Long story short, DH and I were having a chat on the upstairs landing. I’m up way later than planned because DH and I were at a work event and he was keen to stay longer. Anyway, he was chatting to me whilst I was getting organised to go to bed. He was filling me in on loads of stuff and during him talking, I needed to open the kids bedroom door to grab something from the chest of drawers in my girls room. I was listening and conversing, however, the chest of drawers is just in the bedroom as you open the door. I opened the door and popped my finger to my lips to signal shhhh which was just so he would whisper. Yes, it might be rude to gesture shhhh, but I didn’t want to interrupt him but also really need to get to bed. As soon as I did this, DH got angry and stormed off downstairs. I followed him, asking him if he was genuinely cross with me. Explaining that I wasn’t going into the room, just grabbing something from the unit in the doorway. He is genuinely really upset with me. I just feel like his reaction is so extreme. I was opening the kids door which was obviously why I was reminding him to keep his voice quiet. Also, he’s had a few drinks this evening so is louder than usual. Also, by this point, I’ve been listening to him talk for a substantial time but really do need some sleep as I get up very early in the mornings for work.
Should I be grovelling? Have I been completely out of order? Thanks.
