Husband doesn’t like me reading

[JEM61]

Hey all,

So quick one. I want to know if I’m being a total d1ck here. I love to read in bed, my husband sits in bed on his phone and I like to read. However, he gets really sulky and makes a big deal out of it if I read a book in bed. He’s said it’s a tactic I use to ignore him and divide us (!). He’s fine for me to be on my phone and scroll through nothingness, but to pick up a book and read I usually end up apologising for. Anyone else or just me?

What the fuck?
He's a knob.

Leave him. But also get a kindle app on your phone or see if your library does borrow box and then you can read on your phone”

No. Reading on a phone screen is awful. Nothing beats an actual book

you're sharing a bed with a whiney philistine

and that is not sexy.

My ex was the same. Big dramatic announcements to the dc to not bother talking to me because I was READING A BOOK... Utter cunt at best.
He has been dead a year and tbh the best karma ever was he died alone....

why would she want to read a book on her phone?

Get kindle on your phone?
I don't let anyone tell me what to do.

I agree re liking being single. I bern struggling whth it since death of partner, but here is a beacon of light

I would take up another bedtime hobby. Knitting perhaps, with giant knitting needles( click click click, sorry dear, did I poke you) or embroidery ( be careful dear, I just dropped my needle) or blogging on your iPad, (nearly finished dear, just letting my followers know what a dickhead you are). In a couple of weeks he will be begging you to go back to silent reading.

Perhaps that separate bedroom could also be in a separate house.

😂😂😂

Tell him to piss right off

😂😂😂

Same

Fully behind this

I was going to add something more but I think this fully encapsulates my feelings!

He's an ignorant cunt, and controlling - dump, dump, dump.

What do people think is behind this totally unreasonable behaviour around someone reading?

I wonder if it's almost similar to xenophobia or racism - something like hatred based on fear of ... what though? Feeling stupid because someone is READING A BOOK?

Maybe tell him you don't like him breathing? Could he either stop doing it altogether or, if he insists on persisting, find somewhere else to do it?

You should buy him a book: "How to stop being a controlling bellend"

Reading a book or reading a phone no different unless your keeping him awake he's on some controlling shitty pathway.

WOW - he is a total controlling arse! LTB and enjoy your kindle!

Why the hell are you apologising ? Tell the man child to grow up.

I have a similar thing with phones- my H wakes every morning and scrolls his phone sat up for at least 30 minutes and yet if I ever do it (rare) and he's not yet awake as such he makes a massive fuss . Some Men seem very fond of criticising behaviour in others that is fine if it's them doing it.

Seriously...I adore reading hubby likes to chill watching weird videos on his phone. That's exactly what we do every night then one of us will say after a while sleep time and we cuddle up and off to sleep we go. I couldn't be doing with a control man

He sounds unhinged.
