Please settle a light hearted argument...

Our coffee machine is broken, my partner has got in the habit of making a 10 minute walk in the morning to the local french bakery to grab a coffee.
I've asked if he will get me one he says he doesn't want to carry two back...

AIBU to think this is selfish?!
I want a coffee!!

That's bad and selfish. But why not just buy a coffee machine if you're going to waste money on take outs.

That's not a lighthearted argument. That's him telling you that you are not worth a minor inconvenience.

Weird and selfish!

That’s so selfish! I absolutely couldn’t imagine my DP saying that, I’d be shocked.

But, if you both want coffee you should be taking it in turns to go and collect it.

I would not be happy with that Angry
But, why can't you go for coffee for both of you if its so close?

Seriously
On paper this seems trivial
But actually it says a lot
An awful lot about how he sees you

That is awful. I can’t believe anyone would be so selfish.

That's awful. How selfish. I'd never consider going and getting a coffee and not getting DH one as well.

That’s really mean. I’d advise stopping something you do for him and say it’s much to hard. What a selfish got!

I think it's selfish of him not to get you a coffee if he's getting one for himself.

But I also think it's selfish not for you to offer to go half the time.

So a bit of both really.

I’d be thinking I didn’t want to cook two suppers or wondering if he needed a carer.

I’m petty... stop doing something for him😂 but not ok tbh

Does he bring it straight back or walk around drinking it? If former he’s a real arse, if latter I’d say that’s understandable. I do a long walk first thing and sometimes pick a coffee up for the last bit. I wouldn’t carry a second around for half an hour and it would be cold by the time I got it home anyway.

I don't see where this is lighthearted.

Something so small is very clear of what he thinks of you. (And in case you don't realise, it's not much at all)

My husband would 100% bring me a coffee. In fact I would go as far as to say that if it was only possible to bring one, he would bring me one, not himself. That is so callous op, it says a lot of what he thinks of you and how important it is to him to do things to help or please you. I would be really hurt.

That's actually awful. Thin end of the wedge too, I'll bet.
