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?

Yep!
School holidays are coming up too 🥱

Sorry, but I will add another rant, cannot get over the "husband furious" bit.
My husband, who is 75, thanks me nearly every day, because I took over the grass mowing (I am significantly younger).
Issues. Big ones. 🙄

I think he’s emasculated hisself there!

I knew it would be, they seem to be getting easier and easier to spot. It's like you can smell em!

man hunt mammoth and empty bin. Man now have no balls. woman bad

Didn't happen though did it

Does he have a small penis?

If he didn’t already know he was useless then you taking the bins out would have gone over his head. Because he does know he’s useless though you’ve hit a nerve and he’s embarrassed that he can’t even do a basic task. Instead of processing that like an adult and making some changes he’s decided to behave like a toddler and punish you. That doesn’t sound like a man I’d want much to do with.

You don't say anything, don't so much ignore him either...

There's a look you need to master, just a stare, slight tilt of the head... thoughts of whatever you're thinking at the time should stay under wraps, think away, just don't speak..blinking is permitted.

Hold the look for around 15 seconds then get on with your day.

Tell him you thought he carried the bins out with his hands not his dick

He can come and take mine out if it makes him happy. I am completely on-board with permanently farming this task out to him or anyone else who wants to "man up" and do it for me

I'm very sorry that you are married to such a pathetic twat.

Well... since his role as a husband also appears to include watching the telly, perhaps you'd like to inform him that you were not emasculating or disrepecting him, you were in fact enabling him to perform the important role of watching the cricket.

Tell him to do his manly tasks properly next time, before the bins are overspilling, and all will be well.

I so wish my DP saw bins as his task! But he sees it as mine. Along with everything else!

I thought they were dustbins not bins in the house. Just remind the lazy todger to do it. Like big notice: Empty the bins!
Afaik, it's putting the bins out for the dustbinmen that is a 'man's job', not emptying the kitchen waste bin?
Could tell the silly man his todger won't fall off because OP put the bins out, of course.

Wow sounds like a massive toddler 🙈😂

If he done it in the first place you wouldn't of needed to , tell him to grow up and stop behaving like a child

You’re married to a child

Another non returning op!

Tell him that we're not in the 1950's anymore...

I think I'd make the most of his massive sulk and write him a list of manly chores you need done immediately. Make new list daily. Swoon a little when you see him.
Or if you like the peace and quiet just say bins! And laugh hysterically every time he speaks to you.

I would've laughed too and told him if he wants to gain back self respect and help, then do (whatever other job) it needs doing. What a toddler reaction he had. Is it the only household job he can do or something cos my 4 and 5yr old do more and he reacted that way because it's literally the only thing he can do. Only household job my hubby doesn't/isn't allowed to do is touch my washing 😂😂😂😂. I'm rather possessive about it but that's because he doesn't sort it properly and tries to shove everything in and then everything in the dryer.

The OP posted once and hasn’t been back people! Clearly done just for shits and giggles 🙄

Not that unusual in terms of behaviour but he's lashing out cos he knows he should have done the bins himself. But didn't.

It's smoke and mirrors.

Another prime example of why I remain single
