To wish my husband wouldn't read out my personal letters at work!

Background: Dh and I are posted overseas as he's in the forces and therefore get our mail sent to his work (BFPO).
Anyway he always rings me on my mobile if there is something we need to discuss while he's at work. My mobile has a ridiculously loud speaker which won't turn down so everyone in his office can hear everything i'm saying. There's nothing I can do about this, but he still seems to enjoy saying "shh everyone can hear you" in an embarassed voice as though i'm a loud shouty fishwife! So today he rings me to tell me about a letter I've recieved from the hm revenue and after I tell him i'll look at it when he gets home, he preceeds to read the letter out to me on the phone in front of everyone! and when I say to him that I'll phone them tomorrow he again shusshes me on the phone as though i'm shouting. Then he starts going on about some party i've been invited to and as I'm saying ok in a peed off voice (feeling embarassed at everyone listening to our phone conversation) he starts saying "well you really should go it will do you good, I'll pick you up and take you" (as though i'm 5 ) grrrrrr! bloody men!! {angry} I have a bit of pmt btw...

I take it your DH comes home from work each day? So it's not as if you're otherwise going to have to wait days to find out what's in your post. And why is he opening mail addressed to you? I would skin my DP if he did that. It's mine not his, and I don't open his mail, if he chooses to show me/talk to me about it, that's his choice.

Why cant you wait till hes finished, and I would buy a new phone tbh.

  1. tell him not to open your mail.
  2. put the phone down on him if he does this....

Why do you need to discuss things while he's at work? He should be working!

  1. use a landline
  2. switch off mobile
blah blah blah

Exactly! I really don't get why he phones me at work as it's never for anything that can't wait until he gets home, and I am peed off that he opens my mail all the time! I'm sure it's just because he's bored and hasn't enough to do- in which case he should get a bloody secondary duty!
