To think DH might have at least said well done?

Texted him earlier to say at the meeting I'd had at work I was offered a promotion. He had expected that but I hadn't.

He's come home in a grump, plonked himself in front of the TV and hasn't even said well done

Having a slightly sad celebratory g and t alone

Congratulations OP! Can I be the first to say Well Done. He's a tit. Gin

Aquamarine1029 · 14/07/2021 20:39

I'm sorry, op. That's just really shit of him. I know you weren't expecting a bloody parade, but a cuddle and a "well done" would have been nice. I would be hurt by that, too.

Congratulations on your promotion.

Thisbastardcomputer · 14/07/2021 20:40

Congratulations, get yourself something nice with your salary increase x

UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa · 14/07/2021 20:40

Well done on your promotion. Congratulations! Too bad about grumpy DH. It's not as if you were both up for the same promotion.

gamerchick · 14/07/2021 20:40

Huge congrats Grin

Why is he in a grump though, does he not want you to get promoted?

SummerHouse · 14/07/2021 20:40

Did he not even text back? What an arse. Congratulations op. Well bloody done. You are awesome. Don't forget it.

MrsTerryPratchett · 14/07/2021 20:40

Congratulations you awesome OP you.

Ask him what his issue is tomorrow.

mickeysminnie · 14/07/2021 20:41

That's amazing @Feetupteashot. Well done!!
Don't mind grumpy arse!

Feetupteashot · 14/07/2021 20:41

Thank you all, greatly appreciated and I am cheered up!

I don't know, he's a grumpy person I guess

I am not cooking any supper which, I think we can all agree, is a very mature response.

Why is he grumpy?!

Congratulations that's brilliant news!!

mariomushroom · 14/07/2021 20:42

Congratulations OP! That’s such great news.

Is this out of character for him? Order yourself a lovely takeaway

Cooldryplace · 14/07/2021 20:44

Why is he grumpy? Have you asked after him?

Of course he should have congratulated you, but if my DH had come home upset on a day when there was such good news, I'd be worried not sulking. Unless of course this is usual for him.

FesteringTurd · 14/07/2021 20:44

Did he reply to the text?

He sounds like a complete arsehole Hmm

GNCQ · 14/07/2021 20:44

Huh I'd be miffed.
Is he generally a jealous person?

Bluntness100 · 14/07/2021 20:45

Congrats op! Is he jealous?

Redhotchilis · 14/07/2021 20:46

Congratulations OP, fantastic news for you, well done Flowers.

I agree with PP, get a huge, mouth-watering takeaway for 1.. or better still, get one for 2 and eat it all yourself Grin

georgarina · 14/07/2021 20:48

Congratulations!!

Is the issue that he was expecting one and didn't get one so he's jealous?

Hardly a kind or mature response to ignore you and make you feel shit about it.

Can you have a celebration with friends?

Mrstamborineman · 14/07/2021 20:49

Does he have green eyes ?

Feetupteashot · 14/07/2021 20:58

Doubt he's jealous, he has a decent job

I've complained, we've had a minor barney. However I have the remote now so thats quite good

Not cooking supper? Oh, this promotion has really changed you! Grin
Feetupteashot · 14/07/2021 20:59

I have, he's stressed as the kids were difficult to get to bed. Which has been the case for about 3 years now

OP posts:
JesusInTheCabbageVan · 14/07/2021 21:00

Order a takeaway just for yourself Grin

Mansplainee · 14/07/2021 21:01

Congratulations on your promotion OP, well done. He sounds like an arse, he should be celebrating with you, even if he’s in a bad mood he’s an adult and can put that to one side.

Are you the breadwinner by any chance, or getting close to overtaking him salary wise? I’m wondering if he’s intimidated by your success and that’s why he’s grumpy.

jelly79 · 14/07/2021 21:02

Absolutely raising a glass and well done to you!

Don't let him take the edge off your glory xx

MotherofTerriers · 14/07/2021 21:02

Well done! Plan a celebration with friends and buy yourself something lovely
