Am I being unreasonable?

I’ve been away for the weekend and when I got home it was like I never went away. My husband has not asked me if I enjoyed my weekend or what we did. I always take an interest and ask when he goes away with his mates. When I said to him don’t you want to know about my trip away, as you haven’t asked, his response was sarcastically I’m sorry that I haven’t asked you about your weekend at a time that’s convenient for you and nothing else. Is it unreasonable to hope that my husband might take an interest in what I do?

Of course not. Does he usually take an interest in your life or is this usual behaviour?

How was your weekend? Tell me!

What a dickhead! Don’t tell him shit. Start building your own life because this guy isn’t someone you should give any of your life to. What a rude and uncaring comment. I can only assume that things overall aren’t rosey.

It sounds as though he is annoyed or jealous that you went away for the weekend and he is deliberately not showing any interest to upset and punish you.
What an unpleasant man.
I hope your weekend went well OP.

Has he got the hump because you went away?

Mylovelygreendress · 13/10/2024 22:21

Did he have to look after the DC ?

Seaoftroubles · 13/10/2024 22:23

What a charmer! Is he usually so rude and dismissive?

I agree. Passive aggressive asshat.

A few guesses:

You should have been more interested in his weekend than in your own.

He feels you should be massively grateful for him ‘letting you go’ or having had to do ‘your jobs’ around the house.

He’s seen some social media pictures of your time away that he doesn’t like.

He’s training you to not go away again by being a prick.

He can see you’re excited/had a good time and he’s the type of person who likes to slap you down and put you in your place.

Look back on other things you do OP. Is he encouraging? Does he give praise about your achievements? Say how good you are at things? Is he excited for you when you’re excited? Does he try to make you happy? Is this part of a pattern? If it is you’ll need you tell him you’ve noticed it and ask why he does it and if he feels he can change. Because I’ve been there with one of these types and they wear you down and suck out all of the joy.

Hope he puts his face straight soon.

Why not tell us the best part of your weekend?

The whole point about being married is that your husband should be your best friend, your biggest supporter and you should always be happy to see each other.

This guy fails on every count.

How rude of him. Does he often act like this?

username3678 · 13/10/2024 23:53

Don't be passive aggressive, you'll both just become more entrenched. Something is up so it might be an idea to have a conversation to see if he's ok.

I'm assuming by your reaction that he would normally ask about your trip and be glad you're back, so obviously something is bothering him.
