Sitting with DH chatting, and he casually mentioned that I just got my nails done (I did, just yesterday which I told him about). Thinking he’s going to say they’re nice or something…. No he asks how much they cost, I said £25 and that I paid for it out of my money from my account.
He then said I’m always getting my nails done. I pointed out I go every 4-6 weeks or so, that I didn’t think that was excessive (it’s one of the few treats I have and can often be really difficult to arrange between working full time in a senior role and looking after two kids).
He then said I go every week. I stated that I don’t. He goes onto say, “well you tell me that you’re going out to get your nails done every week - if you’re not, where are you going…?”
I didn’t know what to say. I don’t get my nails done every week, I don’t go out on a weekly basis and use that as an excuse. So I tried to explain that, and point out maybe he thinks the last time I went was sooner than it actually was (it was 9th November btw, and was only shorter this time as one of my nails had broke).
He insisted that I did last week. I have no recollection or understanding of what he’s talking about. I showed him my diary and explained each ‘outing’ from going into work (I usually WFH), to taking the kids to soft play and to going to a nursery Xmas event. Each activity I have told him about both before and then discussed after the event.
He just kept insisting he was right and I was wrong. This e scaled into an argument and we are now not talking.
I feel like I’m going mad as he’s so convinced he’s right. I’m also not quite sure what I’m being accused of. But I haven’t lied, I’m not having an affair (and he has no reason to think I am!) and I don’t think I’m being overly indulgent to get my nails done every so often.
