For not calling DH to congratulate him on Arsenal winning the Premiership?

Hubby is an Arsenal fan, has been as long as Ive known him but doesn't got to many matches. DS1 supports a local team, has a season ticket and is rather more passionate about his team.

This week I worked away and while I wasn't here Arsenal won the league. They didn't win it as a result of a match they were in they won it as a result of another team losing meaning they couldn't be caught.

Hubby has had a proper moan that all his mates messaged him to say congratulations and I didn't even ring. Im a bit miffed because if there had been an Arsenal game on that determined it id have kept track of the score.

He works as a Driving Instructor and every single time he has a student pass I text or call. I am always supportive of the things he achieves personally.

If he was at the level of supporting DH1 is I'd understand his annoyance. AIBU to think its a bit much?

Why would he need to be congratulated? Did he play?

Does he work for the Arsenal team in anyway? No, then why do you need to congratulate him for something his support has had no bearing on at all. Sounds like a complete manchild who wants the glory now they’ve actually managed to win something. Tell him to grow up.

I'd send an email congratulating the team and then tell him you congratulated the people who actually won it.

'Important moment in his life......'

Exactly my point. No understanding whatsoever about how important football is and its role and meaning in community.
