Saying hello and goodbye

DH does this irritating thing and it is doing my fucking head in.

Yesterday he went to the barbers. Before leaving he said 'I think I'll go to the barbers'. Twenty minutes later, I went upstairs and I was surprised to see he had left. Later he said 'but I said goodbye'.

When he enters a room of people, he will walk in, everyone will notice someone new has entered the room, but he will not say 'hello'. It makes the room awkward and someone else will have to say hello to him first.
If he is leaving the house he does not say goodbye. He will just leave.
If he is entering the house he does not say hi, I'm home - or something along the lines of this.

I'm heavily pregnant. What if something had happened and I was completely unaware he's not even in the house?

Other times he just leaves. AIBU?

I think we're married to the same person! I've pulled up my husband on it. I said it was flat out rude!

Is he Irish by any chance? I'm not into this hello thing either. It annoys my husband (who is English). He expects me to come to whatever room he is in and announce my arrival whereas I just come in and go about my life! 😂
My brother is always leaving the house without telling my sister in law. She'll be looking for him and then think oh he must have went to the shop.

I'm with you it's weird and walking into a room and not saying hello would come off as ignorant to me if one of us goes out we will say we are going and when we get back and the other is upstairs or something we will let them know when you have kids it has to be done so they aren't unintentionally left alone
