DH annoyed because I didn’t give him his dinner first?

My brother popped in this evening he wanted some help with prepping for his job interview. I was dishing up dinner everyone was upstairs my brother was in the kitchen with me. DC then had diarrhoea in the downstairs toilet so I just gave my brother that plate whilst I attended to poo-gate. DH came downstairs whilst my brother was eating and I was cleaning up poo and gave me the most deadly stare. I said to him do you want your dinner now as sometimes he likes to have it later. He said I should have had mine first! He’s still going on about it!

So big man needs big man food first so your brother doesnt out Alpha him?

How pathetic.

ETA hope he gets a bug given that you dished Big Man's food up after the poonami!

Is this a zombie thread from 1950?

Floatingonahope · 17/07/2025 22:43

YANBU but… YABU to put up with that! Is he always like this?

Inertia · 17/07/2025 22:40

What he should have done was cleaned up your child while you finished dinner.

ChocolateCinderToffee · 17/07/2025 22:38

So you were cooking dinner, clearing up after your child and helping your brother with his interview prep.

What was this prince among men you are married to doing upstairs, meanwhile?

Rooroobear · 17/07/2025 22:25

Oh throwing a mantrum….how attractive 🥱

Jambolaya · 17/07/2025 22:24

Before I respond to your post, I’d like to know how you managed to access the internet in 1950??

What a massive baby.

Terrribletwos · 17/07/2025 22:20

Yet another AI post, amongst so many.....yawn.

Ibelievetheworldisburningtotheground · 17/07/2025 22:19

If this is serious, he's an absolute arse. Imagine this isn't the only way he expresses this. What do you find attractive about him?

LurkyMcLurkinson · 17/07/2025 22:17

He sounds vile? Is he typically controlling?

pizzaHeart · 17/07/2025 22:16

WTF???
Just out of curiosity did he give you a reason why?

IhadaStripeyDeckchair · 17/07/2025 22:10

I'd tell him the best way for him to get his dinner first (& when he wants it) is to cook it himself.

Simbaonedaythiswillallbeyours · 17/07/2025 22:07

Is his willy so huge it prevents him getting near the plates or stove?

Good lord, what a giant baby.

TimeFlysWhenYoureHavingRum · 17/07/2025 22:06

Get rid. He sounds like a total pig.

Devianinc · 17/07/2025 22:05

I’d bet a million dollars he didn’t act like this when they were dating. I guess that men think when they marry women they become slaves. It’s really unbelievable that in this day and age that this still happens. All I can say is yuck.

How do men like this attract women in the first place?

His massive dick is the stuff dreams are made of but gets in the way and is heavy and cumbersome, so OP has to plate up his meals. Apparently.

SpinachSpinachMoreSpinach · 17/07/2025 22:01

Is this typical of the way he talks to you?

if so you have a problem.

Shesellsseashellsnotinmystreet · 17/07/2025 22:01

Just wow.
Isn't he a catch?

Sally2791 · 17/07/2025 22:00

Yet another dick excuse for a man

candycane222 · 17/07/2025 22:00

Oh dear. How pathetic and nasty. Does he usually treat everyone around him as his inferior staff to lick his boots and be bossed around by him, or is he just made very insecure by your brother?

I can't believe someone who can act with such blatant unreasonableness can be a great husband the reat of the time.

Poor you. You do not have to put up with this: he is certainly in breach of any vows he made to honour you.

This is spot on! A whiny whinge bag is not much of a turn on. A grown adult having a strop like a toddler.

GettingFestiveNow · 17/07/2025 21:59

And I believe it is generally considered polite to serve guests first. Does he often make up random rubbish to have a go at you for?

GettingFestiveNow · 17/07/2025 21:59

If he wants to dictate the plating order he needs to cook it.

Theunamedcat · 17/07/2025 21:58

Did he want you to plate him up with dirty hands? I mean you literally had your hands full of shit

Dartmoorcheffy · 17/07/2025 21:58

Does he have a problem with using his own arms?
