Ordering chips, AIBU?

[LondonHerbivore32]

The local Chinese takeaway does really good chips. Amazing ones. Got to know this when they sent me some by accident a few weeks ago.

So tonight, DH and I order a takeaway and having been ill all week and struggling through it at work, I fancied treating myself to some of those amazing chips as a side to my meal.

DH strongly objected on two grounds; that I won't eat them all and that its not right to have chips as a side to Chinese food. As I was doing the order online, I just ignored him and added the chips.

When the meal arrived he got really would up about the chips being there, going on and on about how it wasn't a right thing to order, how I was wasting food, how it was unhealthy etc.... He wouldn't let it go and made a huge issue of it.

He then said that I'm banned from ever ordering chips with a Chinese takeaway again. He's now sulking in another room.

I accept that it's not in any way traditional, but they're so good, I feel like sh*t and wanted some extra carbs as a treat. I don't do it every time I order Chinese food. Was his reaction OTT or AIBU about the chips?

Woah- who the fuck does he think he is, barring you from ordering food?

[NapQueen]

Your dh sounds like a wanker

Huffing in another room? Over chips?

Is he always such a knob?

[AutumnLego]

Is he serious?!

[LagunaBubbles]

You are seriously asking if your DH is allowed to dictate to you what you eat?

[BetterEatCheese]

What a weird reaction to some chips! What's the issue?

Our Chinese does amazing chips too and when they're dipped in sweet and sour.... mmmmmm

[killerwhale]

Sounds like a right wally

[Auspiciouspanda]

He's an absolute wally tell him to mind his own business.

Gravy and chips are always a side to my chinese!

[letsdolunch321]

Eat his dinner as well the sulking wanker

[Njordsgrrrl]

Chips in sweet n sour? Wait, this is a game-changer! LTB OP. It's the only way.

[SpeckleDust]

It’s never unreasonable to order chips with any meal, particularly Chinese!

Pfft at him telling you you’re banned from ordering them again.

[AlternativeTentacle]

we have always had chips with chinese food. if we have extra, i freeze them and reheat in the oven. He is a colossal twat. And not your boss.

[Loopy9]

Unhealthy chips with your takeaway? hahaha he’s bonkers!

[Londonbum]

Well, besides the fact that your DH is a huge twat who has picked a very peculiar hill to die on here, who doesn't order chips with their Chinese?! I've never had a Chinese without some. Hope you have enjoyed them anyway!

[Madonnasmum]

You have to ask???? No! He's being an absolute dick!

[PavlovianLunge]

Personally, I don’t like chips with Chinese, but if you do, go for it.

Oh and tell your DH that he doesn’t dictate what you eat. Appalling behaviour.

[AnneLovesGilbert]

Fuck him. Did you at least get to eat them? You’re an adult. You get to eat anything you bloody well want to. He’s being a bullying, dictatorial knob head. What you eat is not up for discussion. Tell him to back the hell off.

I hope you feel better soon

[CoffeebyIV]

Wanker. You have chips from the Chinese to mop up the lovely sauces.

[ShirleyPhallus]

What a wang

Chinese chips are the best chips ever! Dipped in sweet and sour sauce they are fucking delicious

[SparklingSnowdrops]

We always order chips with our Chinese!

[DontBuyANewMumCashmere]

Ordering me not to do something is a sure fire way to ensure I will do the thing every day for the rest of my life.
Fucker.

[LadyOfTheCanyon]

Leaving aside the fact that your DP sounds like a festering manchild, chips with Chinese does seem mental. Unless you're not having rice, in which case crack on.

[Lovely22]

What why? Is he usually so highly strung?

[nocoolnamesleft]

Chips dipped in sweet and sour are a food of the gods. He's an idiot.

[DingleBerries]

Fuck me. He’s got chippoos (chipishoos).
