This is so straightforward so how my (33F) partner (39M) is annoyed at me I don’t know but I’ll see what reddit thinks
Standing in our garden and my partner tells me he smells gas. I say i always smell it when its on, is that normal? He said no.
So I googled what to do, called the gas emergency line, explained the issue and explained there’s no smell inside just outside. The call handler assured me I did the right thing.
Engineer was out within the hour, checked everything, and turns out the boiler we have releases a little bit of gas when it fires and that’s normal, nothing to be worried about. Relief!
But now my partner won’t talk to me because he’s annoyed I rang without asking him first.
I rang for advice, I didn’t know they’d send someone, I’m glad they did though as I’m a smoker who smokes right where we smelt the gas.
So reddit, AITA?
NTA You shouldn’t need your husband’s permission to call the gas emergency line.
