Am I stupid?

My husband lost his credit card and insisted I had to call and pretend to be him and request they send him a new one. It’s his account, and a while back he ordered a card for me too.

Now, I’ve never lost a credit card or had one stolen. I’ve never had any problems whatsoever and I didn’t even know our cards were the same until that day. I didn’t want to pretend to be him, but he got mad so I just did it to make him leave me alone.

I called, and it was obvious I wasn’t a man. The woman on the like was like, “this is _?”….”ok _” haha. Kind of like, “sure, if you say so”

I said the card was lost and a requested a new one. I mean, that’s what happened.

Soooooo, then my card got cancelled too and now we’re waiting on replacements. My husband keeps going on and on about how I can’t even use any common sense and I shouldn’t have told them it was lost. I should’ve just requested a new one. I know that now obviously, but I had no way of knowing they’d cancel mine because he lost his.

So, am I dumb as a box of rocks for not realizing this?

I’m just tired of hearing my husband tearing me down about it and it’s really got me feeling like I’m just stupid and incompetent.

You're not dumb. You did it properly, and it was nice of you to do it for him... and your husband is being fussy and a dick in response.

If it's lost they need to know so it can be canceled, so no one uses it. If someone else does use your card somehow then you got to deal with being on hold for hours to dispute charges that you didn't make because of a stolen card. It's a mess, believe me. Much easier to just spend an hour switching any billing over to the new card I can see how his response would be frustrating. I'd be a little exasperated too.
