Was this an odd thing for dp to do?

Nothing major just something he did yesterday which struck me as odd.

He was home in the morning before work and my friend came to visit, this friend is lovely but enjoys hearing if you've fucked up no matter how big or small Hmm.

Anyway we were chatting about the RW and I mentioned that I was surprised dd's school had not done anything to celebrate it, dp then pipes up that they were having a party and that the teacher had asked him to sign a form that morning because dd was the only one who had not been given permission to attend as I hadn't signed the letter.
I was confused as I hadn't had a letter and he insisted they must have sent one, and gently took the piss out of me in front of friend.

Thought no more of it until schoolrun that afternoon and I apoligised to dd's teacher and she looked at me like I was a loon and told me no letters had been sent out they got parents to sign in the morning as it was a last minute thing.

When he finished work I brought it up and he said he had just been winding me up, but I feel a little bit shit that he was just trying to make me look a bit bad in front of friend.

I'm overreacting possibly it just feels odd.

That's very odd. If he had been telling the truth, then he would have just been acting like a bit of a wally, but making it up is really strange.

Does he 'wind you up' like this a lot?
Nothing wrong with a practial joke or two, but when it leaves you feeling like shit...

He sounds like a bit of a knob if you ask me.

I don't know we are usually ok, we have our moments but most couples do. But TBH we have been very loved up for the past few months everything is going great.
I don't understand how it was meant to wind me up because if I hadn't mentioned it to the teacher I would never have found out he was winding me up. Confused.
It seems such a silly thing to get pissed off about but I do feel a bit annoyed.

Or it's quite possible that he was mistaken, that he knows he was mistaken, but does not have any intention of admitting to it. So he makes up that he was winding you up.

I would look out for other instances where he does this. It might just be a one of but I had an ex who used to look for every opportunity to make me look bad in front of others and would point out my mistakes and when I did something good he would say that HE had done it. It didn't end well.

I'd be saying along the lines of "well, you made me look a right tit, thank you very much, you cock."

ShoutyHamster · 29/04/2011 19:01

Hmm.

You could say:

'That was very odd. Not much of a wind-up, more just odd, and ever so slightly nobbish. Next time, try and be funnier, and a little bit nicer with your jokes, or I will end up thinking of you as a weird and quite silly little man, rather than a clever amusing man'.

FreudianSlipOnACrown · 29/04/2011 19:08

That's really mean. I don't know why a nice person would do that to somebody they love.

UpJacobsCreek · 29/04/2011 19:09

I basically did say that Shouty, just niggling me still a little bit.
Think in this instance he was just been a bit of a prat.
Thanks for all replies.

That is odd and it would really niggle at me too.

Not sure what to suggest shoutyhamster might have it though.

zikes · 29/04/2011 22:08

Is it possible he didn't realise everyone was having to sign and genuinely thought you must have missed a letter?

It just seems so strange a thing to wind you up about. [cconfused]
