to have ranted at DH via email after changing the ebay / paypal passwords....

DH is notorious for not saying quite what he means and thinking you've understood his exact meaning and for buying things on my ebay account whilst rather unsober - games consoles, motorbikes etc... We have had words in the past as whilst he does pay me for items, it tends to be days if not weeks after the money has gone out of my account, particularly if the item is for a friend who works offshore and won't be back for a month.

Yesterday morning I checked my ebay account to find I was the lucky winner of an Ohlins steering damper for an Aprilia Falco to the tune of £146. This is about the same amount I had put to one side for replacing tyres on my car and for ds birthday party in 2 weeks time.

So, rather than tear into him at the time and get myself worked up before work, I changed the passwords and sent him a very snotty email.

Last night he tells me that he had actually told me all about it the night before and I obviously hadn't listened and he was innocent of all charges. He then admitted that his actual words had been 'I've found what I'm buying myself for my birthday and will be picking it up over the weekend' might not have told the whole story and that he hadn't actually paid for it with paypal (only because I got to the emails first....)

So, AIBU?

Nope

Unreasonable to be pissed off and have a go at him? No.

To have done it in an email? Well, not so much unreasonable, perhaps 'silly' is the word. Why did you choose not to talk to him in person?

Also if I were you I'd make him pay you back double. He's clearly not taking you seriously, not showing you any respect or consideration over this matter, and he's got to learn. He sounds a bit childish, tbh.

I'd have changed the passwords after the fisrt time he did it anyway so no, YANBU.

Would have said it to his face but
a) just about to head out of door to work
b) didn't want to exchange words in front of ds who is teething and clingy
c) talking obviously hadn't got it into his head before

anyhoo all sorted now and thanks for letting me blow off a little steam
