The scenario:
I was busy all day Saturday out doing errands etc.
(D)P was working 7-3 shift.
I texted him while out & about to see what he & DS wanted for dinner and the result was that I purchased an M&S Indian 'takeaway' on the way home.
On arrival home (D)P was on the sofa in a blanket with his feet up. DS was playing on his Xbox. I confirmed that I'd got the Indian meal and went through to the kitchen to put it in the fridge.
(D)P shouted through after me that he wanted to eat about 8. (It was by now about 7pm.)
I mentioned that I was going up for a shower and would he put the oven on & food in oven in about 20 mins.
At this he became angry, petulant and aggressive- saying 'no way' was he getting the food ready as he had 'been at work all day'. He had been in the sofa since about (3.30pm).
I had not been idle all day and pointed out that I had in fact been on the go longer than him, having got up the same time and only just returned home at 6.50pm.
I reiterated that he needed to prepare the food. When I was upstairs I heard lots of noises, banging, swearing etc.
When I came down I found that he had thrown the outer cardboard carrying box containing the selection of food into the kitchen floor and one of the containers had burst. There was food splattered all over the units, floor & fridge. He proceeded to heat and eat the meals for him and DS and did not leave me any. Presumably there was not enough after the wasted split container. There was also a load in the bin.
I feel his behaviour is just the last straw. He is spiteful, selfish & unkind. I don't want to live with him any more.
(a) AIBU to feel that he could have prepared the food on this occasion and
(b) would this count as an example of unreasonable behaviour (grounds to divorce him).
