AITAH for being upset over my husband’s sick joke ?
Throw away account .
This has been bothering me, and my husband thinks I’m overreacting. I met him when he was 22, and I was 36. We dated for two years and then got married. We now have a little girl together ( married for 4 years)
I have a better job than him, and since his schedule is more flexible, he helps out around the house a lot. The thing is, if our roles were reversed, everyone would expect the wife to do more housework. But in our case, people treat him like he’s some kind of saint.
My husband loves joking around. Even when I thank him, he’ll joke, “I know, they don’t make them like me anymore.” Last Saturday, we had people over, and one of the wives complimented his cooking and said what a great guy he is. He joked, “Well, she got me young and raised me well, haha.”
When they left, I lost it. He made me look like some old creep and acted like I trained him or something. I asked him if our age difference bothers him, and he looked shocked and said no, not at all and he was just joking. He said he doesn’t think he’s a saint because every husband should help out.
I told him his “sick joke” says otherwise. Since then, he’s been trying really hard to apologize and make it up to me, but I can’t get over it. Am I overreacting? Am I being the asshole here with no sense of humor?
