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?

I really hope you get the job.

He's a prick and honestly - I'd be wondering about what motivates this particular prank (like wanting to clip your wings with the prospect of this new job making him pathetically insecure). Maybe not, but either way it's deeply a unfunny and nasty "prank". You are NOT overreacting and don't let him convince you that you are.

Dobbyismyfavourite · 15/03/2021 13:45

Your DP and his brother are both twats.

Fingers crossed you get the job and then think seriously about dumping him. You should be with someone who loves you and has your back. Move on life is too short for this bullshit.

StanfordPines · 15/03/2021 13:45

What a complete dick.
I hope you get the job and leave him.
In fact I'd considered leaving him anyway. Then he would complain that you don't have a sense of humour I bet. Fuck him.

PeteWicksSexyPirate · 15/03/2021 13:46

That would really piss me off because he’s keeping your phone engaged and the employers could be trying to get through!!
Good luck OP, I hope you get the job Smile

ArabellaScott · 15/03/2021 13:46

What an arse, OP. Hope you get the job and move on with your life.

ZorbaTheHoarder · 15/03/2021 13:47

Like others, I think he is trying to sabotage your efforts to get the job, for whatever reason of his own.
He is not bothered that his antics have made you cry.
Do you really want to be with someone like that?

Fingers crossed for the job, by the way!

Justgorgeous · 15/03/2021 13:47

Total twat. I really hope you get the job. Good luck

littlepattilou · 15/03/2021 13:47

What a nasty thing to do. Bet he wouldn't like it if you did it to him! Hmm

Hope you get the job @afternoonnapqueen Smile

AWhisperWillDoIfThatsAllYouCan · 15/03/2021 13:47

Why are you with this guy? Immature little prick that he is.

GloGirl · 15/03/2021 13:47

*Actually, is that the iissue. You'll get a job you like. Does he object to thatfor some reason?"

I agree with this, he seems to be winding you up about your new job and it wouldn't surprise me if either he's jealous, or threatened by your independence. He sounds deeply unpleasant, with a shit sense of humour.

DishingOutDone · 15/03/2021 13:48

When you say OH are you married or living together? Cos if not then it’s easier to dump the fucker. Just saying.

raspberryjamlove · 15/03/2021 13:48

What a nasty thing to do. Good luck op hope you get the job x

steppemum · 15/03/2021 13:49

Honestly?

Does this open your eys to how he is generally? Is this a bit of a light bulb moment?
Do you have kids together?
For me, it would be a moment to walk away. There is something about it which is really nasty and vindictive.
But aslo something which shows a really fundamental lack of understanding of another human being. Emotionally about 8 years old.

jackstini · 15/03/2021 13:49

What a knobhead

He ruined the day by being a rest and then blaming you for not appreciating him being a cockwomble!

JillsFlapjacks · 15/03/2021 13:49

He's a dick. This isn't a prank, it's something only an immature, thoughtless, arsehole would do.

I hope you get the job!

jackstini · 15/03/2021 13:49

Why does twat autocorrect to rest?!

Anyway I hope you get the job and lose the OH

GreyhoundG1rl · 15/03/2021 13:50

Sweet Jesus, what an absolute tool Hmm. That would make me reconsider the relationship, tbh. He doesn't have your back in the slightest.

HerNameIsY0shimi · 15/03/2021 13:50

What a nasty bastard. He sounds about 12.

Good luck! Hope you get the job and dump the arsehole.

MrsTulipTattsyrup · 15/03/2021 13:50

I never say LTB, but if I was in your position and my DH had done this to me, I couldn’t possibly continue to share my life with him. To mock and belittle my mental health, to be so pointedly cruel, would make it so clear that there’s no way he loved me, or even liked me very much, and didn’t care how his actions made me feel; he’d be the other side of a locked door without his keys in minutes. Honestly.

I hope you get your fabulous job and then throw him out, and demonstrate by living happily and with self-respect just how much you don’t need an arsehole like him.

PegasusReturns · 15/03/2021 13:51

That’s awful! Is he usually so unsupportive?

bloodywhitecat · 15/03/2021 13:52

I think you mean ex OH? He's an unkind prick and I wish you every success with the job.

Ninkanink · 15/03/2021 13:52

He wouldn’t be my OH for one more day, and I’m absolutely serious about that. Get away from him, he’s a nasty person who doesn’t have your back.

Ninkanink · 15/03/2021 13:52

Also 💐and good luck!🤞

MrsWhites · 15/03/2021 13:52

I hope you get the job....and a new partner too!

MotherofTerriers · 15/03/2021 13:53

I really hope you get the job, leave him and find someone who treats you with care and respect
It's a really nasty thing to do
