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 😭

Omg I’m in the car, he’s talking about it again 😂😂😂

I can’t fault his dedication bless him

were u watching lead children? This happened to me as well was so annoyed

Yes! End of episode 5

We need to create a support group! 🤣

You have my condolences 💐

What?!

Don’t crack. DON’T crack.

You should have told him there is not as much gold as he thinks, then get him to google gold rehypothecation. That would have kept him quiet for a good while.

Talking about gold or your apology?

Ask him to apologise first. I bet he bristles when you do 😂

Bloody LOVE Slow Horses! 😁

My partner and my mum both do it. I’m like I don’t care if the world’s on fire right now shut up, so frustrating.

Im glad I live alone.

Dh can't cope with being talked to when he's cooking.
Yet apparently I'm able to switch my attention from a book/ marking when he suddenly starts talking to me about some random shit he's found on tiktok

Could you not have paused for a minute. You overreacted

I still remember losing my shit at my dad who's come home drunk whilst I was watching a pivotal moment in Buffy the vampire slayer .... I screamed cried then stormed upstairs to watch it peace.
Still no regrets 😜

I ask for 4 minutes of peace during the Final Chase on ITV every night jist before the 6pm news but DH absolutely has to tell me all about his day right there and then. Does my head in.
YANBU

My OH does this sometimes but he is worse when I’m reading than with TV. I read a lot and DH doesn’t really get it as he’s not a reader. He’ll chat to me constantly and doesn’t seem put off by my ‘mmm…mm, oh really?’ while pointedly not looking up, or looking up and giving him an annoyed ‘I’m trying to read’ look or completely ignoring him! So I’ve no choice but to tell him I’m trying to concentrate on my book. Then he goes in a huff and calls me antisocial. It’s not like I read constantly all the time we are together. I just want peace for an hour!

Why? So the Man In Charge can have the floor? Fuck that. He could have waited to few minutes to discuss his riveting trivia.

Ffs! This annoys me too. I only watch Corries, but my god can the arseholes in my house just STFU when I’m watching it. I barely get any downtime as I’m at work or come home and sort everything out house related. Just leave me alone for half an hour.

Could he not have paused for a minute? Him wanting to waffle on about the BoE doesn’t override what she was already doing.

is there anything he watches? football? totally disrupt that. When there is a goal in the offing, accidentally change channel...

Can't you pause and rewind?

DH's trick is eating cornflakes in the corner when I'm watching a quiet, tense drama. It's like they introduced a hamster into the scene.

Sounds like you were watching some stressful violent programme of the kind I avoid, so I would have turned it off and politely offered my full attention to DP's droning.

Was it really necessary to speak to your husband like that? You say he disrespected you by talking while a TV show was on. The way you spoke to him (based on your own account) was disrespectful. In your shoes, yes, I would have felt irritated, but I would have pressed the pause button, explained I just really wanted to watch the end of the show and could he tell me when it was finished. Would you have responded like you did in the early days of your relationship? Do you even love him? Yes, you were being unreasonable.

Me and my DH have a few shows we watch alone but if he comes in and I’m watching an episode he would never interrupt me and I would never do that to him unless it’s really important we respect each other enough not to do that and we are both adults your DP sounds like a child attention seeking and him asking you this morning if you were going to apologise wouldn’t have went down well with me you have nothing to apologise for he was being an attention seeking disrespectful prick

I am so glad I have found my people here! 😅

To the wet lettuce women - you do you 🤣 no fucking way was I going to sit there and just stuck it up like some subservient 50s house wife who must immediately put down what I am doing, or even miss the ending and have to rewind! Whatttt. I honestly do not know how some people live. You deserve better than that. Stand up and bloody tell them!!!

And yes I do love him so did feel a bit bad after but that lasted about 10 mins 🤫

If we are to stay together forever then I have realised men require constant training. Lest they slip into a sack of entitled self absorbed blob of incompetence.

Whilst some men are untrainable, plenty of trainable men have been lost forever by enabling wet lettuce women. So I also consider it a public service. Your man’s a prick? Fucking call him out!!!! 🙈 🙏

Could he not have paused for a minute?

OP tried to be polite and her DH ignored her.

I can't ever imagine being so hooked on the current situation vis a vis the City of London gold stock that I would spoil DP's enjoyment of the entertainment of his choice rather than wait 5 minutes to talk to him about it.
