To say DH was rude!

DD is a teenager, she was hanging out in mine and Days room chatting to me. She does get very repetitive and likes to talk about ADHD quite a lot and often repeats the same story. It’s fine to me I just go with what she likes to talk about.

DH just put his headphones in. DD felt unwelcome and left the room.

was DH rude?

Yes he was rude he could have excused himself politely if she was just talking to you

Why tf should he excuse himself from his own bedroom?

You would think so but my children wander in and out to the degree I announce when im getting dressed or undressed (tbh they have started doing this too) its like they understand the need for privacy but cant connect the dots

Mine don’t. They can come in if the door is wide open but if it’s closed or just to then they knock.

I don't see it was rude but I can understand why your DD felt it was, if she is neurodiverse herself.
Maybe to her, she was talking to you both? I know that we can do this without letting people know that we're talking to all; I do it to my DP and he'll say "are you talking to me?"
I even played a game with him without him knowing. He found out when I let out a dopamine, "yes!" He said, "did I just lose a game I didn't know I was playing?" I said yes!😆😁
Maybe she had the scenario in her head...
