I've upset DH

[Charboo]

I've upset my DH tonight and he said what I said was hurtful. It's silly really but I find it babyish how he is acting. I watched the film Dracula love tale and I loved it I told him how romantic it was waiting 400 years to see him wife again just messing about which he replied with I would of given up after a year which I just shrugged off as a joke, but then while I was watching the movie I said I love to be loved like that he has given me the silent treatment and said he wants to be left alone, and I've hurt him by my comment I said I didn't mean anything by it.

Except for sounding like a particularly passive-aggressive five-year-old, nothing at all.

They both sound as immature as each other, with a particularly poor communication style on both sides.

Tbf you are picking a fight over nothing. You made a comment, he made a throwaway joke and now you are taking it as a personal affront and blaming him for not loving you like a fictional character.

I am assuming you have been drinking or are very young.

Are you 15 because you sound childish and babyish. I’m not surprised he’s gone in a huff you basically implied he doesn’t love you enough.

He sounds a bit miserable and childish. He could have taken your initial comment as a way to riff on the romance between you instead of getting in a huff about the idea.

But I can sort of see your DP's point of view when you commented later. I think I would find it a bit tactless if my DH suggested a relationship on TV was preferable to his relationship with me, which does seem to be what you're saying. I understand that it's a fictional story and a scenario that isn't possible, but it's still not a particularly great thing to say to him, especially given he didn't get into the spirit of it with your first comments about it.

Pass him the Maltesers and tell him, "Cheer up, it might never happen!"

Silent treatment - Abusive.

The OP has basically said her DH doesn’t love her enough

How very odd.

As a one off? Don’t be ridiculous.

Isn’t it the other way round- the DH is “upset” that OP wouldn’t wait 400 years for him?
