Getting sick of DH being arsey with me for no reason

14 replies

YoMrWhiteYall · 19/08/2022 18:46

Past couple of months. DH been off with me. He says he isn’t but he’s clearly different. Rolling his eyes at me, one word answers, sarcastic. Not taking a joke, getting arsey and grumpy with me all the time. This is new behaviour. I’m getting to the point where I feel really unwanted at home and feel like just going off and doing my own thing.

He’s obsessed with this stupid fucking computer game and he’s on it constantly. From the minute he gets up he’s straight on it. He’s taken the week off work to fit the new bathroom and yesterday spent all day on the game. I was at work in the morning, came home and sanded the stair bannister and cleaned it ready for painting. The bathroom stuff had arrived and he just shoved it upstairs and played on his hand throughout the day. Didn’t even think to turn the bloody dishwasher on so that stunk when I got home.

Hes acting like I’m a major inconvenience. He insists nothing is wrong and insists he’s no different to how he’s always been.

AibU to just act single until he remembers I exist?

Does he message people through this game?

Sounds like he's become addicted to gaming and you're in the way of the addiction.

Horrible behaviour by your DH.

YoMrWhiteYall · 19/08/2022 18:57

By the way he’s 50, not a young bloke.

he does message people yes.

he’s been playing this game for around 2 years, it’s only the past two months his behaviour has changed.

Wow what a turn on, a 50 year old gamer! I’d get rid

Merlott · 19/08/2022 19:02

I'd be taking the game (device) and hiding it while he slept.

Ridiculous behaviour

Irrational hatred of something you don’t personally like and don’t understand is super attractive too.

That's a bit rude, and ageist. Nothing wrong with 50 y.o people playing video games. Hmm

That said @YoMrWhiteYall your DH does sound like an arse, and like he is obsessed. Do you have kids/kids at home?

As for the changing behaviour... Could he be having an affair? Mens behaviour does change when they've got a bit on the side, and also they will try to start an argument over nothing, to give them an excuse to treat you like shit.

Going through this too . I Can't do anything right . Always on mobile watching videos . Lost interest in the house . Talks over me . Everything I do irritates him . Picks rows over petty things like towels not being folded properly etc . This has been going on for weeks . Don't think it's another woman as he never goes out except for work .

Fireflygal · 19/08/2022 19:19

Sounds like he is treating you with contempt. How long have you been together?

Can you see what he is messaging people?

Same with my DH, he never goes out other than to work.

To be fair, that is a bit of a rubbish game. Maybe you should get rid after all.
