I (34) and my husband (35) have been together for 10 years and I’m pregnant for the first time. I was born and raised in another country and even though I speak English fluently, I still have an accent and sometimes will stumble on words. Needless to say that I have encountered people who have been rude and condescending to my accent but I deal with it and move forward as I understand that not everyone has to tend to my language difficulties. My husband is American and I have asked him to jump in and talk on my behalf when I am not explaining myself well to others so we can avoid any confusion. We were at the grocery store and went to the meat section. I was looking to get some thinly sliced meat and my husband said I should ask the people in the back if they could slice it to my desired liking. I rang for assistance and a gentleman came to help. I asked if they could slice the prepacked meat I had and he explained that everything prepacked could not be removed and packed again. I understood and I asked if they had anything in the back that was no prepacked. I could clearly see from the glass window that there was uncut meat on the shelves. The gentleman answered “we can’t slice any meat that has been prepacked” and gave me a look like I was from another planet and did not understand him the first time. My husband tapped me on the shoulder and said to the man behind the counter “I got you man” and the man said to him “do you understand me?” And my husband replied “yeah I understand man, don’t worry”. Now it could be the pregnancy hormones but that left me fuming. I walked away and I told my husband “you always do this. Why couldn’t you just explain to him what I meant if he didn’t understood me” and I said that he always does that because it’s not the first time this happens. He came back at me and said that I didn’t understood and that the guy explained to me and I was just blowing up for no reason. Mind you he was saying that out loud while my tone was way lower. In the end he said that I just wanted him to fight the guy. And that is not it at all. I don’t want him to fight anyone, I just wanted him to step in and help me out instead of completely dismissing me and acting like I was just a dumbest person in the store who could not understand a sentence. I don’t even know what else to say but this left me a really bitter taste in my mouth. All opinions welcomed.
