Does it annoy you when DH ignores your messages but replies to others?

Or AIBU. I text him an hour ago - he hasn’t replied. But he’s on W’app presumably replying to other people.

YABU - it wouldn’t bother you, I’m being over sensitive.
YANBU - it’s rude and annoying.

MsRia you are my new favourite poster Grin

So based on the responses I’ve decided that I am being unreasonable, however, I’m still irritated so I’m going to ignore all his messages and calls for the rest of the day.. and maybe tomorrow Wink

Oh dear, is this really how you want to live? Nit picking, petty point scoring and sulking? How exactly is this behaviour going to enhance either of your lives?

I would also msg again/or ring and say why are you ignoring the love of your life. Dh calls me that regularly so I wouldn't feel awkward or needy by saying that!

My ex used to ignore my texts and calls all the time whilst also being active on Facebook and WhatsApp. He would always reply/answer phone calls straight away to someone else. I obviously wasn't a priority.

What?

Demanding that your partner replies immediately at all time is the first time of a very abusive relationship. Sounds awful.

Are you bored OP? I feel like if you had something exciting, interesting or important to do this wouldn’t even be on your radar. Sounds like your DH is just busy. Maybe you should try it?

You need to switch it around - he's ignoring you cos he's so comfortable with you he doesn't need to put on the social airs and graces with others.

Well that's my excuse when I ignore my husband. Or what he's written is boring.

VeganVeal · 05/07/2021 13:55

Sounds like he's too busy Whatsapp-ting the girlfriend to reply to you

I am so surprised it took this long for secret girlfriend mention😁
VeganVeal · 05/07/2021 14:08

Yes by the time he's replied we'll the the OP's ducks in a row, got a SHL in place, his belongings on the drive and a LTB Grin

SchrodingersImmigrant · 05/07/2021 14:16

In truth mn fast moving out fashion😁

WantingToWonder · 05/07/2021 15:06

I'm often on WhatsApp for work reasons (could have a 1.5 supervision for example) and although I'll read friends or DP messages I won't respond until after 5pm unless urgent.
