To expect dh to introduce me to someone (female) he is talking to?

mosschops30 · 17/03/2008 18:31

Me and dh went out saturday when this girl he works with (i only know her from her facebook pic theyre friends on there) comes bounding over with a couple of other people from his work whom I know.
He spent a short amount of time speaking to her, and the others but never once introduced us.

I didnt think about it at the time, but last night in bed I was lying there thinking how rude/weird it is.

So I asked him about it today and he has flown off the handle screaming that I'm looking for something thats not there, he only spoke to her for a minute so why would he introduce me, and it didnt bother me saturday so why is it bothering me now?

Opinions please?

Well excuse me!!!!!!!!

Mr Mosschops Here...

Actual events... walking in town and bumpimg into a small group of work colleagues and saying hello for not longer than 30 seconds in the pouring rain before moving on is now seen as a prelude to a sordid affair.
Be serious.- Oh yes all men are pigs and only think about one thing blah blah blah.
So I didnt introduce my wife. I have no female friends and I wonder why???

I am married. There is nothing going on. Good job they havent brought back hanging.

It in no way suggests you are having an affair.

It does, however, suggest quite strongly that you need to brush up on your manners.

I didnt think it was the meeting itself that was the problem more the reaction to the questions about it

mosschops30 · 18/03/2008 19:51

mr mosschops is now sulking on the sofa, in a stinking mood and managing odd syllables when asked questions
he thinks i'm doing this to cause trouble in our already less than perfect marriage

It might bother me, for a second if I had time to think about it, specially if I was already jealous of his other friendships but I can say from experience I wouldn't mention it. If I managed to get through a whole day without it bothering me then there really would be no need to then bring it up later!

Mr Mosschops, does Mrs Mosschops know you are using her log-in?

mosschops30 · 18/03/2008 19:54

that last one was my post, he really is sitting on the sofa

Did you know he was using your log-in?

mosschops30 · 18/03/2008 20:02

yes I wanted him to read the thread because we havent spoken since yesterday and he asked if he could post a reply

omg! well I can kind of understand why he was a bit pissed off, not because of you but because of some of the reponses

Mumcentreplus · 18/03/2008 20:24

...it's the reaction that is most worrying...whats all that about??...be honest whats with the shouting an shit?..lol

sometimes my DH doesn't introduce me...but afterwards he'll say who they are ...usually if they are not important to him he wont introduce us...that simple...but thats usually blokes tbh

Heated · 18/03/2008 20:25

It would irk me, but given the circumstances Mr Mosschops describes, totally forgiveable unless this lapse in manners occurs quite often. Go on, make up.

When DH didn't have the easy, urbane manners he has now I did explain it would be considered rude, not just by me but by the ppl he was talking to, if he didn't introduce me. Because I didn't want it to bother me I did start introducing myself & dh got the message. In fact these days with the dcs in tow now, he's embarrassingly effusive.

In the early days of dating, SIL's hb very bad at this too, but much less so as SIL a vindictive sort and will drop into conversation some embarrassing comment like she's picked up his athletes foot powder, a change of underwear (leaving ppl to speculate)etc before carrying on being her vivacious self.

Not that I'm giving you any ideas here, Mosschops...

colacubes · 18/03/2008 21:17

Mr Mosschops, you are talking crap, she gives you attention and you love it, stop acting like a teenager and grow up. Yes female attention must be wonderful when you are a husband and a father and life feels like one long crappy road, but seriously, mrs mosschops has every right as your missus to question your relationship professional or otherwise, and before you say shes just someone from work, you seem to have alot of knowledge about her love life likes and dislikes, for a fellow workmate!!

Also Mr Mosschops, not one woman on her has said that men are rats etc, infact my dp best friend in the world is a female, so their is no generalisation here, just views based on the facts given.

how are you today, mosschops?
