Disgusting suggestion from DH - does anyone else actually do this?

[Libre2]

He suggested I microwave a cup of tea out of a luke warm pot. Does anyone do this? I do not and never will.

Actually I’m rather relieved. I was bracing myself for another stomach churning loser of a guy. This is wonderfully wholesome.

I have microwaved tea before but then forget and find it there hours later when I’m going to microwave something else 🥴

I'd totally do that - why waste it?

But so long as my tea is strong, no sugar and not too milky, I'm not too fussy.

Not tea but I will microwave coffee.

Apparently it would lead me to being deported in Finland :)

People still make tea in a pot?

A friend does this, it's rank. Make a fresh pot fgs, it's not hard.

On so many levels he is the perfect life partner. This has just shocked me to the core today - and after such a long time together. It makes me question whether he has been doing this behind my back for years.

Only for more than one cup. And here is the weirdness - DH is very particular about the pot, warms it and everything- and then suggests reheating…

Yes I’d do this with coffee but not tea

Pegging -- meh
Threesome -- meh

microwave the tea -- consult a divorce lawyer

I’ve reheated many of cups of tea, coffee, hot chocolate etc.

When my DC was a baby I’d never have time to drink it before it went cold and I hate waste and so I’d reheat it.

So the real question is how this came about??

If he used the pot then why were 2 cups of tea not made whilst it was still hot?

I thought it was normal to forget a cup of tea, warm it up, forget it was in the microwave, reheat it again, put it on the side, forget where you put it and make a new one.

Haha yep !

Pot was made e.g at 10am. At approx 11:30am I mooted that I fancied a cup of tea. He said there was tea left over in the pot and to “whack it in the microwave” whereupon I called him an animal.

I do it all the time with coffee - no taste difference noticed. I learned something by following this thread. A uni halls of residence cleaner in France said to me 'Le cafe bout n'as pas de gout' which I always took to mean 'boiled coffee doesn't taste good'. I now discover it means 'dregs of coffee don't taste good'. Sorry can't type the accents.

I drink white tea in the morning, I occasionally reheat that for 20 seconds, but I never drink milk and generally don't mind it lukewarm anyway.

I switch between green tea and Lapsang souchong in the afternoon, which I prefer hot and occasionally reheat.

In the evening I drink more delicate infusions - currently Hua Shan Huang Ya and Clipper Chamomile and Lavender for any tea-heads interested - and wouldn't microwave that.

I'm crazy about tea, and seek out blends and single estate stuff. We're also observant of tea traditions in that we heat the pot, always use a tea pot etc. However, despite my tea-iness, I usually find the fussy fluttering and faux-distress about #myprecioustea a teensy bit irritating, sorry OP and others

Revolting man. Of course we wouldnt do that

🤣🤣🤣

Divorce him NOW!!

Yes! I had never done it before having children. Now its tea, coffee, hot chocolate - they all suffer the same fate.

DP does it, if his cup has sat cooling. I'm a hot water drinker, so I'd just boil the kettle again.

Pack his teapot and his crocs and get him gone!

Hope that you have some RL support
