Ok so I’m wanting just to have a bit of a rant, DH turns around and says “I don’t want to talk about it, its late, it Friday and bla bla
🤬 am I being unreasonable here?!?!

YABU. I wouldn’t want someone ranting at me if I’d had a long tiring week and just wanted to relax.

PitifulPrincess · 05/08/2022 22:55

What were you trying to talk to him about? I think context is needed here

MolliciousIntent · 05/08/2022 22:55

Yup! He's well within his rights not to want to listen to someone ranting away while he's trying to relax.

GoT1904 · 05/08/2022 22:55

Really need context for this OP

Comeagainow · 05/08/2022 22:56

yabu sorry. rant at us instead 😁

ReeseWitherfork · 05/08/2022 22:57

You’re not unreasonable to want to get something off your chest and hope your husband would listen. He’s not unreasonable to tell you he doesn’t want to listen, that’s completely his choice. And that’s where it ends really. You’d be unreasonable not to accept it.

I think so.. When we want to rant we ask the other person if they're in the mood, if not find someone else or wait till they're ready!

FreezyFreezy · 05/08/2022 23:20

Write it down so it's out of your head and then talk about it when he's better able to hear your worries or issues. After work you get tired of thinking and of making decisions.

I agree that context is needed.

My ex used to constantly moan about work & I'd listen & be supportive, but if I ever needed a moan he would say he wasn't interested 🙄 One of the (many) reasons he's an ex. If he's like that then YANBU

AnneLovesGilbert · 05/08/2022 23:27

It is late and it is Friday. Why rant instead of just talking? My ex used to rant about work, a lot. Did my head in.

saltinesandcoffeecups · 05/08/2022 23:30

I’ve done it to my DH, he’s done it to me, and sometimes I’ve shut my own rants down.

honestly by Friday evening I’m tired. I’m tired of other peoples shit and my own shit. We generally give each other about 10 minutes to spew our days out then we move on.

What were you trying to talk to him about? I think context is needed here

It was about company car policy and how it was possibly changing for me and how it would impact how I would travel to the head office. Right now I'm allowed to hire a car but they mentioned a pool car which is fine if it was located near where I live not 3hrs away! Also makes me wonder if they are going to do it intentionally to make me rethink my job there?

We both work long hours and I get it but that was the second time I tried to talk about it. I think it's just my anxiety about loosing my job! I do tend to overthink things! 🙈🤦🏻‍♀️
