I'm poorly I fancied just grilled salmon - & DH went and got?

[KatyMac]

OK I am poorly, I have been off my food

Last night about 10pm I suddenly fancied grilled salmon, mustard brown suagr and soy sauce glaze

No salmon in the freezer

DH went off (to play tennis - important that, not work!) and I asked him to bring some salmon in for me to cook

Came home with no salmon, I'll do a big shop when I collect DD from the train later

I suggested I might need salmon sooner, would he like to do the big shop now or just pop out (5 minutes in the car) to get me some salmon and some nice bread to eat it with

Big discussion ensued & eventually he went

& brought back precooked (can't be heated up again) salmon

We have never had that before ever (important DH only buys what we have had before) never looked at it in the shops or considered it. So it's not hot, it's not marinaded in what I wanted and it probably has things in I'm not allowed (not technically allowed soya sauce either but......I needed a treat)

May I have a temper tantrum?

(can't drive or walk far otherwise I'd go and get my bloody salmon, which tbf I'm not sure I want now after all the discussion)

It's annoying, but you'll live!

It's annoying, but you'll live!

Well probably, but will he?

OP, I’d love to have your problem. I’ve been widowed for nearly 27 years, ever since my kids were babies, and if I ever wanted salmon I had to go and drive a 20 mile round trip to the nearest supermarket to get it myself.
I know you feel peeved, but personally I think a little counting of blessings wouldn’t go amiss!

Did you send him out at 10 last night?

And tbh I’d slarry the shit out of the precooked salmon, bung it in the microwave and make do.

You’re not that ill if you’re going to collect a child and do a shop later.

In the nicest possible way, get a grip.

Pre-cooked salmon can't be reheated? I heat it all the time!

Why can't you have soy sauce?

Could he not be arsed loooking for the fresh Salmon? I would be annoyed too.

Are you sure you can't reheat it? Something in the back of mind is saying that I have done before work something similar from Tesco, think it a chilli marinade thing on.

I'd make him go back.

It's not a competitive misery contest, because some people have been widowed doesn't mean the rest of us put up with inconsiderate behaviour from our osm husbands.

And yep I know lighthearted but the circumstances you describe sound like either deliberate misbuying or a moment of fuckit first thing I see will do and neither is really acceptable.

You'll be all sorts of bad things on here though.

I think it's meant to be lighthearted babdoc

Did you send him out at 10 last night? no but I considered it

We moved to a town so we didn't have to do a 20 mile trip to get food anymore (hospital/doctor etc)
& while I'm deeply sorry you lost your husband Babdoc, not being sarcastis to the loss of a partenr is unimaginablely horrific - I'm not sure it affects my situation right now

I have been plunged into surgical menopause and my DH is depriving me of adequate nourishment.....seems reasonable to temper tantrum to me?

I am really shocked reading this. Are you properly ill? Otherwise you sound ridiculous.

Of course you can reheat it

And it's always worth remembering that there are people worse off than you. It can nip this sort of behaviour in the bud

You sound a bit spoilt

I think it's DH who was going out to do a big shop and pick up the child.
My lighthearted sympathies in response to your lighthearted problem, OP.
Hope you soon feel better.

Something tells me you're going to regret starting this thread Katy 🍣

I can beat that! This is absolute truth.

A couple of years ago I had a really bad chest infection, DP went to shops and I asked him to bring me some cough linctus..........came back with a pair of maracas.

Sorry this was him talking "I'll do a big shop when I collect DD from the train later" I won't be driving for weeks (I understand)

Yes can't be arsed to look I think

No it says do not reheat I probably would normally but I dunno what my guts are doing atm so I'm a bit reluctant

Soy because pre op (hopefully post is different) it was a food I was intolerant to.........I have great unrealistic hopes of eating all the things I could eat before

But Salmon I could eat before and we eat it loads it's unimaginable he got it wrong! DD is sat on a train saying "how on earth.....?"

Actually I thought I'd get a bit of lighthearted sympathy and a few shouts of 'LTB' and a bit of company while feeling a bit down

Oviously MN is not in that mood today

YANBU to tantrum away if you're recovering from a major operation but DH is NBU to think you are a bit batshit crazy

x post

Exactly EstuaryBird just the comment I was hoping for - did he rationalise his choice?

estuary that actually made me laugh 😂 how?

I suppose shaking the maracas woud help shift the phlegm from your chest?
