Has lack of Premier Inn breakfast ruined the weekend?

Hotel breakfasts are generally shit and PI are no different. I always opt for room only rate.

is that a joke? I really don’t mind PI breakfast but the coffee is definitely not what I would choose if there were loads of proper coffee shops nearby… same with the pastries!

She’s already explained why she is still upset, his massive tantrum and sulking towards her…

I really fancy a Premier Inn breakfast now - haven't had one for ages.

He sounds like a moody sulky man child.

Well they all agreed (DH included) to the plan. If he wanted PI breakfast, there was nothing stopping him from booking it for himself, or for all of you.
YANBU.
He's a twat.

You can get perfectly good porridge, pastries, toast and spreads with the Premier Inn Breakfast. PI coffee is pretty good too .If that’s all you ate at the independent cafe you went to, can’t see why you bothered!

Your H is a PITA.

You are not the problem.

No I'm not embarrassed about needing to eat when im hungry? Some people can skip meals, or wait until something is perfect, others can't. And in a relationship you have to make sure theres a balance.

But would you have carried on sulking for hours afterwards? Or would you have acted like a grown-up and thought "What the hell, it's only breakfast, we can do it another time" and got on with your life?

YANBU. I had the dubious delight of Premier Inn breakfast twice last week and it was mediocre at best.

I’m in London for 2 nights next month for work. Staying at PI but haven’t booked breakfast because it’s London, awash with better places to have breakfast!

Do you genuinely believe that you are incapable of controlling your temper if you’re hungry? Like a toddler? Are you not in the least embarrassed by that?

Most dentists apparently recommend brushing before breakfast (yes, that seems odd to me as well but I’m not a dentist). Think it’s something to do with not damaging the enamel.

For me, the time to seek out artisan food in a strange area is not first thing in the morning, especially when people feel below par anyway, and it's freezing cold. But others might be fine with that.
He should have had his breakfast in the hotel first if he really, really wanted it, and sat with a coffee in the nice cafe while you had your more interesting food, if you really wanted that.
Sulking all day is a bit much, it was only breakfast. He can have a cooked breakfast at home whenever he wants can't he?

So another thread where thd man ruins a family day out. Leave him behind next time. Just take the teens. Sulky twat.

I'm so sorry, I'm team DH as I've been there. My DH is really fussy, hates chain cafes/restaurants, needs 'ambience' and all that. Whereas I get HANGRY. So many times we've been traipsing around for somewhere that fits his needs, me thinking about how I could be full and happy if we'd eaten at first place we found. And I have snapped after one of those days, asking why his needs trumped my need not to be hungry. It caused a much bigger discussion! So perhaps there is some of that in play here?

Last time I had a PI breakfast, it was lukewarm and was quite limited in terms of choice - it was massively overpriced the circumstances. So the next time I stayed in one I gave it at a miss and went to a Tesco's cafe 10 minutes down the road. It was a lot better and cost £4 less.

Or after not before. Why you clean your teeth before breakfast. You cleaned it after tea so can't get dirty unless you eating overnight. I clean my teeth like everyone I know after breakfast hence why Id struggle to eat then not clean my teeth

Yes, I have and they are in a whole category of their own. Over three decades mine had got away with it just to make my own life bearable. And before anyone says anything, yes, I should have left probably even before marriage.

@Liesmorelies- did it spoilt the whole weekend or just the journey home when you were all tired and unwell anyway, so was always going to be a bit shit? You need to reframe. You had a lovely time but you’d already decided you wouldnt do anything on the Sunday, just get up have some breakfast and go home. You tried to squeeze in a fun breakfast anyway, it didn’t work out, on reflection a bad idea when everyone just wanted to eat and go home. But that will only spoil the whole weekend if you decide this ending of the weekend is all that matters.

The most unreasonable part of this is your dh punishing you for a decision he jointly made with you! What a baby!

Personally I'd have preferred to PI breakfast, but I'd have said at the time.

I think sometimes one has a vision on one’s head of what something will be like and when it’s different it’s disappointing.

Sounds like his vision was big cooked breakfast and when that’s your dream even two nice pastries aren’t going to cut it.

But please pity me instead. I was promised a Premiere inn breakfast the Christmas before last and told stories of how brilliant it was. But they couldn’t fit us in because they were renovating and I got no breakfast at all because there were only two eggs (at my sister’s house) which she used to make pancakes for the children. No bread, all finished. She offered me yoghurt or a smoothie and frankly I’d rather starve. I had a Greggs vegan sausage roll at 11 on the drive back home and it was barely adequate.

So anyway YABU but sulking is very unlovely behaviour. The thing to do is to silently seethe while politely pretending everything is fine.

Yes, that's a really good point. I shouldn't rise to it but it's just frustrating to see OP get overloaded with awful, misogynistic replies.

You’ve got to understand there are a lot of sad little men who come on here pretending to be genuine posters who get a kick out of telling the OP she’s wrong no matter what.

Or they’re just not very bright.

I'm not sure why you are so determined to think the very worst of the OP and the very best of her husband. To be honest, I find it very odd.
