We took our baby to the doctors which happened to be next to my husband's work place. After baby got shots he said "let's go introduce baby" "I'm gonna show off baby"
When we walked in he said "this is baby".and didn't didn't introduce me to his boss who he likes and respects.
I've been upset since. Crying a bit. I'm his wife of 12 years mother of his child and he didn't say "this is my wife xx"
Just left standing there with the pram. His boss stepped forward and shook my hand. He noticed the rudeness. My husband didn't
Is it stupid to be upset about this? Not angry. Just sad. It's like I don't exist
I texted him because he is at work . But he hasn't responded yet, because work

He was probably forgetful and only thinking of the baby at the time. Ask him why he didn't introduce you to his boss and ask him if he thinks you are the baby's nanny.
ReplyI told him I wanted to "be treated like a lady, not a nanny". I also mentioned how he didn't open the door for me even though I was pushing the pram and it swung closed on me when we walked in and out. He texted "I'm sorry I'll do better" and so i said a text seems insincere. He said he'd call when out of meeting. I said I'd prefer cheap flowers, a hug and a sorry with acknowledgement when he gets home. He called me five minutes ago and said im sorry. I said for what. He said "I really dropped the ball. I'm so sorry for not introducing you. You're my beautiful wife and I love you you're right I should introduce you to people and I should have held the door. And I will be more courteous in future. I will bring you flowers and if there's none I'll get you Roses because there's flowers in them."
Thanks for your wording about being a nanny. That really drove home the point. Which he got.
All water off a ducks back now.
Cheers
ReplyYour husband is lacking in social awareness. You should be angry. There's nothing wrong with being angry if there is justification for it and there is. Tell him to be respectful of you or there will be consequences for him.
ReplyYou have a right to be upset, but, it's minor, to the point that you should actually mention it to him in casual conversation, meaning don't berate him about since he probably was just being completely absentminded due to his joy in presenting "baby". Figure out a way to mention it so it doesn't sound accusatory. Communication is key in a marriage, and now that your marriage is "baby's" family, communication is a priority to keep a functional, harmonious marriage.
Courtesy notice: the following includes a reference to a book that contains writings over 2000 years old which are mostly parables about human nature, both vile human nature as well as moral human nature, parables that are meant to teach us to learn and grow, including the teachings of Christ Jesus. No religion required, and better yet: no public displays of devotion required, although the former and latter are admirable if practiced freely out of one's own free will and without the threat of being beheaded. Some bullies will label this "trolling", so "change the channel" now if of no interest to you.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
Mark 12:28-31
And Christ Jesus said the 2 greatest commandments are:
Love God first and foremost.
Love your fellow-being as you love yourself.
From following or not following these, all good or evil cascades, respectively.
Love...that powerful, invisible, intangible force that cannot be denied; even atheists live and die by it.
And since death is the only guarantee in life, Mary, Mother of Christ, intercede for us with your prayers, now, and at the hour of our death.
