To be annoyed at DH for walking out the room

I met up with a friend today, had lots to tell dh as it was about previous things she had spoken about with us together but today was just me that saw her so i wanted to fill him in.

When i first got back he didn't ask how it went. Or anything about it so i was annoyed but i guess thats a man thing 🙄

Anyway just now i was really in the mood to talk about it so i started, then mid sentence he walks off to get a drink, but awkwardly stands near me as if to say im waiting until you've finished.

So i literally finished my sentence i was no where near finished telling him (also only been speaking couple of minutes)

Aibu that this was so rude? Really makes me feel like he doesnt give a shit!

Even if he didnt care about it, where is the basic level of conversational politeness ?

Aibu?

I think it depends. Is it a friend of yours only, or of both of you as a couple? Is he particularly close to them? If it was my friend only, I wouldn't bother telling DH the ins and outs of our conversation and I don't imagine he'd be terribly interested.

But basic level of conversation politeness also surely covers not talking at someone who isn’t interested?

YABU. A normal conversation would have involved you saying go and grab your drink I'll carry on in a minute.

You’re being a bit intense! Maybe he wasn’t in the mood for a big chat about it just now, doesn’t mean he won’t another time. Really nothing worth getting wound up about. I would’ve just said “you seem like you’re not listening, shall I tell you about this later?” Unless there’s any real urgency to it then what’s the big deal?

YABU. He obviously realised he was in for a long one. He decided to get a drink and politely waited for you to draw breathe before going to get it.

you say you were in the mood to talk but it doesn’t sound like you considered if he was in the mood to listen

He didn't ask how it went so you are annoyed? I say this with kindness - he probably doesn't give a fook about your mates and their drama. Leave him be

Doesn't give a shit about what?

You? You are being ridiculous, you can't base his feelings for you on this conversation.

Your friend? He probably doesn't, I don't blame him. Nobody wants that level of detail about 2 people meeting up.
