Husband just reflected sunlight in my eyes

For a joke, husband just reflected sunlight into my eyes from his watch. I asked him to stop singing a very repetitive and annoying song (repested with whistling, humming and singing for the last 10 minutes). His response was to shine the light from a perfect sun - no clouds, fully round, very bright sun - into my face.

Well, i lost it. I had to explain why it was dangerous. He replied that people had been doing it for 1000s of years. I just had no sense of humour.

So depressed that I am married to such a stupid arse.

Tbh I couldn't get too mad about this..

MyMagicStars · 27/07/2022 19:58

He’s coming across as dim across the board here.

People with a good sense of humour know when something is not funny. Your DH clearly has a very poor one.

PuffinMcStuffin · 27/07/2022 19:59

Dangerous? Were you flying a plane at the time?

WinterMusings · 27/07/2022 20:01

He's an idiot. How do you tolerate living with a man that acts like a 10yo?

TheYearOfSmallThings · 27/07/2022 20:01

Yes, I'm intrigued by the danger bit?

He does sound annoying though.

CalishataFolkart · 27/07/2022 20:02

“Fully round” Yep, wouldn’t have been as bad if it was a waning sun.

SD1978 · 27/07/2022 20:02

He was being an arse, both with the singing if it was just to annoy you, and the watch, but you also have responded quite overdrammatically over it too

hesttreat · 27/07/2022 20:03

Where you landing the helicopter at the time?

arethereanyleftatall · 27/07/2022 20:04

If you don't like each other at all, which is the implication from your post, why are you still together?

Whatalovelydaffodil · 27/07/2022 20:05

Yes that does sound annoying.

Hotenoughtoburnasausage · 27/07/2022 20:09

Next time you see him naked laugh at his penis and ask if he has no sense of humour as it was only a joke..

Staynow · 27/07/2022 20:13

You don't seem to like him so I'm wondering why you're still with him? It sounds pretty miserable for both of you.

Coffeeenema · 27/07/2022 20:52

Ugh men can be so childish at times....

My OH likes to sing to every single song that comes on, even if he doesn't know the song! drives me insane.

Pretty big assumption....some of the closest people to us can annoy us the most!

Doesn't mean we don't love em.

Hence the term "can't live with them can't live without them."

Azandme · 27/07/2022 20:57

Irritating? Yes.

To this level of drama? No.

EmmaC78 · 27/07/2022 20:57

Annoying but not really worth losing it about really.

MrsTerryPratchett · 27/07/2022 20:58

This is how women get the ick. Just a bloke being a bit of a twat.

Discovereads · 27/07/2022 20:59

Dangerous? Are you a vampire?

Badgirlriri · 27/07/2022 21:00

How dramatic!

jesusmaryjosephandtheweedonkey · 27/07/2022 21:06

Was you driving or flying?
If not. Once you have regained your sight.
Look for the grip on life you have lost !🙄

Notimeforaname · 27/07/2022 21:07

I couldn't get so bothered about something like this. It would be a non issue for me. My partner singing or humming also wouldn't fill me with this level of rage.

You're depressed and think he is stupid. You're not a good match. Leave. Find someone more suited to you who stops singing when you tell them to.

JamSandwich89 · 27/07/2022 21:13

I actually think that's kind of funny 🤷

Ohsugarhoneyicetea · 27/07/2022 21:13

Actually reflected UV light like this is more damaging to your eyes than direct sunlight due to the angle that it hits your eyes. Is your husband a teenager?

Howling 😂😂 @Discovereads

OP you have overreacted which is a particular forte of mine too
