DH didn't shout me that football had restarted?

DH doesn't have an interest in football but I always watch the world cup.

Obviously just went into extra time and he asks me to make him a cup of tea.

I'm in kitchen doing some bits, I don't watch fb often so I thought there would be quite a break before it restarted.

Getting milk out and hear DH shout 'get in there lad' and run into living room to see game has been on a couple of mins and England have scored.

AIBU to be really fucking annoyed that i missed it because he didn't let me know it had come back on.

He said he was 'hardly watching it' WTF does that even mean? I heard him celebrate.

Serious question - why not? Do they literally go straight into it?

Yeah pretty much

PyongyangKipperbang · 12/07/2026 01:20

@Ondeverge Did he actually say "I want a cup of tea, please make me one" and you did it?

Because the only answer to that is "No, you know where the kettle is".

He asked you to make him a cup of tea?!

Stepsisterfromhell · 12/07/2026 01:32

Honestly I was so stressed out, I figured the only way England was going to score again was if I went and got into my PJs at full time. It worked! I’m glad to take the credit :)

VanGoghsSunflower · 12/07/2026 01:33

I’m in Canada and the same thing happened to me! I was putting away some groceries DH brought home, then went back to watch. He didn’t even update me that England scored ….I noticed the score myself. Ok we’re neither English nor Norwegian but at least make some sort of acknowledgment for crying out loud. I was so annoyed.

OP, football superstition means that you have to go & make a cuppa if we’re in a similar dicey position in the semi final 😉

Contact women's aid for advice.

But seriously, why are people so up in arms that someone has made their spouse a cup of tea? Does no-one else here ever ask their DH for a cup of tea/coffee/a packet of crisps/a G&T/an ice lolly? (These are all the things that DH and I asked each other for during the last 2-3 hours!)

Also, yes - this! The pressure's on you, @Ondeverge!

Remaker · 12/07/2026 01:44

I went into the kitchen on purpose to try to magic an England goal. We’re not sure if it was that or DH’s lucky mug that sealed it for them.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 12/07/2026 01:48

When they scored I was also the only one watching. DD had asked me to tell her but I’d forgotten and DH was in the bathroom

We regularly make eachother tea / coffee. I would say arguably DH makes me more than I make him and he doesn't even drink tea 😂

I think though if I was engrossed in the world cup and DH had no interest then he'd be the one doing the tea at that crucial point of the game!

How drunk / old are you ?

why are you making tea if w… lost interest

Why do you suspect drunk/old? Massive presumption here!

Why do you have to make him tea?

Why not. Perhaps she offered.

kkloo · 12/07/2026 02:23

It means what it says, he probably wasn't paying attention, noticed the cheers and then celebrated.

LivingTheDreamish · 12/07/2026 02:31

Well I'd be annoyed, but I wouldn't be THAT annoyed. Make sure he knows to call you back next time, or better yet make his own cup of tea.

Weirdwonderfully · 12/07/2026 07:14

MrsTerryPratchett · 12/07/2026 00:35

He’s a grown adult and can make tea.

That also but it’s not his fault she was taking longer than needed to make that tea

UniquePinkSwan · 12/07/2026 07:42

DH always makes my tea. Especially during the football. I’m the football fan. Maybe he should divorce me?

MrsPapillon · 12/07/2026 17:20

Whereareyourclothes · 12/07/2026 01:05

Is he psychic? Both our goals came out of nowhere, how exactly should he have known to call you down sooner?

You what? Because extra time had, unbeknownst to me, just kicked off. I’d have expected him to shout “Quick, it’s kicking off. Get back down here!” As it was, the goal was scored three minutes after extra time kicked off.

Liverpool52 · 12/07/2026 19:45

Sat in his arse on the sofa? Why couldn't he make his own tea?

HeddaGarbled · 12/07/2026 19:57

2026 and men are still asking women to make them cups of tea and WOMEN WHO ACTUALLY DO IT.

itsme189 · 12/07/2026 19:57

I’m so confused if me and my husband are watching something and the other is missing soem we’d both shout “it’s back on babe” this would have pissed me off

Backpain2026 · 12/07/2026 20:13

This is entirely on you, you got distracted and then didn't return in time.

Anyone who knows anything about football knows that extra time starts just after main time, without a big break.

If you were bothered then just say no to making him a cuppa, and certainly don't get distracted doing other things

intrepidpanda · 12/07/2026 20:28

Surely you know its about to come back on and stop faffing about the kitchen.

I ask my husband to make me drinks and he does it. Is that outrageous too?
