Yelled at husband for reading texts. Now he is annoyed.

[Anonymous]

Three days ago my DH was reading over my shoulder as I was texting with my bff about mundane things. Kept asking what we were saying. When he started reading over my should for the second time I snapped and just yelled stop. Was I out of line? I want my privacy but at the same time I'm not hiding anything from him. He does not need to know what I bitch to my girlfriends about. He's been acting cold and annoyed for days. Was I out of line. I feel like I was in the right.

He is being a little bitch.

"I apologize for raising my voice about this issue. Now you know never to do this again."

I HATE it when anyone reads over my shoulder. However, the one who raises his voice has to apologize.

All you can do at this point is damage control, since you both handled that situation so terribly. Do you have bigger issues in your relationship?

My parents are in their 70s and married for 53 and for all 53 of those years my mom has been snapping at my dad for reading over her shoulder. In fact it's just about the only time she loses her cool with him. He still does it though. Omg dad, get a clue!!!

sounds like he likely snatched your phone and read your previous texts while in the bathroom.
wait for him to bring up some asinine thing and act all offended.

my husband did this and got in a huff when a friend in Florida asked how we were, I said we had houseguests (his parents), she asked how long, I said 3 weeks, and she said OMG that's really long. and he accused me of talking bad about his parents! juvenile.

I haven't bothered changing my password, if he keeps doing it he's the nutjob.

I like your modus operandi. It is working for you.

I have done this to my kids. DS has habit of walking up and looking over shoulder and reading/commenting on whatever I happen to be googling. and ONe time I lost it and yelled stop it. He finally got the point it is rude. Being polite just didn't work. BUt since it is DS I don't care if he is pouting.

My DH does this, too. So annoying. I look up at him and say coolly, "May I help you?" He then remembers it's annoying and backs off.

You yelled, you are wrong, say sorry.

He is wrong. He need to read his own text messages.
I wouldn't have yelled, I would've told him to get lost.

Wow. So pleasant. How about, "babe, please don't read over my shoulder, I've mentioned this before."

The way the women here talk to their husbands is appalling.

"May I help you"

"Now you know to never do this again."

Yikes.
