frankly.

Remona · 15/03/2021 21:02

Oh ffs. He’s a complete knob as is his brother. Having a laugh at someone else’s expense. That’s just cruel.

Twolostsoulsswimminginafishbow · 15/03/2021 21:03

DH wouldn’t dream of doing anything so cruel. It’s really insensitive and nasty.

ladymalfoy45 · 15/03/2021 21:04

Can I ask, if you have upsetting news does he get defensive and claim he’s experienced something worse?
Or, does he become defensive and ask why you are upset if you’re supposed to be happy with him?
When you get the job he’ll start interrogating you about everything at work.
‘Why do you need new clothes?’
‘Why do you need to get your hair styled?’
‘Why didn’t you answer you ‘phone when I needed you? It was an emergency with the kids’
He may be a SAHD but how much do you do in the am and pm?
If the roles were reversed he’d expect you to sort mornings out ‘because you don’t work’ and the evening meal sorted ‘because you don’t work’ .
Does he actually do any kind of pre-school learning with them? Or support their EYFS or school work?

JumpOnAPlane · 15/03/2021 21:13

Really good to hear you got the call and are on the shortlist - fingers crossed for you.

As to the "man" in your life...

Yeah he apologised but he shouldn't have done any of the crap in the first place.

Pleased you still see him as a twat because that is exactly what he is.

Good luck with the jobFlowers

thinkingaboutLangCleg · 15/03/2021 21:15

he's saying I've ruined the day because I've got in a mood over it all

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OP, you don't need this shit in your life. No one does. Good luck with the job, but whether you get it or not I'd be planning a new life without OH.

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 15/03/2021 21:29

he's saying I've ruined the day because I've got in a mood over it all

No HE'S ruined the day for being such a massive cunt.

lakespring · 15/03/2021 21:46

At some point when everything is calmer I might try having a conversation with him about whether he is actually happy at the moment and what his hopes for the future are.
Because he was behaving in a very mean spirited way which could suggest he is angry and looking for a safe way of expressing it.
You should absolutely tell him he has behaved badly, because he has.
But to be that mean suggests that something is wrong in his life
( or he is and always has been a tool, in which case ditch him)

CoraPirbright · 15/03/2021 21:48

....oh and he sulks too Hmm. What a prince amongst men he is.

Cherrysoup · 15/03/2021 21:50

That is not the actions of someone who cares for you. I bet he’s an arsehole in many other ways.

TeeBee · 15/03/2021 21:51

He sounds vile. Hope you get the job and ditch the twat.

Iflyaway · 15/03/2021 22:00

Yea, I really hope you get the job!

What a nasty piece of work he is. And in conjunction with his brother... are they 8 years old? Why is the brother even in on this? Does he not have a life??

OP, think very carefully about the role models they are showing your children.

TrickyD · 15/03/2021 22:09

OH has been sulking

What the hell has he got to sulk about?

redastherose · 15/03/2021 22:09

You really need to try and change the dynamics of your home life. Say you need him to step up and start contributing to the household equally and look for nursery places for the two kiddies even if you are no better off into the short term.

Bumblebee1980a · 15/03/2021 22:11

What a nob!

Topmum66 · 15/03/2021 22:20

Cruel and now that he probably feels guilty he’ll try blame you for ‘ruining his mood today’. Whether you get the job or not, get rid of him.

PeggyHill · 15/03/2021 22:28

Pranking you?! Is he fucking 9?? I have not heard of an adult man prank calling his wife in this way. I've not heard of anyone doing that since I was in school. Sounds like he has problems or something. Not normal at all.

AcrossthePond55 · 15/03/2021 22:38

I HATE 'pranks' or 'practical jokes'. Nothing is funny about making another person look or feel bad.

If I were you I'd be asking myself exactly what it is this 'joker' brings to the relationship and whether or not I'd be better off paying for whatever it is elsewhere. Because I daresay this 'prank' is only the tip of the iceberg.

(I'm thinking childcare, housework etc)

Gilly12345 · 15/03/2021 22:39

He sounds pathetic and immature, hope you are successful.

AMMCIAC · 15/03/2021 22:40

You are right, it's not funny.

fearfulexchange · 15/03/2021 22:41

Vile - get rid!
Good luck with the job x

Carbara · 15/03/2021 22:49

Shame that you picked such a piece of shit for a boyfriend. I suggest he gets a job, if he’s the main career for the kids, he’ll be the resident parent once you come to your senses and dump him. Does he bully them, too? Or just you?
