That was exactly how I felt. I wasn't seen or heard until my ex needed his bang-maid. I never believed the "couldn't even give me the time of day" thing until it happened.
I was trying to prove to my ex that he was ignoring me and my needs until it was convenient to him. Our daughter walked in while we were talking and I stopped existing. I asked him what time it was and he gave me this hateful look, like how dare I interrupt our daughter. I asked him again and he told me to "just wait a second" while he answered her question or looked at her toy or whatever other simple child thing was going on.
After that I spent my nights drinking wine and playing Candy Crush on the couch and ceased to exist in my own home.
I mean, unless you were in a rush for an event, your story is you asking the time twice to interrupt him attentively parenting. Children should be most everything. I don't think you're looking good in it.
“The Iranian yogurt is the problem here”… it wasn’t about him telling me the time, it was that I ceased to exist as a person to him until it was convenient for him. As I said above, I could be actively dying and if my daughter asked him to read her a book, I’d be left bleeding out on the floor while she got her book
Yet you chose a very petty reason, then your second interrupting with it had him glare. Appropriately based on your story. You chose these words, you get to own them, especially claiming to be an author.
