I’m really just looking to see if I should be upset or not. I feel like I have a right to be.

So we are moving houses. We are very excited about this and in packing I(26F) decided to get rid of a lot of stuff. I posted my mini fridge on Facebook marketplace and got a hit. They asked if I would deliver about 15 minutes from my house and I said “Sure for $10 extra”. They agreed and I asked my husband(27M) to load it into the SUV as it is quite heavy (about 2.5feet tall and 2 feet wide).

After he loaded it I asked him if he wanted to get some takeout after we were done. He said “we?”. I asked if he was coming with me. He said why would he do that? I told him “it’s a Facebook marketplace meet up. How do I know if it’s really an old lady I’m meeting and not some man who could hurt me or rob me?”

He said “you’ll be fine.” And turned away and went inside.

I drove to the address and was greeted by a man instead of the old handicapped lady who messaged me. He said he was her grandson and he’d unload it. I was wary as this is out in the country and no neighbors around and the house was essentially a wooden shack behind a broke down RV and covered in weeds and knee high grass, but I said okay and opened my SUV for him. He carried it in and returned with my money plus the delivery fee. I left right after. On the way home it started raining and storming and I was having massive anxiety from being greeted with a man and from driving in the storm. I got home and didn’t talk to him the rest of the night. He thinks I overreacted because nothing happened. I said what if something did happen?

I’m still selling things on marketplace but I think I may ask my dad to go with me next time.

Did I overreact? Did I have a right to be upset?

tl;dr Husband sent me a FB Marketplace meet up alone and I felt unsafe.
