Husband says I was getting overpowered by a bank teller when he asked me to move to the next teller.?


Share |

When I went to the bank with my husband recently, the teller asked me to go to the next teller since there was a problem. There were 3 people on the queue so when pointed out by husband, the teller said to go directly to the other teller without waiting on the queue. I said ok and waited for the person currently...

I think your husband is over-reacting here.
The teller asked you to step over to another window.
The teller most likely was trying to do you and your husband "a kindness" by telling you that there was a problem and that this customer was going to take much longer to process their transaction....
Your husband most likely would have had MORE of a problem if he had to wait for an extra 15-20 minutes and not directed over to another teller window.
I don't think you husband is viewing this in the same way as you are.
This does not mean you are meek or let someone get one over on you...
"Overpowering"....kind of makes me wonder if your husband has a few control issues.

I am a bank teller and your husband is really over-reacting. It has nothing to do with a power issue, your transaction simply needed to be handed over to a different person who could better assist you. That way it doesnt draw as much attention to yourself by having two people at a teller window and it also keeps the line moving.

I'd say he as already has a great ability to make you doubt yourself.......what the real issue here should be is how he's made you feel???

Can you do me a favor? Start making a list of the things he calls to your attention as being a "fault" rather than an "asset" to who your are....this will tell you in no time WITHOUT ANY DOUBTS, what his actions men and HOW YOU MAY NEED TO REACT in a positive healthy way! Good luck, I think you're great but need some confidence back...that's free, he could help with that also.

I would do exactly what the teller told me to do. I'd also try and put my meek side over in the corner for just a second and hit the control freak I married over the head with the biggest pot in the kitchen.

Sounds like your husband has power issues. Is he one of those asshat customers who thinks he is always right and does everything in his power to be "dominant" over anyone trying to help him? Yea, I am sure waiters have given his food a few surprises in his lifetime.

Personally, I find nothing wrong with your actions or the actions of the initial teller. What is so wrong about being sent to someone who might have more training, experience or capability to better handel your problem?

I would have done what the teller said.. wait my turn at the next line. Whats the big deal.

I would have told my husband to shut his boring hole, and that next time he can go to the bank himself.
No you are not meek, you just seem to have a controlling husband

Your husband seems to have a big chip on his shoulder.
You did just fine. However, you need to keep a careful
eye out for the type of trouble your husband appears to
just be ITCHING to make.

I would tell him, "From now on you have to stay home. You're not mature enough to be out in public."
