Husband furious I took the bins out - WWYD?

[Cowshopak]

Bit of a daft one maybe but genuinely curious what others think.

DH has been in a strop since last night because I took the bins out. He was sat on the sofa watching the cricket, bins were literally spilling over, so I just grabbed them on the way out to the shop. Didn’t even think about it.

Anyway he’s now saying I “emasculated” him and “disrespected his role as a husband” (his words, not mine 🙄). Apparently bin duty is his thing and I’ve overstepped??

Told me I made him look useless and he’s now being all cold and sulky. I laughed at first but now he’s gone all moody and dramatic like I’ve committed some massive betrayal.

Is this normal?? I thought this kinda gendered nonsense was dead and buried but he’s proper taking it personally. Anyone else’s OH like this or is mine just being a numpty?

WWYD? Ignore and let him sulk or sit him down and tell him he’s being ridiculous?

Well, he's definitely being rediculous.

Oh my god what a pathetic twat. Emasculated him because you took a bin out😂 is there something else going on because being so cold and petulant about that is one huge overreaction

I don't do sulking. I'd get on with my day and let him get on with it.

I'd then draw up a list of 'masculine' chores such as laundry, meal planning and bathroom.

Is he always that dramatic? I take my bins out my DP has done it like twice in seven years.

Put him in the bin and take that out.

God I WISH DH thought the bins were his job. We both try to sidestep it every Thursday, usually ends up being me.

😂😂😂😂 I could not cope with such moronic behaviour. Jesus Christ.

(It sounds like he’d not been fulfilling his manly duties effectively anyway, by letting the bins get to the over- flowing stage. Tell him to stick that in his pipe and smoke it. 😂)

What!

How on earth do all those poor ickle single women cope?!

Absolutely pathetic. Is he usually such a knob?

This comment summed it up

Not normal at all. When it's full either of us empty it. Are you not aloud to to put the bin out for collection either.

If he's so precious about being the bin monitor maybe he should be less shit at it get better at it

Silly boy he needs to get out more!

Let me guess. His job is to take the bins out and yours is everything else around the house?

He is beyond ridiculous. Emasculated him by taking the bins out 😂. He's very fragile isn't he? Massive ick. I don't know how you can look at him the same way.

I'm afraid I would be totally unable to stop laughing at him. 🤣🤣🤣

Neither DH nor I care who puts the bins out as long as they go. In fact, it's quite often me. I can't picture DH saying he felt emasculated by it. That would be hilarious and he wouldn't live it down. 🤣

Are you sure you aren't married to an overgrown toddler?

Is he normally like this?
It seems like a strange thing for him to be upset about and the sulking sounds like a massive overreaction!
Is he generally hard work?

Are you married to a 5 year old? 😁 Is this an isolated incident or does he behave like a petulant man child in general?

I'd feel nothing but contempt if my DH behaved like that.

He's got some serious sexism issues going on, if he feels emasculated by you doing a standard household task. What a twit. "Disrespecting his role as a husband" is like something from the Handmaid's Tale for goodness sake.

😂😂😂. Yes

I wouldn’t be living with a man like that.

Say “are you still sulking about the bins, Dave? Get a grip!”…..

Is he one of these 'I was GONNA....' types, who sits around waiting until the job is absolutely imperative and then does it as though he's a saint performing a miracle?

The bin was full. You took it out. Job done. Because it needed doing.

I must emasculate my DH every bloody week then.

OP this is a massive ick

Surely this wasn’t the first time you put the bins out?
