My H suffered a pretty big disappointment on Sunday afternoon and has been moping around since. I'm getting really tired of the sighs and sad looks - thankfully he's away at work during the day so it's only in the morning and evenings right now. If he still is doing this come this long four day weekend, I'm liable to strangle him.
I know, I know, I am a terrible person but my patience is wearing thin. I get that he's extremely disappointed on several fronts and he feels let down by friends, but he's acting like a moody teenager. Ugh. Give me strength and patience please.
Nothing to do with his career but a pretty serious hobby. I think he's more hurt because of the "friend" issue. Friend in quotations because this guy has been a dick to my H for several years now, for get this, because he thought my H was giving away a spoiler on a tv show that he had just started watching that had been over for five years or so. Not that it matters but my H wasn't the one talking spoilers it was someone else but I guess his memory has mistakenly attributed it to my H. And yes, alcohol was involved.
Needless to say I dislike that guy a lot and I've been over it all ever since he finally told my H what was bothering him. I guess what happened Sunday was the final blow, so he's mourning the "friendship" as well.
Like I said, I'm a terrible person. But I'm being nice and supportive in real life, that's why I'm complaining here.
Oh and even worse, after said spoilers were discussed (they really weren't but whatever), this guy was in such a rush to get away and not overhear, he tripped and fell. So I get that it's his ego that's been bruised and he's been blaming my H ever since but my H had nothing to do with any of it. And not 10 minutes later someone at the event suffered a diabetic seizure. My H's sister has epilepsy so he knew what to do and the two of us together assisted this man and kept him from injuring himself until the paramedics arrived. And what this douche fixates on is that he thought my H was going to spoil a damn old tv show and he tripped (didn't injure himself physically I should add).
I hate drama so I dismissed that asshat long ago. Anyone that self absorbed is no one I give too shifts about.
No blame here. Whenever my husband is sulky/pouty I want to punch him in the face, regardless of the reason. I don't get pissed off often but sulking sends my blood pressure through the roof I'm not sure what I will do when I have kids, lol.
Right? Battlestar Galactica and no real spoilers. My H was mentioning to the group discussing the show that one of the actresses in BG is in another show we like, Major Crimes. :/

Lol for days!!!
I'm sorry that you're dealing with this. Seems like you and your DH might be better off without this guy
All this over a tv show?? No. He's better off without this dude.
An old tv show! Long since done. I appreciate and respect spoilers, but there are limits! And spoilers weren't discussed. He's a major asshole and I've intensely disliked this guy ever since.
omfg. He's this upset over the loss of a non-friend who was a dick to him for YEARS over an imagined TV show spoiler? Yeah..... I would have a hard time being patient during this mourning process. I get you, I do. I hope he snaps out of it soon!
This may be the nerdiest friend drama I've ever heard.
Right?! And the guy is a high level exec for a division of a well known GIANT entertainment company. Asshat.
And I still cannot get over that he's so butt hurt over tripping after he tried to flounce off dramatically. No one else remembers that happening because a short time later some dude collapsed and was seizing for 10 minutes. I mean seriously, thank goodness for my H because everyone else was standing around open mouthed and my H got right in there and talked me through assisting him. I think I'm extra offended because if anyone has any reason to be embarrassed, it's the diabetic guy who had a prolonged seizure (he pooped his pants, it happens sometimes in such situations) and the hotel manager who was standing around not knowing what to do acted dismayed over the future cleanup. I'm still angry over that too.

Ok, I was with you and your saintly patience til you said the name of the show. I'd email this asshole and tell him Snape kills Dumbledore, and Darth Vader is Luke's father, and omg Goldilocks is the one in Lil fucking Bear's bed. Then I'd bitch slap the dh upside his head and tell him to knock it off.
What a fucking dick. (The Ex Friend, not your dh). Your dh is being a baby.
Thanks for the commiseration. To be fair to my H, douche "friend" essentially blocked him from joining a professional bowling team* that a group of friends are all involved in. He's also let down by the other friends involved who are apparently rolling over and letting jerk call the shots. I've been trying to tell him for years that these guys aren't worth the effort and I think he finally gets it. But it hurts, and I get that too.
*not actually bowling, my H doesn't bowl, changing the detail of this because the internet is not a safe place

Ohhhh. So it's not just that this guy is being his typical asshole self, but that his other friends are going along with it. Ok yeah, I would be hurt too, and feel really left out and shitty.

Yeah and I don't blame my husband for feeling as he does, but I'm annoyed because it really isn't shocking, it's how things have been going the last few years. So I have little patience for it.
See? I'm a terrible person. Ugh.
But talking about it here has really helped, so thank you to all those who responded. Now I can continue with the sympathetic noises.
I cannot imagine literally running away from a spoiler. And this asshat is in the entertainment industry? He clearly should've been more up on his t.v. viewing. SINCE IT'S HIS JOB. Can you picture him in some powerbroker meeting lurching from the room and knocking over one of those wipe board easels on the way out? "DON'T TELL ME IF THEY EVER FIND EARRRRRRRRRRTH"

Between this and @cse1960's Lil' fucking Bear, I am in tears.

The "friend" sounds like a real gem. I'm just sorry the other guys are going along with it. I know if my H was in a similar situation, he'd be hurt, too. I hope he gets over it quickly. Oh, and wine for you!
Is this snub on the "I won't get to race the America's Cup" level?
No, thank god. My H grew up sailing and would be completely inconsolable if it were that, or even on that level. It's closer to indoor soccer level. lol
O.k. - no. Sad looks and sighs?? WTF is that? I fully understand why he's upset. Having lost asshole friends, even being assholes, there is still actually a bit of a mourning period around it.
But sad looks and sighs? Come on now. This isn't Drama 101.
