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?

He is in a mood saying you have ruined his day because you have. You have highlighted what a childish nasty spiteful little wanker he is, and he doesnt like that.

A lot of people go into attack mode when they know that they are in the wrong and will never apologise. You have one of them.

Time to rethink your personal life as well as your professional one.....

He sees your distress, delights in it and tries to sustain it. I don’t know why someone who loves you would do that.

Yep. That's not love. You can do better OP.

And I wonder if there is more to him not working than simply being at home with the kids......... did he ever work in any meaningful way OP?

@afternoonnapqueen

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!

So he’s a child who doesn’t work but messes with your head? Chuck his stuff out of the window as a prank. Then lock the door behind him.

Is he intimidated by you because you are the one bringing in the money and paying the bills? Maybe he feels less of a man? Obviously he shouldn’t because of that but he sounds like a knob. Most people would be supportive of their partners.

I wouldn’t want someone like that bringing up my children.

So he's trying to diminish and humiliate you? That's no prank.

Good luck by the way

He wants to bring you down a peg or two because you have a job (and hopefully a new one!) While he's a lazy sack of shit with too much time on his hands. Rather than improving himself it's easier for him to drag you down. I wouldn't forgive this. I hate pranks anyway but this is just cruel. He can go and live with his brother, see how funny it is then.

What a sad little man. Honestly, it sounds like he’s jealous about your job. You can do much better than this worm 🪱 and he knows it.

I can’t believe he’s saying you’ve ruined the day! Did he really expect you to find it funny? That’s such a juvenile thing to do!

In addition to packing his bags, you probably need to block both their numbers so that they’re not tying up your phone when you’re expecting such an important call. Seriously.

I am appalled that two apparently grown men could behave like this.

So you barely knew him when you got pregnant if you’ve two children already from a 4 year relationship and now he doesn’t work and instead pranks and belittles you. He sounds nasty and I would consider where this relationship is going.

Not a prank it’s plain nasty. Hope you hear good news about the job. Then leave him behind.

And you are NOT married?

He's in a precarious position isn't he? The same as every other SAHP. But he chooses to undermine the wage earner? That is not the behaviour of a happy or pleasant individual.

You must be furous, as well as more anxious than yiu needed to be!

I wish they'd hurry up and tell you have the job... we could celebrate with you

Horrible man, you deserve better.

It isn't juvenile, it is abusive.

I, me, not saying you should, would take his phone and flush it down the toilet...or drop a lump hammer on it.

Imagine the look on his face...priceless.
Nothing wrong with doing it, is there, after all it is only a "prank".

(I would actually prefer to shove the phone right up his arse but that's a bit extreme, even for me, and rather difficult to accomplish in reality)

He is nasty person and you should really consider telling him to sling his hook if he thinks this is funny.

So, he knows you are anxious enough you've already had a panic attack? He tries to goad you into another JUST as you are waiting to hear about a new job (thus blocking your line) involving a 2nd person in this 'fun' (for him, not you!)? AND then he blames you too?

I hope you get the job.
He's spiteful and immature. It will get worse.
If you get the job he will be a shit about it.
If you don't he will run you down.
I'd dump him (and I've put up with real creeps before)

What a vile specimen he is. I'd not only be looking for a new job, but looking for a new partner too.

He's a complete pig, and so's his brother. I can see that it might be difficult to justify leaving him when you have 2 kids for this one incident. But I imagine that this is one of many unpleasant events where he has put you down and used your anxiety to be horrible to you. I wonder, has your anxiety got worse or better since youve been with him? What's good about him? What do you like about him? Be honest with yourself. Talk to your family and closest friends if you trust them, they will help you. If not not consider Women's Aid organisations. Best of luck 💐

Revenge best served cold. Get the job. Then fake a call to say you are dead.

Not funny. He’s a total prick.

He is so, so wrong.

My very best wishes for the job.

@Iusedtoliveinsanfrancisco 😆😆😆

Maybe you could prank him op.

Could a friend of yours ringand say 'hello, is that Mr OP? This is Mrs Smith from smith and co divorce solicitors, your wife has instructed us to commence divorce proceedings due to your unreasonable behaviour'

Hope you get the job @afternoonnapqueen - either way I'd be losing the husband.
