To think OH prank isn't funny?

[afternoonnapqueen]

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?

@afternoonnapqueen

I'm in tears over it all he's saying I've ruined the day because I've got in a mood over it all. God I hate him so much! He's trying to say he was preparing me for the call.

Gaslighting.

Hope you get the job and see the sense to leave this manipulative arse of a man..!

A prank is putting googly eyes on the marmite jar. What you describe is a nasty trick

He's the one who's ruined the day.

Can you imagine doing something that made someone else cry and instead of apologising, blaming them? How fucking heartless is he?!

He sounds absolutely horrible OP. Unless he apologises and admits this was a serious error of judgement then I would seriously consider leaving over this.

I hope you get the job then you can dump this arsehole !!

Did he see this on Friday night dinner when Johnny does it to Adam and think it was so hilarious he had to do it to someone when he got the chance? I like Friday night dinner but that episode actually pissed me off because I thought it was such a cruel thing to do.

Your OH is a dick. Hope you get the job, leave him and find someone supportive and amazing.

We've been together 4 years and have two DC's I already work full time and he looks after the kids.

What's annoyed me the most is he's not even apologised. He just thinks it's funny his brother just pranked me again and OH is still laughing.

I would never think of doing anything like that to someone!

Oh OP, I'm so sorry your husband is a prize prick. Can you explain why you are married to this emotionally abusive loser of a man child. Does he have any good qualities to speak of?

What a knob...
I would be very tempted to not bother telling him whether you got the job or not, or say whatever would piss him off the most... And keep it going for as long as possible... Then when you do tell him - 'its just a bants!'
Probably not great advice to follow as bastards like him are usually manipulative and will turn it to their advantage but I like to think things in my head even if I can't do them in real life...

Dreadful immature behaviour.

I find it hard to believe that you don't already know what an absolute prick your partner is. Decent people don't just do something so horrible like this out of the blue. I'm betting he has form for this kind of behaviour.

this is one ofthose moments when I woudl do this.

Ignore it now.

Later (probably tomorrow) sit down with him and ask him why he thinks you might be upset about it.
Explain that it wasn't just 'not funny' it was deeply upsetting and he was a 100% dick to continue once he realised that you were upset.
That he needs to grow up and behave liek a man, because boys are not attractive as life partners.

He's a dickhead.
Show him this thread. Prick.

This is so unnecessary and uncalled for from your partner! I really hope you get the job, good luck 🤞🏻

I don't mind pranks but this is neither funny nor acceptable. It's only funny if the person being pranked finds it funny. There's nothing funny about anxiety. I'd have serious words with him and brother!

That's not a way to treat someone you love. What a cruel thing to do and you must feel very hurt at them laughing at you for being upset. I hope you get the job.

So you've effectively got 3 kids to support.

I'll wager London to a brick he's been a dick the entire time, not just this one time.

Whenever I feel down about being a single mum, I come on Mumsnet and look at threads like these and count myself lucky I don't have to put up with such shitty behaviour from someone who claims to love and care about me.

I'm sorry you're with such a shit guy OP. I hope you get the job and can get rid of that nasty waste of space. Pranks are supposed to be funny, what he's done is really nasty and horrible. He knows you're anxious about it and instead of being supportive, he's just laughing at you. And he's got his brother involved too? They sound like high school bullies.

So he doesn’t work and spends his day instead taking the piss out of you? Yeah that’s not working well is it?

I have never wanted a stranger to get a job so much! I hope you get it and rub it in the nasty bastards face, and hopefully realise that this is actually really fucking nasty and you deserve better

Well he doesn't have your back does he?

He has no empathy and no respect for you, and no ability to listen to you.

You are in a great position as the breadwinner. I would urge you seriously consider a life without him.

That’s not just dickish OP that’s really nasty.

How does he find you hoping you get a job funny when you’re the one putting food on the table? I hope he isn’t normally like this

Hope you get the job -

Prank him back with a promise of sex that you don’t deliver on. Ever.

Do you think it's good for your DCs to see their dad laughing at their mum being upset?

Cos he clearly thinks it is. Awful.

Is this the kind of man you want to share your life with ?

Honestly?

I hope you get the job OP
