Getting 'told off' by DH anyone else experienced this strange behaviour?

Thanks for your replies. I made an earlier reply but lots of posts seem to have been deleted.
I was being sarcastic when I told DH to make a list

My husband took redundancy as part of Cameron’s austerity programme to demolish upper management structures in local authorities. He was unhappy, hadn’t planned to retire for 5 more years. He enjoyed his role. Within weeks the NHS approached him, offering half time work, doing what he’d been doing in l.a. (Amalgamating social and health care ). So he worked in that 3 years, alongside painting, historical research, walking, looking after granchchildren and developing life for full retirement. Happy days, for which I;ll be eternally grateful given his recent death

He tells you off ..... hmmm. Tell him he is not the boss and you have no intention of listening to this.

Why did you ask him if the gardening tools could go in the shed? Why do you need his permission? Just do it.

OH worked amazingly long hours, nights, week-ends, all his working life. I did wonder how he would react when he retired. I needn't have worried, he is catching up with all the things he never had time to do, music, learning an instrument, learning a couple of languages, playing bridge, photography, and so much more.

Mine did need a little nudge!
But then took to retirement enthusiastically.

My husbands would never have dared to talk to me that way. I was the one 'in charge' and they knew it.

Nothing to be proud of. Nobody should be in charge in a relationship.

DP is a tradesman who works all hours, so gawd knows what he’ll do when he retires, maybe never retire? I think loads of men get grumpy with age according to friends.Loss of control?
Feeling past their sell by date?

Goodness knows, it's all rather odd.

I've been busy today so was only just catching up.

What on earth is going on here?

And that’s exactly the kind of ignorance I’m talking about.

What ignorance?

It is absolutely true.

I am sorry to hear about your mother.

However, there was nothing in the least offensive about Kalu's post.
It was just a query about how your mother came to that conclusion.

Most of us knew our fathers, may have had brothers, uncles, cousins, worked with men all our working lives.

I will freely admit that women can be grumpy too.

Pheew! I had a neighbour, about 30 like me at the time, whose husband used to write her lists of things to do during the day, item by item, cleaning, etc.

Fleurpepper I remember my landlady years ago telling me that her daughter was newly married to a Royal Marine. They were stationed overseas and he used to leave her a list of daily orders each morning before he left for work.
As she was a strong-minded young woman, just like her mother, she ignored them.

Do any of you understand how your throw away comments cause upset to others?
I have not long lost my dear lovely mum and I have objected to KALU’s comments. It’s not funny, it’s not kind and it’s not clever.

Some people have even backed her up with sarcasm and underhanded remarks that I find offensive and immature.
Some of you and you know who you are should be in the play ground.

^One Foot in the Grave was so popular because Victor Meldrew struck a chord with so many^

My Mum always said she couldn't watch it as it was too much like real life!

The DD call DH Victor sometimes 😁

Update: glasses are in the coffee table and no stupidness since I told him he's getting like my father! Btw I was being sarcastic when I told him to write me a list!
