So my husband Caleb (31) is a prankster. He jokes about everything and pulls pranks of all types all the time. I hate them all and I made it clear to him that I will not tolerate any prank or joke no matter what his justification is. He’s always like “chill, it’s just a joke” or “that’s hella funny you should be laughing instead of yelling” and stuff like that.
Yesterday, We were going out to grab some stuff. He said he “was in the mood” to joke around today (then) and when I attempted to get in the car he began driving back and forth while laughing. I told him I’d go back inside if he did it again and he stopped.
We arrived to the location and he kept locking the door and then unlocking it preventing me to get out. I told him to stop it and he said “okay I’m sorry”. We got into the store and he kept returning the items I put inside the cart til I caught him in act and told him to stop. He stopped
After we got done we stood behind a long line to pay. I stand and he stands beside me laughing and mumbling stuff. I then suddenly feel something on my head. I reach out and find that he stuck a candy that he was eating on it which freaked me out I started screaming at him while everyone else watched.
He looked red in the face as I berated him for what he’s done and kept trying to get me to quiet down, repeatedly saying people were watching us. there was an officer nearby and he noticed the commotion and asked if there was something wrong. Caleb looked stunned but I told him he wanted to make a scene he just got one. Then I left him with the stuff and walked out.
Upon his return he started arguing with me saying I shouldn’t have screamed like a lunatic and drafting public’s attention and making a scene over a prank. He said this was not acceptable to him and it shouldn’t be to me as well since we have a reputation and what I did at the store made us both look bad. I shut the door and remained in the room til he went outside.
he still thinks I overreacted and embarrassed both of us by screaming.
