The original poster admits that she tends to type her test messages quickly and can have spelling and grammatical errors.
She Doesn’t Think It’s That Important
She doesn’t think it’s necessary to have an error free text message. OP feels as long as the recipient understands the message she is conveying, that’s all that matters.
It Irritates Her Husband
She usually double checks her text messages before sending them to her husband but she says it slipped her mind.
Her In-Laws Were Coming
Her in-laws, including her sister-in-law and her family were coming for dinner so she was preparing a meal for everyone.
She Needed One Important Ingredient
She was making Thai green curry and realized she didn’t have a tin of coconut milk at home.
She Sent Him a Shopping List
She sent a list of several items for her husband to pick up from the grocery store.
He Came Home Without the Main Item
He returned from the grocery store without the most important item that she needed to complete the meal for the family, the coconut milk.
She Asked Him Why He Didn’t Buy It
She got annoyed because he had purchased everything on her list except for the coconut milk. When she asked him why he didn’t buy the coconut milk, he responded that he couldn’t understand what she meant and that the next time she should check her spelling before sending a text.
The Typo
She had written ‘coconut mlik’ instead and apparently he was unable to understand what that was.
She Told Him to Figure Out Dinner
She left him to figure out dinner and he got takeout instead of her serving a home cooked meal.
He Was Angry
He was upset about having to go get takeout after because he had a hard day at work while she was at home. She is wondering if she is wrong for making him responsible for dinner since she couldn’t complete her meal.
The Readers Comment
The comments were overwhelmingly in favor of the original poster. Most of the readers didn’t even see the typo initially as our brains can still decipher small errors in spelling.
“It actually took me like 3 slooow readings of your typo to see it – because human brains are wired to ignore typos that do not affect the meaning of the word.”
The general consensus is her husband was trying to be petty and punish her for her typo.
“Your husband sounds like the worse kind of control freak. Is he your school teacher to treat you like a child in this way?”
Should She End the Relationship?
The fact that he took issue over a typo, criticized her and was so petty that he refused to call or text or clarify or bring the obvious item is a red flag. Several readers suggested she reevaluate the relationship. One reader commented:
“And if you haven’t had kids yet, think hard on what kind of father he would be to tear his kids down in the same way he does you over something as insignificant as a typing error in a text message.”
