Am I wrong or my partner?

[MM1972]

I came home from work the other day and all the lights were on in the house. I am the main breadwinner and bought the house before we got together.
To paint a picture there were 8 roof lights in the kitchen, 2 extractor fan lights, 7 under counter lights, a light in the porch, 3 lights in the hall, 7 lights in the living room, one in the bathroom, one in the downstairs spare room and one on the landing.
I made a comment about the cost of electricity. I don’t think I went overboard.
The next night I came home the house was in total darkness. TV was off and my partner was sitting on the floor in the living room looking forlorn.
Is this behaviour normal? I’ve not lived with a partner before.

It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetically childish

Unless it was a joke I'd have lost any respect for him

Sorry OP but your post did make me laugh. It’s a very silly and passive aggressive thing to do - is your partner normally quite melodramatic and passive aggressive?

The ‘normal’ response to you mentioning them lighting up the entire house like a christmas tree would have been to say something like they understand and to have a reasonable amount of lighting on in the rooms they are using.

Hopefully he/she was joking, otherwise I'd find that behaviour a bit pathetic from my 12 year old let alone an adult!

Don't marry him whatever you do.

OP said they're the main breadwinner, not that they pay all the bills.

If they make any contribution to the bills they'd be screening themselves over doing that.
