Have just called DH from my desk to pre warn him that we have either very low pressure or no water currently due to a burst main in the town.

I have received a raging earful!!!! Including how he hates this town! He was literally born, raised and lived here for 99% of his life!

Am I wrong to not take the blame for this????
God he is a dick!

He sounds like a douche.

Topseyt · 17/05/2021 17:52

Of course you don't take the blame. Tell him to pull his head out of his arse.

WildWestWanda · 17/05/2021 17:52

He sounds like a dick

pepsicolagirl · 17/05/2021 17:53

I would have ended that conversation with the words "feel free to fuck the fuck off elsewhere my love (and NEVER speak to me like that again)"

Is he always such a dick or?

Soubriquet · 17/05/2021 17:53

How bizarre

Is he usually like this?

SixDegrees · 17/05/2021 17:53

How could this possibly be your fault?!?

Yes he’s being a dick.

FloraFauna27 · 17/05/2021 17:53

Take the blame for what? I don’t get it.

timedoesntalwaysheal · 17/05/2021 17:53

I'd be blaming him when he got home. Give him a taste of his medicine!

Moonshine11 · 17/05/2021 17:54

Who pissed on his cornflakes

WorraLiberty · 17/05/2021 17:55

He hasn't blamed you, has he?

Sounds like he's just having a rant.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 17/05/2021 17:55

Um... what did he say to make it sound like he was blaming you? Maybe he's just had a shit day and is fed up of where you live. Suggest a move?

Hopdathelf · 17/05/2021 17:57

What did he actually say that blamed you?

Part of being in a relationship is sometimes venting to one another. If it’s targeted at you then you’re being used as a verbal punchbag which is not fair. But if he was just raging towards you about the town then YAB a bit U.

Lipz · 17/05/2021 17:58

He probably just letting off steam. I wouldn't take it personally, I rant to dh and vice versa, it's just a rant not actually blaming the person on the issue.

Summercocktailsinthesnow · 17/05/2021 18:25

Camels back. He was having a bad day anyway and you just finished it off. Bad timing. He needs to apologise.

MIC2689 · 17/05/2021 18:28

I don't understand? Is he not just pissed off in general about the no water? We get power cuts weekly here and I rage about it to my DH. Obviously he's not to blame for it.

I can’t understand where blame comes into it either.

Same here

And yet so far he's been called a dick and a douche, and the OP advised to tell him to fuck off and pull his head out of his arse.

Nothing to do with owning a penis I suppose...

freakyfridays · 17/05/2021 18:47

where did you take the blame?

His reaction sounds a bit over the top, but everyone gets stressed, but why are you taking it personally?

WildfirePonie · 17/05/2021 18:50

Did he actually say that it's your fault?

SusannahSophia · 17/05/2021 18:52

Don’t shoot the messenger, dear!

rwalker · 17/05/2021 18:57

I was ranting the other day when I got stuck on motorway and 45 min journey took me over 2 and 1/2 hours
Full on fed up of computing everything ,hate driving works van shit.
I was just pissed off . I think we all moan about bad situations .

I don't think I was blaming anyone.

Meowchickameowmeow · 17/05/2021 18:59

Did he actually blame you or is he just ranting about the issue?

NewMatress · 17/05/2021 19:01

I agree with others, where does he blame you?

Why did he need pre warning, at work, about the water pressure? I can't imagine making that call tbh, a text maybe if you must.

KizzyMoo · 17/05/2021 19:11

I voted YABU as doesn't sound like he has blamed you for anything.

Icancelledthecheque · 17/05/2021 19:13

But he hasn’t blamed you Confused

YAB(V)U!
