AIBU to think this was really thoughtless?

I’m in the kitchen bending down to unload the dishwasher. Unbeknown to me DH has opened the cupboard above me to get himself a glass and has left the cupboard door open.

I stand up and crack my head on the cupboard door. Very painful and results in a lump.

When I discuss this later with DH he says it’s reasonable to have cupboards open in a kitchen. I have said I think he was thoughtless and selfish because he could see i was below there unloading the dishwasher and I shouldn’t have to go hovering around checking whats above me. He said he just doesn’t think it’s a big deal.

AIBU to think this is not only thoughtless but also says something about how he views me?

I don't understand how anyone can leave a cupboard door open. Your hand is on the handle/knob. Close it.

Does anyone forget to close their front door?

I told DH about this thread - man, does he know me well! - He said if it was me, I'd have taken a screwdriver to every cabinet and taken the bloody doors off.

And he's right.

I do forget to close my front door. And forget to take the keys out. And forget to lock it. And forget to lock the car.

YANBU! My husband leaves cupboard doors open and I’ve lost count of how many times he’s stood up and smacked his head on them. I’ve run out of sympathy to be honest.

That’s not normal for a grown adult, ADHD or not.
How do you keep yourself safe?

It is normal for adhd. I have an app on my phone to lock the car. And a set routine for the house but when I’m stressed it can all fall to an arse very easily.
