AIBU?

to be pissed off that DH has just had a takeaway delivered for himself, just as I did not cook dinner tonight?

DH feels cooking is part of "my job" as I have been a SAHM for most of the last 3 years. However, I now work 2.5 days a week, am nearly 8 months pregnant, have a 3 year old and still do the majority of care of DS and all the housework, washing and cooking. He goes to work, does DIY and baths DS when he can be bothered to get in in time.

This week I really have not felt like cooking in the evenings (have lost my appetite really) but still have done most nights. This evening I am knackered so thought I would wait and see whether DH would step up to the mark (he does sometimes!) I am upstairs , he is downstairs and I hear him order take out - for himself only!!!!! I would not care but he always is negative about take outs when I suggest them on a friday as he does not like to waste money. I also did the weekly shop yesterday so there is plenty of food choice. My DH is a selfish pratt I think most people would agree!

Im off to get some toast for dinner.

Whaaaaaat? He didn't ask you if you wanted anything?
He doesn't sound like much of a catch tbh.

It sounds as though it is your DH's job to be a cunt.

You just said you lost your appetite, maybe he thought you wouldn't want anything?

If you just couldn't be arsed to cook ( we all have days like that ) you ought to have yelled down the stairs "i'll have a chow mein" or whatever"

omfg Tell him what an unutterably selfish piece of work he is and either he steps up or you are seriously thinking of what the hell is wrong with your marriage.
Oh and also, eat the takeaway, you need it more than he does.

I think you should eat his takeaway and he can have cold toast. He's lucky to be getting that.

I would have killed him
8 months pregnant, working, a
Toddler and you do the housework?

He should be bloody well ashamed of himself

Has it arrived yet? If not, why not get to the door first and divide it onto two plates thanking him for noticing how tired you are, what with the out of home work, the childcare, the housework and being 8 months pregnant

He hasn't ordered takeaway for his pregnant, working, mothering wife? He's some piece of work. I would be chucking things at my dh by now - you sound very calm. Is he often this much of a git?

Sorry, but that's fucking appalling.

What kind of good points can he possibly have which make up for that?

He'd better shit gold nuggets, that's all I'm saying.

Go downstairs, pick up the phone and add what u want to the order then give him a severe bollocking. The fucking nerve of it

Have u actually said anything to him. Is he completely unaware and in his own little world or is he just being a cock

Are you sure he doesn't intend for you to share it? I think I would sweep downstairs when it arrives, say 'Great! Thanks for being so thoughtful!' then snaffle the lot.
