AIBU?

I had a very bad meeting at work today. I walked in to DH’s office (we both work from home) and found him working on something not related to work so started to tell him about it. We had a chat and I went back to my office. Hours later he is cold and distant and finally after prodding a bit starts scolding me about how pissed off (the actual expression) he is because I walked in and interrupted his work and showered him with negativity huffing and puffing. This really hurt my feelings and we had a fight. I had a really bad moment at work and all I wanted to was to share it with him. This made me feel rejected and sad, all he had to do was to say “sorry I’m busy could we talk later on?” AIBU?

I’m kind of with your husband, although I don’t see the value in him being “huffy” about it. He should just explain and move on.

I hate the way that when WFH it’s treated like I’m not actually at work.

DH wouldn’t just walk into my firm’s offices and start sounding off at me; no idea why being at home makes that OK.

Appreciate this is just my view, I’m sure many disagree.

I don't interrupt my DH if he's working from home. It might have been better to have waited until he came out of his office to take a break, then have a chat with him. It's not really fair of him to be cold and distant with you, he should have said at the time that he was busy and can chat to you later. Both of you could have communicated better really.
