AIBU?

H2B didn't make me toast.

So H2B says 'I fancy something to eat' and I said I was hungry too and would like some toast.

Me - I'd love some toast if your getting something.
Him - I always make the toast
Me - I made dinner. I always make dinner. If you make the dinner, I'd make the toast.
Him - ok well I'll make dinner on Friday.
Me - fine

20 mins goes past

Him - I think I'd like some banana and peanut butter on my toast
Me - help yourself. I asked you half an hour ago for some toast and you've just sat there!
Him - you didn't actually ask me
Me - I'm not going beg you for toast! Forget it.

I'm now in bed sulking.

I am aware this is completely trivial and ridiculous but AIBU?!

Erm I think he thought you were making toast because he offered to cook dinner on Friday

Question is.. Did he make himself some toast?!

If he did... and he didn't make you any? Yup.. He'd be in a world of trouble in this house!

But you said you'd make it if he made dinner, he said he'd make dinner on Friday, you said fine. So you should be making toast!

I also love toast and I feel your frustration Grin

Don't worry. It's a petty bicker which most couples sometimes have.

But I have a cat on me. Maybe he will go & make the toast?

And he's sitting downstairs with twice as much toast. I think he's done well here. Grin

So who made the toast?

Yes YABU to sulk in bed over toast. Assuming you are both adults you should start acting like it. Enjoy being together rather than spending time bickering and sulking like a toddler

Can't say I'd get worked up about it tbh
I always prefer to make my own toast anyway, it's Never quite right when someone else makes it! Except maternity ward toast, obviously.

Stab him when he falls asleep...with a butter knife.
That'll learn him.

Considering that few (any?) people here have understood that exchange, how was that good communication?

What do you hope to achieve by sulking?

Maternity ward toast was why I had a home birth second time round. Worst. Toast. Ever. Don't even get me started on the tea.

Fuxxake.

Why are you eating toast so late at night?

That aside...

What's the back story? I doubt you're sulking about one toast-related exchange?

YABU for getting upset over toast! Seems like you were both being lazy.

Late at night? It's not even 10 o'clock and they are adults after all Grin

Clearly neither of you actually needed to eat. Be grateful you avoided mindless consumption of unnecessary calories.

Despair it was the best worst toast I've ever eaten! Absolutely starving at that point.
I have to agree about the tea though, no colour at all, it was lukewarm and I had to drink it through a straw as I couldn't moveHmm

I've always thought of toast as a purely breakfast food. Is it a night time snack too?

I was also absolutely starving, but couldn't face the anaemic warm bread with margarine & the tea which was the same colour as the (white) mug.

Contrast with homebirth - bacon sandwich, proper cup of tea, flapjack. Sorted.

I'd gone to bed to get an early night, I'm seriously considering getting up to get some toast now.
Unless anyone else is making some?

Semaphorically we eat toast at all hours here. I genuinely think my kids might starve if toast didn't exist.

Clearly someone isn't making enough dinner. Wink
