Just blew up at DP

[ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

5 hours of my life invested in a tv series.

Major cliff hanger!

Literally the suspense music is on. Someone’s about to be shot in the head. Big drama moment.

DP sitting there decides this is the moment to tell me about the City of London and how much gold is there and how much trade goes through London.

I say dont care. Please. Not now

Keeps on! I say shuttttt up!

A bang goes off. Screen cuts away. Subtitles roll. About a millisecond passes before ‘the Bank of England blah blah blah’.

I am like SERIOUSLY! You have all flipping day and night to talk to me and you chose now! Fucking now. When I told you I don’t care. And you are continuing on.

Honestly I was harsh but wtf. But I just feel it’s absolutely no respect! I am fuming. He’s now stormed to bed.

Thank you for listening 😭

What was his excuse for being such a dickhead

It was dick headish! But I can guarantee you he thinks I am the one being a dick.

Well if it helps I am on your side, that would piss me right off

That does help thank you. Hopefully he’s not in a grudge fest tomorrow 🤦‍♀️

Lol - something similar happened to me with the last season of Slow Horses which DH watched before me. No spoilers but there’s sight of something at the very end of the last episode, as in the last 30 seconds. Gary Oldman, who DH KNOWS I think is beyond amazing in this - just marvelously doing his thing. Camera pans across his office, gentle music playing, his feet up on the desk, polishing his shoes or whatever musing over all that’s gone on this season, camera continues to pan and it takes a second for the viewer to register what they’ve just seen. The LITERAL SECOND the camera shows the thing he goes “did you see it?? Did you?? That was the whole point of the whole thing - isn’t it awesome??”

WELL I MIGHT HAVE HAD YOU NOT BLOODY JUMPED DOWN MY THROAT TO TELL ME!! I would have come to the incredible realisation myself - it takes a second - and I would have had that goosebumps moment. But no, he had to tell me and spoil it all 🤦🏼‍♀️.

So. Annoying.

But why is he suddenly talking about the City and gold? Did it have some relevance to the tv series?

I used to be the same with Holby. Every Tues eve 8-9. Regardless of when we had kids or not. If he came in from work at 8:30 always sorry speak to you at 9. It took years of training. We are now divorced and I am luxuriating in the Holby reruns. #bliss

INFURIATING!!!

Absolutely no relevance. Just blurting what he’s reading online at the time 🫠

Well that escalated unexpectedly 😳
Glad you're watching HC in peace now tho.

Same here. Seems like DP only talks to me if I’m engrossed in something on the tv. He then tells me not to pause it and carry on watching! 🤣

He did it to dd and I yesterday. We were on the last episode of a 5 part series. Had to watch it as it was leaving Netflix. He came and sat down (having watched none of it) and starts asking inane questions. It was so bloody infuriating. Yet of course he spends dinner glued to his phone. Grrrrr!

Thankfully I had one episode left! Just finished it. Incredible ending.

If it had been the last episode then it might have been divorce territory 😭

Please you are enjoying your peace!

EXACTLY! That’s the most annoying part. It’s like if you were like this all the time then fine.

But not when you’re silent through the thousands of other appropriate moments!!!

OMG men. Bless their hearts and dig a hole in the garden 🤪

Was it Betrayal @ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ?

Streamversea and re-watch

No it was Lead Children on Netflix

Really incredible watch. Frustrating and anger inducing too. As much about the soviet socialist life than the science discovery. Recommend

This is why pillows were invented!!

as it's in Netflix why didn't you just pause it, either while be blathered on or while you told him to STFU??

Why!?!? Because it was a big moment, I would have to find the channel changer then he would just continue and ruin it anyway.

He woke up this morning and said… sooo are you going to apologise

NO I BLOODY AM NOT 😂

Honestly do not know what is wrong with these men

How much gold and trade?

I can’t ever imagine being a hooked on a TV Programme, that I would speak to my spouse in such a horrible way.

It’s just TV .. you can pause it, rewind it, watch it again.

Someone needs to tag the poster who was asking for reasons why being single is good.

Do You need a hand to dig the hole?

you used your pillow right?

'find the channel changer' (remote!!) does not compute. Mine lives right next to me. I'm often rewinding, pausing etc it's the joy of modern tv. I definitely would have paused & asked him which parts of 'I'm not interested' & 'STFU' does he not understand?

but if I hadn't used my pillow last night I definitely would have this morning after he asked that!

I hope you at least asked him WTF he was on about as it was him that owed you an apology!

I'd be plotting like-for-like revenge 😉
This is one of those situations where two wrongs actually DO make a right 📺

What are we using the pillow for?!

To shield our ears or smother him with? 😂

It’s one of those, ‘oblivious to other people’s internal life’ moments. I think some of us have learned to read body language in babies, angry adults, threats, and so automatically read the room and behave accordingly. We look for the moment the other person is going to be receptive rather than assuming the world moves around us.

Other people men haven’t!
