To think that after 6 years of marriage my husband might know how I take my tea?

Or even care about making a cup I would enjoy?

I like: strongish, one sugar, one sweetner.
He makes (on the rare occasion he makes me one): so weak it's barely tea, half a sugar - unstirred. For me, undrinkable. If I'm in the kitchen I go back, stick the tea bag back in (if he's left it in the ramekin we use for the purpose) add a sweetner etc. I might as well have made it myself. If I'm working 2 floors up it generally goes untouched.

I know, it's hardly assault and battery, but it makes me feel like he doesn't really know me or give a toss, y'know?

It's not as much if a problem ad it might be. His usual trick is to say - would you like a cup if tea? And then do nothing whatsoever about it. To the point that I think it's his way if saying "Would you like a cup if tea? Oh, good, you can make one for me while you're at it".

Oh, and he made HIS HALF if the bed yesterday. I mean, really?!

I probably am BU. But he's really getting on my tits just at the mo.

FUCK YOU

As tempting as that offer is because my DH is working night shift I will have to politely decline Xmas Grin

AgentZigzag · 10/12/2011 01:48

Awww Sad

I was hoping for a bit of a rukus.

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 01:48

My ex would likely have thought that clitoris was some kind of herbal tea like redbush. 'Would that be 1 lump or 2 with it & would you like the spoon left in?'.

buzzswellington · 10/12/2011 01:50

I'll give you a ruuuuuckuuus. Grin

AgentZigzag · 10/12/2011 01:51

Looking at the other thread titles, I saw you'd posted Spermysextowel and just had to come back and compliment your leaves-me-feeling-a-bit-sticky MN name Smile

AgentZigzag · 10/12/2011 01:52

And to say that DH has just made us cheese on toast with spag hoops

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 01:55

But Agent, was the cheese to your correct grillage? If so you have a gem.

WorraLiberty · 10/12/2011 01:57

Well I think your DH is bloody rude not to have made us lot any Hmm

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 01:57

And thanks. I was told the other day it was repulsive (my name, not ConT with Spag hoops).

AgentZigzag · 10/12/2011 01:59

It was spot on cheers Smegs, hoops not too sloppy, red leicester and parmesan on toast that wasn't burnt.

He didn't offer to get me a refill though, so maybe there is room for complaint...

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 01:59

Yes worra there's loads of us on a voyeur bench with no sustenance.

AgentZigzag · 10/12/2011 02:01

I'm keeping my eye on how much beer he's got left so I can hook him into getting me one while he's up Grin

He said you were all so quiet he forgot you were there, or he'd have offered to make everyone some.

AgentZigzag · 10/12/2011 02:03
Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 02:03

Awww. Smegs that's a cute nickname nickname! Parmesan; that's really fancy - ever thought of putting him up for Masterchef?

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 02:08

I have basil & pecorino dip, smoked salmon parcels, antipasti platter & some Advocaat.

AgentZigzag · 10/12/2011 02:12

I don't believe you Grin

WorraLiberty · 10/12/2011 02:12

Well I think you should leave the bastard tonight!!

After he's topped up your drink obviously Xmas Grin

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 02:21

No really, I left out some items from my list of goodies. I have some cheeses I've never heard of, lots of taramosolata thingy, pittas & sausages. Agent I seriously think that with that combo as a starter & your DH thing as a main, we could have a meal that Greg Wallace would describe as 'a kiss on a plate'.

AgentZigzag · 10/12/2011 02:26

I've been forced to traipse all the way to the kitchen and pour my own drink out Shock Hmm

I'm silently fuming at how slow he's drinking tonight.

I made DD1 a birthday cake (with choc buttons and smarties and everything) last week, we could finish off with that?

Got squirty cream too Smile

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 02:30

Hm. Depends on the juxtaposition of the buttons & Smarties.

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 02:31

Oh hold on, you mean for us tonight, not for our Masterchef entry?

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 02:33

FMLOB Grin

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 02:34

What does FMLOB mean?

demetersdaughter · 10/12/2011 02:36

Tea is something best made yourself.
It tastes shit not nice if the designated tea maker gets it wrong.
Earl grey in the wrong hands tastes like snot flavoured playdough.

AgentZigzag · 10/12/2011 02:38

'FMLOB'

Been watching too much bill and ben?

Grin

White choc buttons and smarties arranged in a circular pattern (a few too many tbh, I got carried away Blush) on a Nigella fudge icing thing.

It won't last until tomorrow let alone Masterchef trials.
