Why can't men just shut up?

Told my husband to stop speaking to me like an idiot. He carries on. Politely told my husband that I'm really tired and don't want to talk about it anymore. He continues. Attempted to change subject, but no, he still wants to interrogate me on the school corona policy and won't accept my answer if "I don't know". Physically moved my plate from the table to continue eating at the breakfast bar saying that he should respect the fact that he's making me feel stupid and I don't want to talk anymore. He raises his voice and carries on patronising me. Also insults me by telling me how 'public sector' I sound. I told him to stop being rude, to fuck off and now I've gone to bed.anyone else's husband makes you feel stupid and disrespected? I just want to leave the house for the whole weekend to be away from him.

It's not ASD. He's being a tosser. Sounds like my ex DH.

Ugh. My husband can't accept I don't know as an answer either OP.

My hours at work are all over the place and I don't know what's going on. Sent all the relevant emails off to the relevant people but the left hand isn't talking to the right hand.

My husband will ask "what's happening with your hours then", and I'll say I don't know, and he'll say "so how many holidays have you got then" and I'll say again, I don't know, and he'll just keep pushing and pushing and asking the same kinds of questions over and over again when the answer is a very astoundingly obvious I DONT KNOW!

Except my husband wont ask me when we're in a neutral space and I can walk away, he'll come into my workspace, or he'll ask in bed, or when we're out shopping and then when it's clear he's just annoying me, he'll retort with "I don't know why you're acting like that! I'm just asking questions!"

When he does this I do seriously consider running off to an all women's commune.
