I'm angry because my husband called me a screaming school girl

Hi All,

Background is, there was a mouse in the house and i was trying to catch it. My hubby didn't really want to help but only came when i started calling for his assistance. Now i don't mind touching a mouse or rat but i hate it when they are running around. When he came to "help", he ended up chasing the mouse towards me so i started screaming. He told me off for screaming saying I'm not a "screaming school girl" then walkes off leaving me to catch the mouse for the next 30mins while he watches tv. Am i right to be angry? He thinks I'm childish for being angry.

With your hands 😱!?! Honestly firstly, fucking impressive skills those things are fast. Secondly you dh is a dick. I can’t stand scuttling rodents. I wouldn’t have been calm AT ALL. With me it’s phobia, so I can deal with spiders, snakes, vomit, medical emergency but rats/mice freak me out.

The easiest way to catch a mouse is to put a small box on the floor and chase the mouse into it. I wouldn’t handle one, they’re filthy. Also have a word with your cat. He’s probably bringing them in.

Lol there was that too! He made me clear a dead rat earlier in the day from the garden too!

He made you?

Rats, mice and snakes - where do you live? The jungle?

I don't think that you have been unreasonable to expect some support from him. I would feel disappointed that he didn't want to help, it's quite unkind of him. It's the little things that are quite telling about the state of a relationship or how someone views you.

People are missing the point I think. Surely in a decent relationship this sort of thing is a joint enterprise. Also however calm you try to be, there's always some excitement and hunt about it with higher emotions.
I think you have every right to be very pissed off with him. Why is it your job?
