Showed My Office Tantrums to My Husband
Last night, I came home feeling really frustrated after a last-minute meeting at work. I rang the doorbell and saw my husband looking happy because he got a new project thanks to his hard work.
He was telling me how much praise he got at work and how his career is moving forward. But I suddenly lost my patience and shouted .............SHUTUP, I’m not happy right now ................too much frustrated and I don’t want to hear about your achievements. Just leave me alone.
He looked surprised, and I walked away from the room. Since then, it’s been quiet between us................no hugs or support. And I am wondering why?
If he can share his happiness, why can’t I share my frustration? Being partners means understanding each other, no matter what.
Why the silence? Not everyone has a good day every day. Sometimes, you just need someone to ask how you are feeling before talking.

[a digital marketer](username) we know you are one of those from the minute we read your statement. You abused your husband. And yet you came here not because you felt bad . But because you wanted people to say he is a
pu$$y for not able to take more abuse from his wife and girl power, shooting laser from vag and other crap... Sorry to burst your little bubble. What you are doing is the exact opposite of feminism. Go appolagize to him and let him go. He will feel bad for few days and then he will get over it. Atleast he won't get abused anymore for being successful.

I am not married, but you posting the incident here and asking for justification from strangers, rather than talking to your partner about it sums up the situation. You losing your cool is justified, because it was a momentary outburst, but he didn't know how your day was. In my personal opinion, you should talk to him about it, maybe an apology as well. You think how you would have reacted had the situation been opposite!
You both gotta navigate the situation, without letting ego come in between.

[grinningwitcher](username) I see your point and I agree that talking directly to your partner is important. Sharing this here was more about getting an outside perspective not avoiding the conversation. Losing my cool was a momentary reaction, but I also feel that he didn’t check in on how my day was, which mattered a lot to me. When you love someone and live with them long enough you start reading their face and feelings without them having to say a word.

[a digital marketer](username) just giving priority to yourself and saying you also love him is a foolish statement. Explore love more beyond physical, beyond infatuation.
Love is about giving not expecting. The essence of love is seeing your partner happier not shouting on him. Hope you realise it soon.
Otherwise dont say love... Be like wife and tell him to be husband.
If you get even 1% of what I am saying maybe atleast you wiill say sorry.

[greatdaytoday](username) Fair point love definitely goes beyond words and needs actions. But just wondering,
don’t you think love also includes holding space for your partner’s bad days, even if they don’t express it perfectly?
Isn’t part of being in a relationship also about understanding when someone is overwhelmed not just when they’re kind and composed? Curious to hear your thoughts.

[greatdaytoday](username) Absolutely, Love is definitely about holding space for your partner’s bad days, even when they don’t express themselves perfectly. That’s exactly what I’m saying ,since we’re in this for the long term, we should be able to understand each other’s faces and silences. But instead of that understanding, you just want to share your happiness. that's also not fair!

I'm a bachelor but trust me when I say this once I shouted at my mother after finishing 18 hours of shift, instant regret. She didn't said anything to me, just fed me and I went to sleep. When I asked next day she told me something good happened within my family. Again I felt bad, so I made a motto, whenever I felt angry due to work pressure and anyone is sharing something good in their life, listen, forget about your issue, have fun with them. You'll feel good inside.
Now coming to your situation I'm pretty sure though you're married you are not going to apologise to your husband and there will be people to validate such thing.
Just ask this to yourself and also keep the answer only to you, IS YOUR HUSBAND IMPORTANT OR YOUR EGO/SELF RESPECT?
It's a simple thing, you were angry, you went ahead and shout, but what I can feel and trust me when I say this, you just want validation from everyone that you're right and your husband is wrong.
Please do think about it, and before you comment that I don't have a partner and won't understand, I do understand, my mum is everything to me, I fight with my dad even if he says something bad to her. Think about it how bad I felt. I simply apologised to her and told her the reason, she forgave me. Your husband will too if you ask him for it. But at the end it all depends on you and what you think is correct.
Remember you're setting up an example to your husband that when things goes shit it's okay to shout at your partner, so be prepared for it and if you wish to make it a gender fight please go ahead. You won't be happy anyday, anytime in your life.
Also the answer was a simple sorry and telling your side of your, yet here you are and here you will be because you guys don't have enough courage to simply apologise.
Anyways have a great day, great life and hopefully you'll find peace. Bbye ✌️

[tcswaala](username) Yes, I truly agree with what you said, it’s honest and meaningful. But my concern is that when two people have been living together for a long time, they begin to understand each other deeply. We can usually read each other’s moods just by looking at one another’s faces — whether we're upset or happy.
That’s why I feel it’s equally important for those who live together to be sensitive to each other's emotional states, even without words.
And as for saying sorry, do you really think I wouldn’t apologize just because I’m a wife? If that’s what you believe, I honestly feel sorry for your assumption.

Just answer me one question, are you fine if yours husband behaved the same way you did for the same reason. Emotions does not require justification. You may think thousands of time that you guys are with each other for so freakin long that you understand each other. But as soon as some good news is there, people wants to share it with people who are close to them.
You have apologised. Good. But, your husband will not share anything good with you because you can't control your bloddy emotion. Yes you are human, you can have a crash out, yes you were wrong, yes he was wrong, but think about it from his perspective. He simply wanted to share a good news with the most important person in his life and he might wanted to give you a surprise, yet you did the best thing possible for him and before asking people to look at themselves please sort out yourself first because as I said your EGO is something which needed massaging, you were seeking validation that you were right your husband was wrong blah blah blah....... Everyone in this world goes through rough shit, very few are blessed with people who have someone in their life to talk to or to share something. So go ahead write as much as you want but deep inside you know you fked up big time. You just want to throw this responsibility on him so that you can feel good about yourself.
And at the end I would say tough shit, start again, be little mature, else you'll loose something so good that you have for something which is good for nothing. Grow up. Sorry if this offend you, but this is how I've grown.
If you make mistakes, apologise. Remember your company will kick you out in no time but the guy/gal whoever is beside you will be there. Have some common sense, otherwise you're in for a treat. You'll face severe challenges in your life and you'll need someone to console you each time. So all in all, Good freakin luck to your husband. Chao ✌️

[particularclark](username) Thank you for responding and sharing your perspective. But I wonder, why is nobody trying to understand that the person who’s shouting out also has emotions? If his happiness is valid and he can share it freely, then why isn’t my sorrow valid too?
Sometimes I read his face and I think .......Okay, he had a bad day, let me make some good food for him.
So why is it so difficult for some guys to understand that girls have feelings too? And when a girl expresses her emotions loudly, suddenly she is labeled as bad.
All this is GASLIGHTING!
I just wish there was more empathy and understanding from both sides instead of harsh judgments.

[a digital marketer](username) That's why I asked are you comfortable if the same happened with you and you've doged that question 2 times. Ok let me ask if you're been living with this guy for so long, are you sure he can read people's expression or he has this kind of understanding. Some people do not have this understanding of how people are feeling.
Also kudos to you for playing women card in the end. I think you can read. Right? Hopefully the answer is yes, then read it again I wrote the answer for both sides.
You think your husband is now gaslighting you, very well, now let ne judge you and say that you are a kind of person who has not been with many harships, you may ask why. Because if you had hard life, this pitty think would not have mattered. Also I've seen WOMEN working and handling a kid as well, she's my Mother. I've seen her hardships, I've went through same. But the thing that I'm speaking of, my mother taught me. So if you're trying to say I'm not able to understand if a woman has feelings or not. Lady you are sooooooo wrong. I've been my mother's and she has been my support system. I don't want to say this but let me give you a glimpse what had happened in my life, when my father had heart attack, I was in college, after that I started taking private tutions from 5 to 10, one of the parents agreed to give me timing of 10:45 to 11:45 because his kid was not very good. Now think I had to wake at 6, cook for my parents me, pack my lunch, clean whole house, wash all dishes, wash my clothes, go to college, bunk last 2 classes, go give tutions then get back to my home till 12:10, then eat my food. Do the work given to me by profs then rinse and repeat. Even after that I use to get angry at every small things and my mother taught me how to control my emotions and how this menial thing should not affect my life.
If you think your life is so bad, your husband is gaslighting you, everyone is judging you because again I would say :
1. You wanted validation that you were right.
2. You wanted to prove your husband wrong so that you're free from this guilt or burden.
3. You again played a women card and a victim card, since you're a working woman I'm pretty sure you're that much tough otherwise lady you won't survive in this corporate jungle where everyone wants to screw everyone over.
4. You apologised yet I'm pretty sure you don't think you're at wrong.
5. Now you've used a fancy word Gaslighting, now if you're affected by it, that means you're so gullible that anyone can use you easily and you're working in corporate.
My Suggestion: None of this would matter, neither your stress, your work, when you'd be sick then that man will stand right beside you, he'll support you and be with you all the time. And again I would it does not matter if you're a Guy/Gal, when you've a partner with you. Ensure that you cherish that time, the biggest weapon in this world is TIME. Once it's gone, it's gone. No matter how much you GASLIGHT yourself it's gone, won't matter what gender you have. Can you cry and get 5 to 10 milliseconds of your life back because you're a woman. No, sadly the rule of the Nature is same. Live your life without thinking about these small things. Also if you're a women, trust me there are people who'll say anything just to make you happy and that's a curse. Please remember to be true to yourself. The day you start lying to yourself, it's gone, everything is gone.
So guys that's it. To the WOMEN who has been GASLIGHTED by his husband or me or the society, Live well I know the felling when I got job and my mother was talking to some doctor regarding my father's condition and what next should be done. Instead of shouting at me she celebrated, and said that there is some good news that day.
GASLIGHTED WOMEN that is you are living as a single entity with your husband, try to live as a couple and if your husband is same as you ask him to do same.
To everyone else reading my rant , you little.......
Good bless you and me too
Chao ✌️

All I know is if you truly love somebody you will always be happy in their happiness, even if you had a bad day you still had a reason to be happy as soon as you reached your house and you yourself ruined it....
If your husband had reacted to your happiness the same way what would you do how would you react ??
If you want him to read your face I think you should have read his face as well that he is happy and I should not be shouting at him simple
And you never know he might not share his happiness with you anymore , so be mindful of what you say and behave when you are frustrated or angry. if you cannot just say I need space I will talk once I calm myself down and behave like adults instead of playing blame games🤷🏻♀️

[a digital marketer](username) I have read quite a few of your comments now and I don't really get it why you are so fixated on partners asking 'How was your day?' or u said Before sharing joys and sorrows, it's important to ask how the other person's day was.
That's a...very weird rule you have made and which cannot be always applicable. Like, if something very good happens with you, u go to ur friends and naturally start the conversation as "Hey guess what? I got that project!"
Or if something very bad happens, u say like "Yaar my manager dumped last min work on me!"
It's coz u are feeling either so elated/depressed that asking how the other person's day just doesn't cross ur mind and that's natural part of human behaviour. I don't think you'd have asked him either of how his day went and would have started ranting ur frustrations to him had u gotten the chance first.
So just calm down on that whole notion of 'How did ur day go?' Normally, might be but you cannot expect ur husband (or he to u) to ask this question every single time like some ritual is going on.

[a digital marketer](username) Did you ask him about his day??
And anyways you know what it's very normal when we are extremely happy we just share it with our loved ones as soon as we see them, without a second thought.
And no I don't think it's important to ask how the other person's day was .
I mean it's just my opinion I would not make that as a rule in my relationship, because I feel my partner should always feel like he can always come and share his joy and sorrow with me without a second thought.
Because I believe Good and bad days come and go . But it's our responsibility that we cherish and celebrate those happy moments with our loved ones and if we can't celebrate at least not ruin it so that we do not regret it later.

Your husband was sharing his happiness, you also should have shared your sadness or emotion whatever you had in your mind. But what did you do?? You shouted at your husband. I mean really!?!? Was it necessary??
Communication is a skill and we Indians are very very very poor when it comes to SKILL. Everyone wants to be at the top, that too without any skill. Your husband just wanted to express his feelings and what you did was try to position yourself on top of his happiness or feelings since you are emotionally frustrated.
You could have listened to him and thereafter share your own emotional feelings (with a pinch of salt, masala like we Indians do to make it feel more intense). Let him understand your situation and discuss it with you. Thats it. As simple as that.

He had a good day, you had a bad one..
He started telling you how happy he was with things at his work, you were frustrated at the things at your work..
But, saying SHUTUP to someone suddenly when they were happily sharing things with their life partner should have a reason.. Anger? Jealous? Tired? Frustrated?
What caused this "shutup"? Your frustration or his happiness?
He didn't know about your day. It would have been better if you said.. "Hey, I am happy for you, wish i could say the same about mine, but things are frustrating me right now at work, can we talk later?".. if he is sensible enough, he will stop it and wait for you to talk about it or asks you to take rest..
Being an optimist, i would like to assume he is giving you space with the silence though..
We all have bad days at work, doesn't mean we can take it out at easy targets.. i am not taking his side, but it would have been better if we had a little control on what, when and to whom we say some things.
May not be my place to suggest anything, but try talking to him, starting with, "sorry for the other day" and see how it goes🙂

[anarneemus](username) I completely get what you’re saying when one person has a good day and the other is struggling, it can definitely create tension. His happiness and my frustration were clashing in that moment, and I’m not proud of how I reacted.
But sometimes, when you’re overwhelmed and tired, it’s hard to find the right words in the moment. Saying “shut up” wasn’t meant to hurt him, but it came from that place of frustration and exhaustion. Maybe I could have handled it better, I agree.
I also believe that living together for a long time means we often understand each other’s moods without having to say much. Don't you think so?
Although, Thanks for your suggestion.... it really makes me think about how we can both be more mindful.

You didn’t do anything wrong by expressing frustration that’s part of being human, and especially part of being a woman in a world that expects us to be emotionally available, supportive, and composed 24/7. The problem isn’t that you snapped it’s that we’re conditioned to believe our partners' success should come before our burnout. Maybe he needed to celebrate, but maybe you needed to be seen first. Emotional equality isn’t just about sharing good news it’s about creating space for each other’s storms too

@sanskritiq Let’s not confuse emotional honesty with emotional entitlement. Being frustrated is valid lashing out at someone celebrating their hard-earned success is not. Emotional equality also means not making your partner pay for a bad day you didn’t communicate about. He didn’t dismiss her feelings she dismissed his joy. Respect isn’t a gendered expectation it’s a basic one. You don’t create space for each other’s storms by shutting the door in someone’s face.

I understand your feelings but I also understand his. As you said, he was very happy about getting a new project. Now if it was a normal day, he might have read your mood and asked what was wrong but because he was so happy with his news, it probably missed him to ask coz he was more eager to share it with you and celebrate.
If the situation was reversed, can you say with absolute certainty that with the excitement of your happy day, you wouldn't have missed to recognize your husband's bad day?
You two were having very opposite spectrum of experiences that day so it's understandable if ur wavelengths didn't match. And that's okay. So yes, he did miss reading your mood but you could have done the same thing as well if u were in his place. You felt he didn't involve with your frustration but then again, you also didn't involve with his happiness either, right? So it's okay if u lashed out at him in the heat of moment. It can happen to anyone. But the important thing now is u talk to him, apologize for lashing out and share how you felt that day.
Also I'm single but I'll still humbly ask u not to get into those assumptions and expectations of ur partner being able to read you without u saying a word. That's too idealistic. Just properly communicate and be happy.

[incrediblekamikaze](username) I get that we’re all human and can miss things in the moment, but why does it always seem like I have to explain or adjust more? I believe in communicating clearly, yes, but also in trying to intuitively feel what the other person is going through without needing everything spelled out all the time.

JUST GO AND APOLOGIZE FOR SHOUTING, YOU CAN SHARE YOUR BAD DAY BY JUST SHARING NOT BY SHOUTING

[ashokkumar01](username) Sometimes shouting comes from overwhelming frustration, not intention. Instead of just blaming me, try understanding why I reacted that way. I shared my side to be heard, not judged. Feels like a hypocritical society when only one version is accepted.

He came and shared his happy moments with you, things wont go good if you shut him down like that. I understand u r frustrated but how does he will know?? Either you can say that u had bad day or you are sad . If he was the reason for your frustration then u shout like you want but because of work he doesn't deserve that , neither you too....go back and say sorry , your life partner is more important, dont let office things get you....

[amusingstrawberry](username) even though you both each other doesnt mean you both will understand at every instance na, because when someone is happy their first initiative will be sharing with their closed ones, when someone is sad they tend to be silent or have their own space, practically if we speak a husband or wife will never know what has happened in the office , u can be happy/sad/excited.....etc etc....it becomes probablity game for someone to understand, lets say he understands your emotions and all but at the same time he is happy and wants to share too....now here in an relationship whose side we chose ? His happiness or your frustration, both of them will lead to something or maybe? Both of you can hold your emotions for a bit then give chance to each other to share your day happenings. The best thing here is that not who is right or wrong but to find a way so that this wont happen , you both can handle this way better. All the best.

I understand you're going through a difficult time, and I want to offer some perspective that might help.
Imagine yourself in your husband's shoes. He might have perceived your reaction as unwelcoming and unexpected, leading to an awkward silence between you two. If, after a day of work, you were in a happy or even just a normal mood, what would you have done?
I suggest you apologize to him and express your genuine happiness for his growth. Consider buying him a gift and recreating the positive atmosphere you would have brought to that day if you had been in a happy mood. Taking the first step often leads to reconciliation. I hope he understands your feelings and that you both can move past this.
Create more positive memories with him. He has a different place than others in your life.

[risingrobin](username) Maybe I do need to apologize to keep things peaceful, even though it’s not easy for me. It’s hard when it seems like I’m always the one expected to make the first move.
I want him to know I’m truly happy for his success, but I also wish my feelings were recognized without me having to explain everything or always be the one to fix things. I hope we can both work on creating more positive memories because he means a lot to me.

You made a mistake by shouting at him without any valid reason. The stress was yours, he didn't cause it. He is 100% right by being silent. You expected him to be happy the next day as if nothing happened?. that's pure selfishness & evil. You're not even trying to see things from his perspective, and expecting public to be on ur side. Stop being selfish & narrow minded.

I’m seeing so many comments but you’re SO ADAMANT for someone to take your side when you’re clearly in the wrong. There’s like negative accountability from your side. Your husband is not “antaryami” to know everything without any communication from your side. Women give an RBF even when they’re happy or sad, so it’s not his mistake at all. You need to apologise first, as you were the one to shout first.

I don't know if it's that difficult to understand but you do not need to bring down a person to vent your frustration. Your timing was awful here. You could have let your husband celebrate and maybe a few minutes later shared your situation. But interrupting him in the middle came as insensitive and your husband just felt you wanted to spoil his news.
Just imagine yourself in his shoes and you might understand.

[fashionableespresso](username) Honestly, it’s getting really difficult to make everyone understand my point of view. It feels like my frustration is always seen as a roadblock to his happiness, and not as something real that needs attention too. I just want us to acknowledge both sides without one always overshadowing the other.

You are just another selfish person who can't handle others growth. At the same time you went through a difficult day which means you didn't do that intentionally instead it just spillage of left out emotions . which surfaced when you saw perfect prey/person who won't do anything even you behave unconsciously. Finally it's your responsibility to say sorry and ask his forgiveness and live a balanced life where both the genders are treated equally. Wishing you a harmonious future with same husband.

[dynamiccherry](username) I’ve actually been in that place before, and I think I showed a lot of understanding by holding back my happiness to be there for his sorrow. I was hoping for the same understanding in return. Sometimes I wonder, why does everything always need to be explained? Can’t we just feel and understand each other without having to put it all into words every time?

Girl, you maybe upset, but the way you did that is wrong. I know we want someone to listen to our stuff, but shutting someone off in between their joy is basically kill-joy. I would suggest you apologise, give that man a big hug and resolve your misunderstanding else this will spiral real bad. He wanted to share the joy to his favorite person which is you, but you doing what you did will make an impression you don't love him or cherish his achievements. I know he could have asked you why you are upset, but you didn't bring it up in a good way as well, so you are also wrong. What you did is Dismissing your partner, which will make a person go shutdown mode. When you have apologised, tell him how you felt that time, frustration was the situation not the person, tell him you would love for him to ask you, how your day was. Listen I am a woman as well, am not at all bashing you, if what you did were a man I would say the same. Never dismiss a person you love, never, it stays in the nervous system of your body. When either of you have things to share, check on each other if it's a good time, their mood. Sometimes your anger can override your intentions or feelings. I hope you both console each other and have a good venting session, you'll feel good.

That said, I just want to ask: what’s wrong with understanding someone’s face and feelings intuitively? If I can pick up on your mood and feelings without you having to explain, why can’t the same be true the other way around? Isn’t that part of being close and connected?

Reverse the role and see what he may feels, yes anyone can have bad day but did you told him that you have a bad day? Did you said him that you are happy for his success but you are in bad mood today? Seems like there is a communication gap between you and your husband, he is not magician that he will predict what's going in your in mind. You spoiled his happiness because your mood was upset, you need to say sorry to him.

Agree. Understanding your situation and true - Not everyone has a good day every day.
Does same thing not applies to your husband also. He also had a good day after all of his hard work which he earned and as you said he also don't get good day everyday . He might also seeking for a good appreciation from you also. Have you told him about ur pissed day, how he would know that. You said shut up. And he is still shut up. 😇

[crazyraita](username) i agree not every day is good for anyone, including my husband. But if he really understood my bad day, he would not expect only appreciation without checking in first. Communication goes both ways, I did not just shut up without reason. Understanding each other means more than just silence.

Apologies and tell him you were in wrong mind that time. Its totally unacceptable behaviour from any partner either male or female to take out ones frustration on another.
it might have happend in the heat of the moment we are humans after all none of us are perfect but whats stopping you from apologizing now. just think if it was other way and he shouted at you.
Looking at your other comments it feels like you are looking for validation rather than genuine feedback.

[blisteringgoldfinch](username) I completely understand your point, and you're right, it's never okay for anyone, regardless of gender, to take out their frustration on their partner. We all make mistakes in the heat of the moment, and I agree that owning up to them is important.
But I want to clarify something, I’m not here seeking validation. I’m trying to express how certain situations feel when you’ve been living with someone for a long time. Over time, you get to know each other so well that even a small change in expression says a lot. In those moments, mutual understanding matters just as much as words.
Why not understanding that basic face expression?

Whether he is your husband, partner or whosoever, you just can't put your frustration on others, if you would have been there, you too have felt like that way, he is sharing joy, you can share sorrow but you are showing him anger, frustration, does it make sense! He is completely blank after seeing such reaction from you, maybe that's why he may got confused & avoiding you. End of the day everyone is a human being, being a husband is not like being a 🧸.

[therock94](username) I admit that I expressed anger and frustration instead of sorrow, and that was wrong. But my main concern is how to help him understand this. If he simply asked me how my day was first, we could both understand each other better. Why is it always the one who’s feeling sad that has to compromise for the other’s happiness?

From man perspective: you need to initiate talk and tell sorry to husband as you told him to "shut up" remember. Thats why he is shutting up and now you need to go to your husband and tell sorry and tell it was just a office frustration you did not mean it, then he will talk to you, otherwise yours wish, receive more silent treatment.

a digital marketer
author

[lightbringer](username) I agree with what you are saying, and I will apologize for that. But my question is why is it so hard to understand that before sharing anything, you should first ask How was your day? I could have shared my feelings too, but I stayed silent, not wanting to ruin his day. When you have lived with someone for a long time, you learn to read their expressions.

This could have been handled peacefully, when he was stating his achievements you should have simply wished him congrats & then told him that you didn't have such a great day. Now he will be checking twice before letting out his excitement of some good news coz you yelled at him unnecessarily. I'd be blunt, I'm a woman but still I'm with your husband on this. You should apologize & make this thing rest for good.

[creativeseagull](username) I appreciate your point, but honestly, do you really think it’s entirely my fault that I yelled? I’m just saying that before sharing his excitement like a gentleman, he could have asked, “How was your day?” first.

It's the way you wrongly put. Instead of saying rudely, you could have said that you are not feeling good. Cut him off after sometime if he don't stop. And, shared your worries and frustration. Ofcourse he would listen if he is a good human

I understand your frustration and it is not being taken for granted either. But instead of shouting on him, you could have addressed your frustration in a way where even you could have gotten the space to tell how frustrated you were about the day, like yapping everything in front of him. You know like simple communication. However, we are just putting our opinions based on how we imagine what you wrote. And things might have been different maybe during that time.
So yeah, take care. Maybe you can go and initiate a convo with him now.

[a valuation analyst](username) What I wrote is exactly what happened..........I shouted, and yes, that was wrong. But if both of us were expressing our emotions, then whose fault is it? Who should be the one to break the silence? And if one tries to initiate, the other might end up dominating the conversation. So then, who is really wrong here?
