Argument with DH - AIBU?!

63 replies

Bunbum · 05/02/2024 18:09

So DH just called up to ask what I have made for dinner, now granted I didn’t think things through today and ended up making spicy chicken to go with yesterdays leftover pasta and the two actually don’t go together well. However, it has just been one of those days today and I didn’t want to waste the leftovers from the weekend.

Any way, he kicked off over the phone saying that I don’t do anything all day (we have 2 young children so believe you me I don’t sit on my arse doing nothing all day!) and how basically I had one job and effed it up.

99.9% of the time I cook lovely meals and we rarely order takeaways. It was just one of those days!

He’s done what he always does when he sulks and is running off to mummy’s house to eat there instead. Of course eating a nice meal is more important than wasting food that we have here and coming home to your wife and children.

I know he has been working all day but I’m pissed off at how much of an entitled man child he can be.

He's an utter gobshite

Fannyfiggs · 05/02/2024 18:28

Nah, he could fuck off to his mother's for good. Arsehole!!

JackieQueen · 05/02/2024 18:30

Spicy chicken and pasta sounds lovely! He doesn't know what he's missing! Wouldn't it be funny if he turned up at mummy's and she had made.....spicy chicken and pasta!😅

p1ppyL0ngstocking · 05/02/2024 18:34

Have you told him that when he runs back to his mummy it gives you the ick?

A man acting like a tantruming toddler is enough to put anyone off.

Sounds like a fact he needs to hear.

TwilightSkies · 05/02/2024 18:37

I hope you get a job, some financial independence and leave him. Then he can get his mummy to make his dindins every night! Win-win

Rainbows89 · 05/02/2024 18:39

Omg

im actually lost for words

I expect she'll be feeding him rusks or an Ella's kitchen pouche!

pointythings · 05/02/2024 18:42

If I were you, I'd get a job and let him have his hissy fit, because you don't want to be dependent on a loser manchild like that.

Yanbu he is out of order. Mil should have a word with herself too and not enable his childish behaviour.

Does he ever cook?!

Quite

I'd tell him to stay at his mum's until he learns the value of appreciating what people do for him. Arsehole.
Me too

Go out all day Saturday, leave him with the children. Expect a gourmet meal on your return.

Absolutely do this.

SnapdragonToadflax · 05/02/2024 18:45

OP, my partner once complained about how I ironed his shirt (very early on in our relationship). I haven't ironed anything for him since. It's been about... 18 years?

Petty perhaps, but he got the message.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 05/02/2024 18:50

Spicy chicken and pasta sounds delicious. He, on the other hand, sounds like a spoilt, stroppy man-baby.

"DH please stay at your mother's tonight. I'm too angry with you to want to deal with you today."

Even better: DH please stay with your birth mother tonight. I've got my hands full dealing with two toddlers all day, if you're not going to behave like a grown man then I'm sure as shit not going to be mummy to a third stroppy child too. Come back when you're prepared to be a grown man.

Daleksatemyshed · 05/02/2024 19:00

I don't suppose he's told his DM why he's eating with her this evening, unless his DM still treats him like her Darling little boy, in which case you've got much bigger problems that dinner Op.

ThereIbledit · 05/02/2024 19:02

Or text his mum and ask him if she's got PJs and a waterproof sheet for her giant manchild to have a sleepover tonight.

LauderSyme · 05/02/2024 19:03

What a prick 😡

And the rubber duck for his bath time!

Oh tell him to fuck off back to his mummy for good, how embarrassing that he runs home.

I would have zero respect for such a pathetic person 🤮

Not that my sons would ever do this, but if they tried, I'd send them packing!

doilooklikeicare · 05/02/2024 19:06

@baileybrosbuildingandloan me too, although they wouldn't do it as you say!

I'm not sure if my DS tried this, if I would laugh or cry!

doilooklikeicare · 05/02/2024 19:08

@Bunbum I've just had a thought.....

Has he got his dummy and blankie?

Could you run them over!

Definitely the second one 👆

Riapia · 05/02/2024 19:10

If he eats with his mother then he can go and live with his fucking rotten mother.

Wishitsnows · 05/02/2024 19:12

how pathetic of him! Does he really work that hard that you need to serve him in this way or does he just tell you how hard he works and he’s the breadwinner. I can’t imagine finding a man who ran to his mum as he didn’t like your menu this evening sexually attractive ever again!

Well said

randomusernam · 05/02/2024 19:14

That is the biggest ick to me. Makes my inside shrivel up. The fact he ran home to mummy. If my son ever calls me up asking to come for tea cuz he doesn't like the dinner wife has made I will be saying err no go home snd cook your own.
