My husband has thrown me under the bus over his gaffes so often that I don’t want to ever go anywhere with him again.

He’s done this to me many, many times. I go along with him to some appointment he has, and he starts talking, and the way he words things start sounding like he means something completely different (and negative) than what he really means. Then he’ll get all flustered and tell them I can confirm it’s true. He won’t say what he means clearly, and sometimes the person will be so offended they won’t even give him a chance to say what he means. They just assume he’s some sort of shady character because of his poor communication skills.<br><br>Here’s an example. We moved into a new house back in October and the kitchen had no trash cans. I complained to the property manager. She said that they hadn’t replaced the ones that were in the kitchen when we looked at the house because my husband told her we didn’t need new ones and to give the old ones to another tenant. I have no idea where he ever said that. I’ve never heard him say that. I think he meant to say we didn’t need brand new ones but would take the old ones that were there, but I don’t know. The property manager went on and on and on at me about how they were trying to be frugal because rents have been in the toilet and they need to save money. Then my husband interrupted her with “see, she agrees we didn’t need new ones!” And I had to stop him and say no, we never said that. Then he said “oh, so you’re trying to say I’m a liar?” And I’m just there thinking “why in the hell would I come up with some bullshit lie about us not wanting trashcans?” Mind you, the end result was they gave us the old trashcans from the house we were renting. If they had been brand new I’m sure he would have taken credit for that. But no. All I got was him throwing me under the bus and pissing off our property manager.<br><br>Another example, his doctors appointment. His doctor rushed in the room and didn’t introduce herself. My husband says “you’re supposed to introduce yourself when you walk in a room! I don’t know who you are!” And the doctor says “I’m your doctor.” Then my husband says “See, she admits she didn’t introduce herself!” And I’m sitting there wanting to say “dude, she literally just introduced herself right there!” But if I jump in he’ll start an argument with me about me saying he’s a liar. <br><br>He goes on trips for work and I go along as his “plus one” because it means I get to go to nice hotels for free. But he gets kicked out of so many places and is told he’s not welcome back. The last time he went on a work trip and invited me along, I told him I wasn’t going. He asked why and I told him it’s because he gets in so much trouble and argues with people and I don’t want to be there for it. He immediately got on the defense and said “no I don’t! You’re just trying to make me look like a liar!”<br><br>I’m done with him going out places.
