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 would print off some life-sized pictures of plates of food, cut them out and 'serve' them to him every meal until he gets the message.

Sunnywithshowers · 22/01/2013 21:16

YANBU

Get him to cook his own dinner. Gah.

swimmingcat · 22/01/2013 21:19

Give him the same thing everyday, such as a salad, (unless he likes salad).

BestestBrownies · 22/01/2013 21:25

I bet it's bloody AMAZING with a dollop of maple syrup

OP, make a massive effort with your own meals, but give him an empty plate. Post the photos on FB every day until he (and his tosspot friends) get the message.

Or just leave the bastard. Life's too short for this kind of shite.

ZacharyQuack · 22/01/2013 21:29

Tell him "Please stop posting Facebook photos of the meals I have cooked, it's rude and disrespectful. If you do it again, I will stop cooking for you. "

The next time he takes a photo of a meal you've cooked, calmly take his plate and scrape it into the bin, sit back down and eat your meal. Then never cook for him again.

NaturalBaby · 22/01/2013 21:29

I hae a couple of friends that do this - but the big difference is they are really good cooks and post pictures of their own restaurant quality dinners that they have cooked themselves!

Tryharder · 22/01/2013 21:42

LOL at some of the suggestions here.

I have also never heard of anyone regularly posting pictures of their dinners and inviting comments from friends. I can't imagine that anyone would give a flying fuck what I had for dinner. How utterly bizarre.

If he was doing it in a lovely complimentary way I.e. look how well my wife cooks, then it's fine. If he's trying to undermine and criticise your cooking, then you need to take action.

artyflarty · 22/01/2013 21:45

Laughing my socks off at this thread...

YADNBU though OP. He needs a short sharp shock. A colleague at work complained to his wife that he was getting too many cheese sandwiches. The next day he had a 'cat biscuit sandwich' in his lunchbox. He never complained again.

BadgersNadgers · 22/01/2013 21:45

I would go with Zachary or Sowornout. Actually, I would have shouted and screamed and stamped my feet and told him to fuck off!

Arion · 22/01/2013 21:49

I believe you! My DH told me that when they were kids, him, his sister, and his dad used to 'rate' his mums cooking (his dad is an abusive arsehole though but that's another story!). I told him it was rude, disrespectful to his Mum, and if e ever even considered marking my food out of 10, he would a - be wearing it, and b - cooking for himself for th foreseeable future!

Funnily enough, he doesn't mark my cooking! Grin

Whatevertheweather · 22/01/2013 21:49

on the menu tomorrow night

Ullena · 22/01/2013 21:58

Order yourself a massive takeaway and don't get anything for himGrin

mercibucket · 22/01/2013 22:09

snort, whatevertheweather Smile

ZenNudist · 22/01/2013 22:23

Think this has to be when you make him cook for you three times a week, you do three meals and one is eat out/ takeaway/ ready made food.

He sounds like an arse, and what's this about him colluding with an ex to slag you off? Angry

Inertia · 22/01/2013 22:33

He sounds like an arse and I'm willing to bet that he does other things to undermine and criticise you too.

How do you think he'd react if you stopped cooking his dinners ?

pigletmania · 22/01/2013 22:36

What an utter wanker and twat. Mabey you could offer to take a picture of his cock and post on Facebook so people can pass comment on it Grin

ots · 22/01/2013 23:13

My uncle once complained to his wife that she never put any greenery in his sandwiches. When he opened his lunch box at work the next day, it was full of grass Grin

VisualiseAHorse · 22/01/2013 23:19

Stop cooking for him.

CuriousMama · 22/01/2013 23:23

Grin ots

scrumpkin · 22/01/2013 23:27

Give the cunt an empty plate to snap.

ladymariner · 23/01/2013 00:00

Love it whatever that'll do the trick perfectly Grin

KentuckyFriedChildren · 23/01/2013 00:01

I think you should print out the pictures that he's uploaded and cut them out and put them on his plate each night. Or spell out "heart attack" on his plate with alphabetti spaghetti :o
