Dh taking photos of our dinners AIBU to be pissed off?

Dh has started taking photos of the dinners I serve up. He posts them on Facebook and then his mates, who all think their amateur chefs, comment on them.

This has pissed me off but I have just shrugged it off. Now last night we had a scrape the bottom of the freezer tea as it is payday on Wednesday. It was a Cornish pasty, beans and cheese. Not healthy I know but all we had left. He posted it and an ex girlfriend commented that it was "heart attack on a plate".

Now he tells me that he is going to tag is ex girlfriend on the photo every day so she can comment on how healthy it is. This really annoyed me and I said its bad enough that your mates judge me, now you want an ex girlfriend to judge as well.

He now has the hump and says I'm being over sensitive.

AIBU?

I agree with the alphabet spaghetti idea.
If you do it well enough and carefully place it on toast it could be like subliminal messaging.
'Piss off slaggy ex-girlfriend. In yer face you cow'

It had never occurred to me to make a bacon sandwich with eggy bread. Hmm

NoelHeadbands · 22/01/2013 20:35

He posted it and an ex girlfriend commented that it was "heart attack on a plate".

She was just wishful thinking I'm sure

Nanny0gg · 22/01/2013 20:35

Of course people can (and do) stop cooking for the OHs when they're behaving like @rses.
Can't understand why you haven't stopped already.
Although if it were me, he'd need a torch and a compass to find his phone.

fuckadoodlepoopoo · 22/01/2013 20:35

What total arse things does he do?

RavenVonChaos · 22/01/2013 20:37

Put a massive dog turd on a plate and serve that up to him.

deleted203 · 22/01/2013 20:37

I'd take a photo of his cock and tell him casually I was going to post it on FB asking for 'ratings' and 'comments'. (I'd also be tempted to tell him you weren't going to put it in your mouth until his Ex had confirmed to you that it was healthy and how many calories it contained).

GhoulWithADragonTattoo · 22/01/2013 20:37

Are you a really good cook OP? Is he posting the pictures hoping to get lots of positive comments? If so I suppose it's a compliment of sorts. If you're not a great cook / are just putting up ordinary meals and the comments are mixed at best I'd say he's being a total dick and I genuinely wouldn't cook for him.

CuriousMama · 22/01/2013 20:38

Yes totally refuse to cook for him.

He's very weird. I'd be seriously worried about dp if he did this.

CaptainVonTrapp · 22/01/2013 20:39

I like all the alphabetti spaghetti ideas but really its to good for him. Now the dog turd suggestion - that is more like what he deserves!

BertieBotts · 22/01/2013 20:42

Oh god fuckadoodle do it. It's amazing.

DeepRedBetty · 22/01/2013 20:43

sowornout

Alliwantisaroomsomewhere · 22/01/2013 20:45

Ooooohhh, bacon sandwich with eggy bread. Yum.

OP, your DH is being a twat.

wewereherefirst · 22/01/2013 20:45

I love the idea of swearing in vegetable form, very artistic and a great way to get the point across. It could run for weeks with him being served vegetable swears. His ex would love the healthiness of it all I'm sure.

Id probably be threatening to do the 'will it blend' challenge on DH's cock but that's me...

YANBU.

fuckadoodlepoopoo · 22/01/2013 20:50

You HAVE to do that op!

Crikeyblimey · 22/01/2013 20:51

Absolute arse. Unless he raves about your cooking and is showing off your skills, then he's being a twat.

Bacon butty with eggy bread!! Just shared that gem with the boys and it has been declared the "must have"'Sunday breakfast :)

EricNorthmansFangBanger · 22/01/2013 20:53

YANBU. Tell the wanker to cook his own tea.

HecateWhoopass · 22/01/2013 20:56

Why should it be a massive argument?

you're not his servant.

you are perfectly entitled to say that you have had enough of being mocked (- because make no mistake THAT is what he is doing. He is mocking you. ) and that from now on, he can cook his own food because you aren't going to be the butt of his jokes. Something for him to get people to laugh at and criticise.

Lollybrolly · 22/01/2013 20:58

for you OP!!!!

Start uploading pics of designer food like this instead and then see how smug his ex is!!!!! food design

Joiningthegang · 22/01/2013 20:59

Yanbu - just stop cooking for hom - what a tosser

SaggyOldPregnantCatpuss · 22/01/2013 20:59

LEAVE THE BASTARD!

SirBoobAlot · 22/01/2013 21:02

Oh I hate it when people update pictures of their dinner. Why the fuck do I care what you are having for dinner?

YANBU. Stop cooking for him.

TallyGrenshall · 22/01/2013 21:03

It doesn't need to be a massive argument, just stop doing it. You asked him to stop posting the pics for his mates to take the piss out of, he didn't so now he can look after himself.

ConfusedPixie · 22/01/2013 21:03

YY to the peas!
YADNBU!

I think it's a bt rubbish to constantly put photos of dinner on FB, my sister does it and it drives me mad. It does make DP thankful he got the sane vegetarian sister rather than the one who's cooking is still in the old fashioned veggie mindset Lime risotto, asparagus and chilli-cheese courgette chunks anyone?

(The risotto and asparagus pairing is okay, but chilli-cheese courgette chunks too?! Lime and cheese?!)

Or veggie 'chicken' kievs with a stir-fry noodle salad? I could go on and on about my sister's weird combos!

BadgersRetreat · 22/01/2013 21:04

cook his iphone and serve it up to him au gratin
