Overreaction? My DH and I both work I finish at 3pm usually I had been texting him all morning then we had an emergency patient come in that took 2 hours so I couldn’t reply to his messages me said I was ignoring him blah blah, I sent him a message when I finished and explained what had happened but his still so shitty I don’t get it I’ve done nothing wrong how do I just ignore it when it’s so hard to not have a go at him and ask what’s his beef?

Why the hell do the two of your text all morning when you're at work being paid to do your jobs? Can neither of you cope without being in constant communication all day long? Is spending time together at home after work not sufficient?

ShabbaDo · 01/08/2019 08:33

Eh? You both need to grow up.
Husband? Really?

funnylittlefloozie · 01/08/2019 08:36

how do I just ignore it when it’s so hard to not have a go at him and ask what’s his beef?

I suggest you do this. Tbh neither of you sound grown up enough to have real jobs. How many "emergency patients" do you see on a paper round?

TequilaMockingbird0 · 01/08/2019 08:50

I'm assuming you're both 14. Otherwise this is insane.

ShirleyPhallus · 01/08/2019 08:51

I’d ask him for a detailed explanation about his beef

upple · 01/08/2019 08:56

Are you genuinely asking for help OP? or just chatting.

NewMe2019 · 01/08/2019 08:57

His beef??? 😂😂😂 Like an adult talks like that

Beezy90 · 01/08/2019 08:58

OK guys thanks for your help! 👍🏽 What a bunch of lovely supportive peoples you are.
I have a flexible job actually where I can Do what I like and my husband is self employed so please don’t just assume we are not old enough to work and that we are 14 how rude!
I was simply asking for some advice as what others would do in this kind of situation. But thanks anyway.

This is ridiculous. Do you work in a dentist practice? Id be sacking you for ridiculous level of personal use of your phone.

ShatnersWig · 01/08/2019 08:59

Others wouldn't have this situation, though, that's the point.

C0untDucku1a · 01/08/2019 09:00

Ok, ask him why he wants to be on constant contact with you while you are working? Because his reaction says it is about controlling and knowing your every movement, and not about friendly chatter.

bobstersmum · 01/08/2019 09:02

You really needed to post on here to ask strangers about this? I agree with the others, it sounds very immature, and you should put your phone away at work!

cheeseislife8 · 01/08/2019 09:04

He needs to calm down. If he understands your job then surely he gets that emergencies are always a priority! My concern would be why he feels he needs to be in constant contact and then have an attitude when it's not possible... has he always been like that?

hellsbellsmelons · 01/08/2019 09:08

Blimey - how long have you been together?
If you text all day, what on earth do you talk about in the evenings?
Is he controlling in other ways?
This is not normal OP.
In this situation, I would tell him to grow the fuck up or fuck off.
And yes, I really would.
I couldn't deal with this at all.

Do you have friends and family you see regularly?
Have they met him?
What do they think of him?

Humanswarm · 01/08/2019 09:10

Wow..what lovely answers. Quite presumptuous..OP, I wonder if he feels insecure for some reason? Sit him down, explain you're upset by his behaviour. Is this unusual? If so, perhaps something else is bothering him? Talking and communicating is your best way forward.

firesong · 01/08/2019 09:10

A lot of people message their partners during working hours, I think some of this surprise is exaggerated Hmm

But yes, your dh must realise that you're not available to message all day when you have patients. Getting shitty about it is pretty weird.

ShatnersWig · 01/08/2019 09:13

A lot of people message their partners during working hours

Occasionally, yes, but ALL MORNING firesong? And I suspect on a regular basis, or he wouldn't have got so shitty.

ShirleyPhallus · 01/08/2019 09:45

Indeed. But not a lot of people crack the shits if their partner doesn’t respond for a few hours cos, y’know, they’re busy at work
