Back story is I'm mainly the one who researches big purchases. DH previously had a job for 2 years (teacher) where he had little free time so it all fell to me. For the last year he's worked 9-5 essentially with all non work time free.
Gradually over this time I've asked him to help our sorting stuff. DD birthday party, baptism etc. Both of those examples went brilliantly. We're having work done on the garden (organised by me) and I asked him to sort out the garden furniture. He found the perfect set which I thanked him for and said what a great job he'd done. As it's my birthday coming up I said anyone who asks him for ideas to ask for money towards the set. We were always going to get it but given it's nearly my birthday, I'm not particularly in need of anything and I'm on maternity leave so could do with a contribution to that (we have totally joint funds) rather than stuff I don't need.
Fast forward 2 weeks. He's just told me it's out of stock. I assumed as we had the conversation 2 weeks ago and Ebay said 'Almost gone' he would have just bought it and banked any money contributed to it (parents, siblings etc)
Nope. Apparently he was waiting for everyone's money to come in before buying it. Despite the fact we were going to buy it anyway and the fact it was low stock. He's annoyed at me being disappointed because he says I should have pointed out it said 'Almost gone'. I'm annoyed at him that he didn't just buy it when he saw it - it really was perfect and a great price hence why it's all gone
Who is being unreasonable?
