Dh told be to turn hairdryer off now

[Mumof3lads]

So, husband away all week with work. I'm home, 3 kids and dogs, work PT
with a lifelong disease, he gets home I was sounding off explaining my feelings and frustrations. He tells me can I now turn the hairdryer off. Meaning me, my voice, droning on. I've shut up, feelings hurt. Unheard and under appreciated.

[Isthisexpected]

no it’s not particularly nice. Is it worth a MN post?

^ what is worthy of a post on a support forum for mothers?

Sorry OP. I'd be hurt too. If this isn't typical I would try to come back to the original conversation another time as well as ask him what's going on for him that he behaved so rudely to you.

[DazedConfusedDone]

He doesn't want to hear about it in case he's asked to do something to help or make adjustments to his life at all!

Oh that’s mean… that language reminds me of Goffman’s four horseman of the apocalypse- in particular contempt. He wants to be dismissive, put you down, mock you and just plain make you feel like crap. Sometimes my husband comes home from work, and I’ve had a rotten day with the kids and I just can’t help blurting it all out (it’s cathartic!) and I can tell he’s thinking “I haven’t even got my jacket off!” But he listens and he understands. It’s a choice to show someone you care - or not. Hopefully I show him the same. It’s sad your husband didn’t do this for you and it seems that’s been going on for a while from your subsequent posts. Sorry to hear that, that’s not nice…

Thank you. He just simply doesn't care nor can handle my inabilty to cope these days. I was always the one too shoulder everything and I simply can't anymore.

Lorry driver by any chance?

It depends how long you were talking for. Any more than 10 minutes of off loading when a partner gets in from work is a bit much really.

Sounds like you have bigger problems though - in fact, your relationship sounds as hard as mine was (before I got a divorce - turns out working away from home allows a man LOTS of opportunities)

[MarshaBradyo]

That is so rude. You sound hurt, understandably

What will you do?

And btw ignore pp saying don’t post, they don’t have to read it and respond

No, far from it. Think more stays in posh hotels, meal out every night etc..

[catandcoffee]

He's tired doing what working ,probably eating in restaurants, getting room service and he's fucking tired !

Tell him you'll swap with him... then he'll know what real work is... he's a bloody dick.

RIPQueen don't respond if you don't appreciate my feelings. I felt it was worthy of some support.

It was rude of him, but it’s also rude to unload on him when he’s just got home from work and is hoping to unwind.

Had he at least had time to get changed and have a cup of tea or a drink?

Honestly, I've left before it leaves me and the children in financial difficulty..so live my life, make sure my children have all they need and stop caring so much.

I agree. Maybe he has maybe he hasn't. I've never had any reason to doubt, he's just an arrogant self centered twat.

His hair would be well and truly fecking dry by the time I finished. Really uncaring, disrespectful and minimising. I would love to know how he would get on doing what you have just done alone and with no support.

[CuriousCatfish]

Did you tell him to fuck off? I would have.

This made me laugh, thank you.

You mean you didn't have his pipe and slippers ready? What kind of wife are you?

Normally yes I would have instead I just went quiet. Sometimes simple words hurt the most.

A shite one lol

[Cakecakecheese]

This isn't just bout the rude comment is it? It's about you not being supported in general. Are you sure you want to live like this? It's very difficult to do all the mental load and get nothing back.

[Snog]

It's hard if poor health is all that keeps you in the marriage.
His behaviour is rude, unsupportive and minimising. A really shit example for his dc.

@Mumof3lads

No been home 6 hours, I'm the time I'd collected the youngest, prepped and cooked tea. Loaded the washer, fed the dogs, showered etc.

Could he have done an of that?

And if so, why didn't he?

I can see why he told you to zip it if this is how you think it’s acceptable to speak to people.

@RIPQueen

Ffs what’s with all this posts about fairly trivial domestic arguments

no it’s not particularly nice. Is it worth a MN post?

there have been so many of these recently

You and the husband would make a good pair. Both making damn sure the OP doesn’t feel heard. Go you.

She’s giving the impression that she’s heard most of the time but rarely listens.
