DP didn't make me dinner...

I bought the ingredients to make a meat Bolognese for us all. I am a vegetarian, so we normally make the sauce, then add the meat after, and this way we all enjoy the meal.

My partner has decided to mix it all in, and now I have no dinner!!! Of course he knows I don't eat meat, and said he thought I had said I was going to make something different.... Like what!? Wtf

I'm hungry and maybe forced to eat meat!

What would you do?

You're not being forced to eat meat. Yes, he's a div but only you know if he's a deliberate or accidental div. Would there be reason to think you were planning on having something else?

As others have said, add something else to the pasta or order something in.. Probably his favourite takeaway.

Well obviously you don’t have to eat meat. Egg and chips?

Hannahandlucy · 30/12/2024 17:58

This is such a non issue. Either make yourself something else or use it as an excuse to get a yummy takeaway all to yourself!

Just have a sandwich or some beans on toast.

Hopefully this isn't another one of those drip feed posts where the OPs husband is a psycho abuser.

As a grown-up adult, I'm sure you'll figure it out

Take away with his money.

Men are such fucking twats, every day there's a new example.

Well you will have to eat something else or if you have nothing else in order a takeaway.

Therealjudgejudy · 30/12/2024 17:55

Get yourself a takeaway!

janfebmar87 · 30/12/2024 17:55

Sounds like an honest mistake. Surely is something in the house you can eat

inkyfingers · 30/12/2024 17:55

Surely there is lots in the fridge after Christmas? I’d be eating all the cheese

Scutterbug · 30/12/2024 17:54

Any pesto in the house? Cheese and pesto pasta would be my solution.

Kangarude · 30/12/2024 17:54

If I was vegetarian there is no way that I’d casually decide to eat meat
Can you put some cheese on the pasta instead?

I would order a nice chinese and enjoy
