Who is right? Me or him?

I’m 8 months pregnant.. heavy and tired (also have 2 year old who does not attend nursery).

If I do say so myself, I keep the house near spotless (considering toddler is running everywhere!!) and cook lovely fresh meals 6/7 days a week (rarely get a takeaway).

I seem to have seriously pissed off my partner tonight though… admittedly tonight’s meal was random (pizza, chicken wings in nandos sauce with leftover rice and salad). He works desperately long hours (6am - 9pm most nights) and doing a very physical job. He also does about 3/4 hours of driving for the commute every day.

His argument is that he does all this, 6 days a week, pays all the bills and stocks up the freezer with nice butcher meats etc, all to come home to chicken wings and a cheap pizza. It wasn’t quiteeee that bad.. but yes I do understand his point.

However, I can’t help but feel upset that he has shouted at me down the phone and made me feel so shitty for having a slack day. He thinks my 2 year old will sit and play happily by himself whilst I make that one meal which I’m responsible for each day, but that is not the case!

Please be honest here… who is in the right?

I’d ask him to cook dinner, you get to have a day off too. Yes he has a physical job but he can still help ?? My partner has a physical job too but he helps with the cleaning and cooking still. No excuses.
I read someone saying they could not believe people that have partners and husbands helping out once they come home. Well I can’t believe some partners/husbands ARE NOT helping out.

There are two sides to this story. My DH would be pissed off if he'd done a long physical day and there was meat in the freezer but I gave him pizza though.

I'm three months pregnant. I was at a wedding yesterday in the middle of nowhere which had a free bar, but they only fed us once in the ten hours they hosted us.

I was pissed off, definitely.

But I didn't shout at the bride and groom, because I'm not an ignorant troll.
