To be grumpy with DH and flounce off to bed as a result?

Had a very stressful day at work. Left and went straight to view a property as today was the only day we could see it this week - DH working late - on way home stopped at the supermarket and the wind blew my car door into another car's door by accident. Cue very angry man yelling at me 'it's a brand new car' - I understand, but it was an accident.
Driving home, get shunted at a junction by anothe car (karma?!): driver drives away without stopping. Cue lots of swearing from me at said driver. Texted DH to tell him as extremely pissed off. No reply...
Got in, did two loads of washing, hoovered the whole house, wrapped presents for DH's birthday later this week, then did two hours' work that I didn't have time to do today at work because I had to leave early to view the bloody house.
DH saunters in at quarter to nine and has a right old go at me for heating up leftovers for his dinner because 'you finished work at 4.30.'
Explained all of the above... To no avail. Shouted "I just want to have a lovely hour watching Great British Bake Off and go to bed so that today is over" and apparently I'm apparently being irrational.
So I called him a knob and flounced off to bed. Fantasising about returning the presents too Wink

Even without all of that, your DH IBU to moan at what someone else makes him for dinner.

HeavenlyChocolate · 04/09/2012 22:03

I agree with cocktailsandfriedchicken. If he doesn't like what someone else has made him for dinner, tell him he's more than welcome to make his own next time.

Why is it your job to sort is dinner ? What an arse

CoolaSchmoola · 04/09/2012 22:12

YANBU - I'd have probably thrown it at him.

Sometimes some men can't see past their own discomfort for a while. Hopefully he'll twig on and be grovelling by morning.

At least you did him something - if I'd had a day like that DH would have been presented with the pizza dude menu!

cheesesarnie · 04/09/2012 22:12

he's an arse.

KenLeeeeeee · 04/09/2012 22:17

Tell him to make his own cocking dinner in future.

Wine for you methinks

AmelieRose · 04/09/2012 22:48

My job to sort dinner when he's working late because the poor soul doesn't get in til late... Never mind he doesn't bloody start work til 12. Before he leaves he essentially lies on the couch til he has to leave. All bets are off when he does this shift - like living with a totally different person.

He does have a lot on his mind at the moment (his mum is very ill) however he's more and more taking the situation out on me. Tough to hold in how annoyed you are about things like this when I'm trying not to upset him further...but then circumstances aside he's still being a knob.

I trained dh out of whining about dinner with a tip I picked up from mn.

Make. Your. Fucking. Own.

And see it through.

Poor you op. Day from hell.

rhondajean · 04/09/2012 22:51

Return his presents!

Grrrr.

Poor diddums isn't he.

CaliforniaLeaving · 05/09/2012 01:57

Leave the bastard.
I'd tell him to make his own when he's working late from now on. What a knob.

Thumbwitch · 05/09/2012 02:01

I'd have dumped his "leftovers" in the bin and told him to sort his own fecking dinner out then if he was so ungrateful.

If he does fuck all around the house before he goes to work (no doubt "resting" for the day ahead Hmm) then I think it's only fair that you do nothing when he gets home. SO - YANBU at all.

Keep one present for him and hide the rest - ungrateful manchild (even with a sick mother, that's no excuse for being an arse to you).
