Would you find this odd?

In a recent trip to the supermarket by dh and me, we'd finished the bag packing. I was trying to find on my phone if an item they'd not stocked was available in their online shop. Looked up to say something to dh and he'd disappeared. Stood there like a lemon for 10 minutes wondering where he'd gone. Looked down the shop aisles, around other tills.

Turns out he'd disappeared to put the shopping in the car. He'd just gone without saying something like 'I'm just popping these in the boot'.

Is that slightly off? I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have just disappeared from his mates/family in the same situation. without the courtesy of saying where he was going. He can't see anything wrong with what he's done. I think it's a tad disrespectful.

You lost me at “disrespectful”

Personally I think it was very ignorant and bad mannered.

It would have taken him a matter time f seconds to have told you what he was doing.

I bet you felt like a right lemon looking everywhere for him.

It would have taken OP a matter of seconds to tell her DH to hang on moment, she's just looking something up, instead of rudely not telling him what she was doing, blanking him & communing with her phone instead.

I bet he felt like a right lemon waiting for her to finally show up.

Disrespectful? Why is it disrespectful? That seems like a really odd reaction to think that!

I said as I was looking at the phone what I was doing and was scrolling down trying to find the item we'd both wanted to buy. I was just about to say I couldn't find it there either when I looked up and he'd disappeared. My first thought was that he must have re-entered the aisles to have another look, hence me looking there.

I think it was just me he'd do it to, though, which is probs the larger issue that's bugging me. Pretty sure it wouldn't have happened like this if I'd been his mate/mother/sister

You stood at the till to look at your phone? And assumed he toothed trolley with all the bags back into the shop? Confused

*took the trolley, obviously

I would be annoyed if you were blocking the till area looking at your phone, if your husband was there blocking the area that’s even more of a pain in the arse.

You’d finished in the shop and he went to the car, this is logical to me, you aren’t a small child that needs supervision.
