To want a bit of praise?

Got a promotion today. Really tough, four stage interview process. The whole thing was quite intense. I got the job and I'm very happy. DH has not really said much about it. He knew how much it meant to me. How much effort I've put in. It's a lot more money, more than DH earns. Is this why he hasn't acknowledged it much? AIBU to want it to be a bigger deal? Should he be more enthusiastic about it? I'm sure I would be if it was him. Or am I being precious and need to get over myself?

Well done you!

( he is just jealous )..🤣😎👍

Very well done!

Sorry your DH isn't being more enthusiastic about it, he should be.

Thanks both!!
The more I think about it, I think there's something not right. I mean if it was the other way around, I'd be over the moon. Both for him but also for the family in general. More money is a massive bonus right now. Is this a male thing? He's normally been supportive. I just don't get it. We should be a team but I also think I'm reading too much into it!

It could be an insecurity thing on his part, but like you say, you’re a team. He should be more enthusiastic and be cheering you on. Maybe he will once he’s got over it!

Bloody well done you! 👏

Well he is being an arse, congratulations OP.
( my DH earns more than me and we both congratulate each other)

Bollocks to him. Woooooooo hoooooooo to you. You star. Don't let him take your warm glow. You did it!

DH and I have swapped who earns better over the years. He's always happy.

You're not being unreasonable, but he's your husband; just tell him he's hurt your feelings by not being more enthusiastic about the promotion.

Well done OP, congratulations on a great achievement.

DH sounds like he is insecure about it for some reason, why do you think that could be? Communicate about it.

Good luck in your new job.

Talk to him about it.
