WIHBU to reach across the table and slap her?

[Numtum]

Well not literally her but the knife and fork...

Cooked dinner for an ex colleague and his wife and when I put the food down she picked up HIS knife and fork and cut up his food.

He has no physical problems which would stop him being able to do it his damn self. I've seen him a million times cut up and eat his food.

What the actual fuck did I just witness?! He's 41! I would ask if IABU but quite honestly I simply wouldn't accept such a statement.

I'm

that's bonkers!

at Dumbledores

Blatantly marking place.

My aunt did this to my uncle's dinner when my cousin's were young and they were out in a restaurant for a kid free night

Does she work with children or perhaps elderly people? My SMIL works in a care home and cuts up food for some of the residents if they have trouble managing the knife because of arthritis.

The wine is open I'm going to end up asking. It's going to happen.

Sex game I bet.

Have another glass. A large one.

Why are you on mumsnet if you have people over for dinner? Is she cutting up her Dh's food while you're typing away on your phone?

i reckon its some weird sexual submission thing. They feel more comfortable with you now to assume the master and slave role. The alternative is beyond consideration. Was there dessert or did he demand "bitty"

OK now you're teasing us OP. You had better ask or I'll be extremely disappointed....

Oh please do ask! Clearly not auto pilot with no children.

I once told a colleague to wash her hands as she exited the cubicle. I pretended it was a slip but I've been in there before when she hasn't

Could he possibly have some sort of medical issue? Parkinson's or similar?

Did she warn him it may be a bit too spicy for him and offer to scrape off the sauce? I reckon the OP is between courses when she's updating us!

How are you posting this while you've got guests, OP?

Are we going to get another thread later tonight, "AIBU? I was cutting up my husband's dinner when I realised the hostess was online..."

I have to know the answer to this.

Why does curry need cutting anyway?

I need to know her reason. Please ask her OP!

Are you sure he doesn't have some sort of temporary hand injury?

Are you sneaking off to MN when you have guests?
Have you asked yet?

Hmmmmmm

Too funny. It's like a Little Britain sketch where she gives him bitty.

Please please please, you HAVE to ask!

could he have developed an injury / disability that means he needs this done? My DH intermittently gets RSI in his hands from typing too much, which can be very debilitating (thought I've never yet had to cut up his food for him). but there could be a genuine physical cause, before you all laugh.

Shamelessly place marking :)..... Ask her!

Ha! what a weirdo!

If i let DH cut up my dinner i'd end up very hungry. When i broke my wrist he had to cut my dinner up and he put every other mouthful in his fecking gob. We went to a steak restaurant once and got about 4 cubes of meat and loads of salad
