Wtf should I do?
I don't think it's on finance either.

The utter shit. How the eff is one turbot sandwich going to keep him fed till' later? I suppose he'll want a share of your more practical and filling lunch won't he?!

discobeaver · 28/01/2012 10:16

I'm always the one who has the sensible lunch. You can get two loaves of bread for less than his fancy sandwich

Why don't you go out and buy something wild like Sushi? That'll show him!

Thankgodforcaffeine · 28/01/2012 10:39

Leave the bastard :o

KittyFane · 28/01/2012 10:51

It gets worse.
All this money being spent.
40p, 30k and now £3.
Leave him.

cornsilxsxy · 28/01/2012 10:53

you should be making his sandwiches for him. Poor man.

randommoment · 28/01/2012 11:19

Mine spent £3.50 on a pint of lager last night. And some crisps as well. Obviously I'm not feeding him properly.

Gay40 · 28/01/2012 11:21

Are you saying he didn't check with you first that it would be OK to buy the sandwich BECAUSE THAT IS LYING AND CHEATING apparently.

motherinferior · 28/01/2012 11:24

cornsilxsxy's right, you know. If you're not making his sandwiches, he'll get his sandwiches elsewhere. And you know there are just masses of women out there watching beady-eyed to find a man who's looking for a sandwich.

norriscoleforpm · 28/01/2012 11:25

Can't he make a sandwich? Do you have no falafal or rocket in the house? Because frankly, if not, then I don't blame him.

norriscoleforpm · 28/01/2012 11:26

Actually, my dh had a haircut on Thursday. Just went off and came back with nice short hair. I was incensed.

motherinferior · 28/01/2012 11:28

But really, you've only got yourself to blame. Didn't you sit down and discuss sandwiches - and haircuts, obviously - before deciding to have sex children? What can you expect if you don't talk these things through?

MrsPotter · 28/01/2012 12:35

Everyones being childish now, pack it the fuck in.

StarlightMcKenzie · 28/01/2012 12:43

Does it have a warranty?

StarlightMcKenzie · 28/01/2012 12:43

Perhaps he'll be able to go three years without buying another.

RatDesPaquerettes · 28/01/2012 12:48

discobeaver - hadn't you earmarked the money he has spent on the sandwich to renovate your new house from top to bottom too?

Animation · 28/01/2012 12:53

He's being controlling.

Leave him.

Convert · 28/01/2012 12:56

Was the sandwich for him or did he actually buy it for another woman?! Maybe he is seducing someone else with his rocket?

Check his emails, his bank statements and his phone. Then shred his clothes and divorce him.

Selfish sandwich eating bastard.

HappyHoppyHippy · 28/01/2012 12:57

Yawn

SiamoNellaMerda · 28/01/2012 13:00

Bleach the bloody sandwich - let's see how much he enjoys it then! Or cut it into a zillion bits!

VivaLeBeaver · 28/01/2012 13:02

DH says thats a quality sandwich for a good price. Envy

catinboots · 28/01/2012 13:04

This isn't a pleasant thread.

I don't see any stealth boasting on the other thread. People who have more than tuppence to their name have a right to vent on here as well!

MN is supposed to be for everyone. Not just the hard-done-by and the competative poor (ie - I can feed my family of 6 for £3.75 a week on one chicken and a turnip, DH and I share one Penny Farthing between us etc)

LtEveDallas · 28/01/2012 13:04

Oh good, another nasty person to add to the list.

norriscoleforpm · 28/01/2012 13:05

Oh come on everyone- do we know what was in the sandwich? it may have just been egg and cress! Perhaps it was from sainsburys and not Marks? We actually don't knowthe back story so i think this should stop really.
